if some people could post their 55 monk swords they use and why, I would greatly appreciate it.

Anything with an ~20% longer enchanted sword.... thats about all thats necessary. You can have the Furious mod too if you use Bonetti's.

HoD Sword or Fiery Flame Spitter are optimal. You can pick up the 10% FFS very easily (read: cheap/quickly) and add a 19% enchant mod for cheap.

Henge of Denravi Sword

+5 energy built in.

I put a 20% enchanting mod on it, and the other mod is up to you, if you play w secondary, use furious 10%.

The +5 energy can really open up doors pve wise, with armor selections not being based on mana anymore, because the HoD sword well makes up for it.

I use my FFS of Enchanting. Before getting that, I used to use a Furious Long Sword of Enchanting and if I wanted to look cool, a Furious Fell Blade of Enchanting (though it was 16%).

Not to brag or anything.... well..... maybe it is :P

This is what I use. And yes, the price is confidential.

Other than being "uber leet" aka insanely expensive... what purpose does that even have for a 55 monk (the sundering mod, I mean). Furious at least helps with generating adrenaline for Bonetti's...

Sorry but what are you bragging about..

You set this item up WRONG first of all..

Second of all, this item can be obtained for like 50g or what ever 3 loadstones cost... + the item mods, which again your sundering mod is worthless and a waste of money..

The cesta is worth like 5k at the most... so you have an item worth about 31k... WOW "UBER 1337" I THINK NOT

Here is how it should look, my very OWN:

Reckless Abandon · Mar 31, 2006, 02:31 AM // 02:31

Yeah, I was looking for just a 20% mod but I could not find one. So I saw this and bought it. I'll admit the sundering is worthless, but still......

I agree...besides..why use sundering in the first place?..

No...

The armor doesn't matter, you want the armor that gives you the most energy, the +5 en isn't that much when you have above 40....

AL doesn't matter when you have prot spirit! So why wouldn't you want the ascetics?

10% of Faster Skill recharge > +5 Energy.

I disagree.

Mana is far more useful than 10% recharge, because the +5 energy will save your butt far more often than the 10% recharge.

However, I would say go with the FFS when it comes to the budget factor.

It all depends, for 55 monking the FFS is better.. for general healing the HoD is better especially since i can put some sort of recharge item in my off hand spot..

Bloodied Blade · Mar 31, 2006, 11:16 AM // 11:16

I have to agree with Linsys on this one, 10% faster skill recharge > +5 en on a 55hp monk... if it was +10 energy, I would have to say skill recharge<+10e. Problem is mainly that on a 55hp monk, 5 energy isn't going to help you very much, whereas the 10% recharge will help you to (with a little luck) keep your defenses up vs most things.

baz777 · Mar 31, 2006, 11:45 AM // 11:45

Had the following:

1. IDS with 20% enchant mod (even out on my own I felt a bit silly with this after a while so sold it)
2. Fellblade with 20% enchant mod (I’m sure just the sight of this use to put the fear of God into those Griffs)

Now use:

FFS with 20% enchant mod

Lord Osi · Mar 31, 2006, 02:19 PM // 14:19

HoD sword with Furious 10/10 and with 20% is probably best or FFS with those 2 mods cuz of the skill recharge 10/10.

I myself use a Furious Chaos Axe of Enchanting. (Mainly for looks)
Max - req 8 (dosnt matter, Nor does any 15^50's
Furious 10/10
Enchanting 20%

Maxiemonster · Mar 31, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Do not argue about either the FFS or the HoD Sword being better, it's pointless, 90% of all people are too stupid to understand that 5 Energy doesn't add anything to a 55Hp Monk, unlike the 10% (or 15%) skill recharge.

And when it comes to the best item for a Protective Spirit build, it's the -20Hp Axe, followed by the 15% FFS, the 10% FFS and HoD Sword.
