Well, after experimenting for a while, I came up with an effective 55 build that can kill Sskai really fast.

I suppose most people know where to find him and how to reach him, avoiding the spawn of the onis. So, here is the build:

Mo/W
Healing: 8
Smiting: 16
Protection: 12 or 13
Tactics: 4
rest on divine and a couple of points to axe mastery.

Equipment: Take the -50 offhand and an crappy axe from monastery.

Skills:
Balthazar's spirit, Mending, Protective Spirit, Shield of Judgement, Holy Strike, Stonesoul Strike, Disrupting Chop, Bonneti's Defense.

After you pull Sskai, hit him with the axe a couple of times to charge your disrupting chop. Use bonettis a couple of times to start your attacks with full energy. Then cast soj (be careful of his distracting blow---it is easy to get familiar with the order he uses his skills). When he gets knocked down for the first time, hit him with holy strike. After he gets up, he will hit you and get knocked down again. Now hit him with stounesoul strike. This time he will try to use healing signet, so just when he gets up, use disrupting chop. Continue to hit him with stonesoul and holy strike when he gets knocked down. If you need energy, feel free to use bonettis (even if soj is still up---you won't need it anymore:P). Try to get his health to 15-20% because then he won't use his healing signet, if it is recharged by then of course.

As usual, keep protective spirit up at all times.

I usually kill him with no need to use disrupting chop again, but even if I have to, there is really no problem at all. It just takes another minute or so to bring him down.

Enjoy

Just found this while searching for some other stuff in the forums. I'd like to mention that new Totem Axe is tailor-made for this build.
