Uhm.. Kaze..?
...
...
...
... Where is the troll farming build?

Here is the build i use:

1. Prot Spirit(11 sec)
2. Bonetti's(6 sec)
3. Healing Breeze
4. Shield of Judgment(50 dmg)
5. Zealot's Fire(35 dmg)
6. Blessed Aura(32%)
7. Mending(3 regen)
8. Balt's Spirit

I use the same build except Essence Bond in place of Zealot's Fire.

Derek: My Shield of Judgement doesn't last long enough to kill the trolls(Have a sword with +14%), so i need the extra dmg :P And if i don't cast Prot and Breeze too fast, Zealot's wont trigger the AoE scatter.

it does if you hit protective spirit than healing breeze. I usually just use zealots to space things out. But sometimes I change in sprint to get where I need to go here is my build:
Healing Breeze
Protective Spirit
SoJ
zealots
bonnetties def
blessed sig(may sub for sprint when needed)
balth spirit
mending

I like to use:

16 smiting
13 healing
rest is up to you, even the 13 healing part

Protective Spirit, Healing Breeze, Shield of Judgement, Zealot's Fire, Mantra of Resolve, Essence Bond, Balthazar's Spirit, Mending

I have a 20% enchantmentment mod but it works just fine w/o one. It kills in one round of SoJ, w/ the castings to trigger Zealot's spaced out enough so as not to trigger AoE.

Icrean · Mar 19, 2006, 01:21 AM // 01:21

Smiting-16
Healing-9
Divine Fav-12
Prot-whatever is left (10 i think)
Axe Mastery-3 (for Fiery Flame Spitter)

Mending
Balth Spirit
Essence Bond
Blessed Aura
Blessed Sig
Prot Spirit
Healling Breeze
Shield of Judgement

I know it doesnt account for interuptions or anything but i dont find that to be a big problem with the troll cave. And with 16 in smiting 1 Shield of Judgement takes them all out... barely ;p

i did a 55 monk and i followed the 55 monk guide,but on troll cave i die,i have on the breeze with +8 the mending with +4 and the proct spirit and they kill me!!!! what can i do!!??

heelp

fatpay · Mar 19, 2006, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Heres the build I use, I forget the attributes but i remember the skills.

Mo/E

Balthazar's Spirit
Essence Bond
Mending
Blessed Aura
Healing Breeze
Protective Spirit
Aftershock
Sheild of Judgement

My mending is at 3 and Smiting Prayers are maxed out at 16 with rune and hat. My Earth Magic is around 6-8 so aftershock will do decent enough to make sure they all die with one SoJ. I'm also thinking about using Crystal wave because it ignores armor, but may not get the same damage as aftershock when they are all knocked down from SoJ.

If you have points in divine (which you should have like AT LEAST 7-9) then spam heal breeze and prot spirit....

And when SoJ recharges or whatever use it again, it's an enchantment so it will get the divine favor bonus

Another skill you could add is Reversal of Fortune, quick cast full heal.

Akiles: It took me a while to farm the trolls with succes. Just keep trying and you will make it.

Rogier · Mar 19, 2006, 08:30 PM // 20:30

what about this one ?

1. prot spirit
2. healing breeze
3. spiteful spirit
4. zealots fire
5. guardian
6. essence bond
7. baltz. spirit
8. mending

you just cast zealots fire then cast SS on a troll to atomaticly lure them, cast PS, then they'll take damage, then when SS did some damage and is gone use healing breeze, prot spirit and guardian to shatter them because of the AoE, then cast SS again on 1 of the fleeing ones, just continue doing this until they're dead

sorry i misunderstood the post.

Lord Omnipata · Mar 20, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

Akiles (and other 55 noobs such as myself ) -- I just started 55'ing today and learned the following real quick:

1. Never let Prot Spirit go down. Ever
2. Keep HB up at all times. Ok against small grps, but against a lot you must have it up.
3. Recast Prot Spirt and HB if you're still not keeping up health, div fav bonus will save your life.
4. Getting your must have skills interrupted? Mask them with Bonetti's -- works like a charm.
5. If you don't have an enchanment modded sword or axe, I highly suggest it. I chose the Flame Splitter from the collector S of Serenity. Added a 19% enchant axe grip for 9K and I'm good to go. With Balth's Aura (I think?), enchantment last roughly 50% longer with high enough Divine favor.

All this is posted in the various guides, but those are the "must do's" at first as you're learning. It's not as hard as it looks, just keep at it. Cerb's/Sno's/Everyone's threads here explain it really well, just takes practice.

_Akiles_ · Mar 20, 2006, 07:52 AM // 07:52

ahh ok thanks,i didnt know that i had to use spirit and breeze all the time for healing myself with divine bonus

and what is the best for powerleveling? because i use soj and zealous fire and they all die quick but if i am powerleveling with zealous they run away and they will kill the other guy xD

Bloodied Blade · Mar 20, 2006, 11:35 AM // 11:35

If your enchantments are running out too fast consider running Blessed Aura...

I run BA on my protection monks (non-boon) because it ends up saving me energy.

LightningHell · Mar 20, 2006, 11:50 AM // 11:50

I would fork out at least 6 levels for Prot Spirit...
