Distortion really shouldn't be necessary with a 55 monk. This skill actually works against your energy management skills, Balth Spirit and Essence Bond.

You could swap in Blessed Sig or something else instead and gain more benefit from it imo. It shortens downtime and makes you less dependent on getting hit for energy management.

what do you farm with it?

Nilator · Feb 21, 2006, 07:10 PM // 19:10

it works quite well, griffs(both kinds work so far)

I think distortion is in there as a buffer just in case PS goes down and you cant get it back up immidately (<3 Rockshots). I dont think Blessed Sig is needed on this build because 9 nrg every 10 seconds isn't really nessicary when you are getting +2 nrg every hit from eb & balth's spirit.

Replace distortion with Mantra of Resolve when farming in areas with interrupts.

Beats distortion 100x over.

Best way to farm (without using sec. profession at all) minotaurs :

16 Smiting
12 divine
9 healing
Rest in prot.

Blessed Aura
Mending
Essence Bond
Balth's Spirit
SoJ
Blessed Signet (Not really needed, but speeds up enchant usage at the beginning)
Breeze
Prot Spirit

Basically, Blessed Aura + 20% enchants grip should tide you through, so all the minotaurs die in one lengthy SoJ. This way you dont need to bother with Echo or anything.

You nailed it!!! thats what i use, and i never die!!!!! no need for all that extra stuff. Just use these skills! Also that this build also works for trolls, and for griffions not just minotars

Echo suuux against minos or grifffons, zealot's fire do this

Morann · Feb 24, 2006, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Why using echo? Use Blessed Aura + 18% enchanting. You won't have to cast SoJ twice, one will do the job
