This is for all of you people that HAVEN'T CAPPED SoJ.

This is what I do instead of using that.

1 Illusionary Weaponry
2 prot spirit
3 hb
4 vig spirit (ill explain)
your 3 main enchants
8 zealots

Atts
Illusion 11
Healing 13
Smite 9
Prot 11
D Favor 7

I've seen builds where zealots is the main damage dealer, and this is basically that with a twist. At 11 IW does 31 damage per attack. Now you basically just spam hb, prot, and vig. Vig is nice to bring along, becuase it's a secondarly skill incase Healing Breeze get's interupted it's good enough to keep me alive at least. It only takes 5 energy to cast, so it's a great spam skill, perfect for zealots.

I like to bring IW because, once you get down to one or two trolls it just doesn't pay to spam your spells because you aren't regaining energy quick enough to continue the spam. IW is very useful in those cases, and is a nice way to deal some damage.

I'm less trying to show you my build, more asking for suggestions. My monk is relatively new, so I haven't gotten around to capping SoJ on him yet.

Any comments or suggestions on the build?

well i would say that using a Mo/N with SS would be alot better replacement for ppl without SoJ seeing how SS does dmg to the whole group, while IW takes ages when you need to cut down every single troll X.x

Which is a great idea. Except, I already tried that.

SS is way too easily interupted with a 2 second casting time (I think, right?). It get's interupted half the time, and has a moderately long cool down time.

And, not to mention I am using zealots to do damage to the whole group. I am not using IW as the sole damage dealer, so it doesn't take nearly as long as you'd think.

It does however take longer than it should.

Well when you cast the first SS, then they got no adreanalin, then you do Reckless hast both to speed up the killing speed, but also it makes them miss like 40% ?? of the time i belive.. Then when casting your next SS you would allready have them reckless'ed, and a Gaurdian should help further with the interupts.. Also there is alot of 55 SS necros out there, So i belive that it should be perfectley possible. Even without getting interupted half of the time.

Which is true, but you never mentioned adding any of those skills into the build when you suggested SS. I was simply assuming you meant substitue IW for SS.

You can always get Signet of Judgement in the meantime and it is easier to get and this might of been better posted in farming forum.
