Note: I had made a new thread for all the Rt/Mo 105hp VwK builds that i had made due to the title of this one. So, now people will know it aint just for Zehlon Reach farming.

Please don't make replies here. Go here for new and updated thread of builds, with different title.

If anyone can close this thread that would be nice. Also, sorry for making a new post, bought I thought it would help people know exactly what the thread was for. The old title most likely threw people off, and probably didn't bother to check it out.

Spectar · May 06, 2007, 04:16 AM // 04:16

Shielding hands works just fine with prot spirit, just make sure you cast it after ps.

Wow, this is pretty sweet. I believe I posted something like this in a poorly done solo monking guide a while back. Either you read it (no one did) or great minds think alike. Pray for the former, friend, because I am no genius.

dark_slayer · May 06, 2007, 08:59 AM // 08:59

This build is sweet and fast, i tested it in various places. All in hard mode.

Minotars out side Ice Tooth Caves (easy)
Kirin out side of Mattu Keep (easy)
I did a entire tour of Plains of Jarin
Termites, Spiders, Fanged lgoba, Skales all are ez
Luxon Assassins in the quest The Halcyon Job (easy) even killed the boss
Corsairs in Zehlon Reach (hard)

ReZDoGG · May 06, 2007, 11:50 AM // 11:50

Yeah, I am liking the build more and more I use it.

ArKaiN · May 06, 2007, 09:39 PM // 21:39

how exactly did you manage to put Blessed Aura in a Rt/Mo build? Did you hack the servers?

TSS · May 06, 2007, 09:52 PM // 21:52

think this would work with an E/Rt?

Um... he bought the skill from a skill trainer. And he dragged it onto his skill bar... that's it.

k. Read this:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Blessed_Aura
Then this:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Divine_Favor
Then this:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Primary_attribute

EDIT> Btw, tried the build, and it does work. Its nowhere near as fast as any of the usual 55 builds, but it does work.

I dont think you get it, Although a Rit doesnt have the attribute Divine Favor. He can still buy skills from that attribute but he cant put any points into the attribute. So he can only get 10% longer enchants.

Also, this is quoted directly from one of the links you posted:

Quote:

Divine Favor is the Monk primary attribute, meaning that only a character with Monk as their primary class can put points into this attribute.

It says nothing about using skills from that attribute if youre not a primary Monk.

If you think a 55 soj is faster then a 105 rit, you are crazy. Just to prove my point heres videos of me killing the same mob with a rit and monk.
105 Rit 1:08
55 SoJ 3:47

But 55 monk is more flexable when it comes to interupts and knockdowns.

This adds up to like 1.8 seconds of prot spirit, one second of Healing breeze and nothing else.
EDIT: I did word it badly though
BTW: You're right, it does farm melee easier than a SOJ 55 (nowhere close to an SS/haste build). Now go try it on dragon moss on HM and see which is faster.

And this build aint for newb farmers, its a bit more difficult than monk in some farms, others is jus plain easy and very quick.

Just saw this, and it gave me a great laugh.
One, a 55 run on Reach takes like 3 minutes if you know what you're doing(and I do)
Two, this build is EXTREMELY limited in therms of places you can farm. Heavy degen will destroy you, or slow you down horribly. Get knocked down while activating VwK, and you're left there standing hoping you dont get hit too much. There are other problems but I'm not here to point them out.

"This build is too difficult"....bah. Boasting "this build I came up with today" is plain better than time-proven builds is presumptuous and ridiculous.

lennymon · May 07, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I've always been a big fan of the restoration line for healing... think it's possible to think out of the box and ditch healing prayers? My guess is you don't need healing breeze when VwK is up because of all the healing you get. How about resilient was xiko for when VwK is down and watchful spirit would work fine, or hell even vengeful weapon instead of mending. No real reason to change it, it just seems silly to spec out when you have 16 in restoration...

ReZDoGG · May 07, 2007, 04:57 PM // 16:57

Uploaded some new videos with some phat tunes. check em out.

For high degen areas you need Healing Breeze and Resilient, such as farming Zehlon Reach. Other wise when VwK wears off you will die pretty quickly... 2nd build is for areas without degen if thats what u talkin bout. If any Degen occuring you still could die with VwK on. Try it out and see for yourself

TedTheDead · May 07, 2007, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Nice. I have always stuck with the vengeful echo strategy but this looks pretty fun. Have not tried to take on any Corsair (too busy trying to get a perfect dead bow) but I may give this a whirl.

Bruce Leeroy · May 07, 2007, 07:04 PM // 19:04

Ive done Zehlon in hard mode with normal armor and a typical arcane echo/vwk + physical resistance build. Resilient weapon alone is almost enough to counter all that degen. I only attack one group at a time which yeilds a higher drop rate for me at least. By the third VwK, the only one left is the healer in the group who goes down pretty fast while I spam vengeful weapon.

edit: Its not that hard of a run. Looks like overkill on the healing side.

heh, was just speculating... I already have a 55 nec and monk so I can't justify the armor outlay (yet). I also use spirit bond alot on my 55 necro, it counters degen nicely and when you are getting beat on it's quite spammable. Only real reason I brought it up is even on my necro I run without healing prayers quite often and [wiki]Insidious Parasite[/wiki] is my only lifesteal, granted it can be maintained 100% though. With higher degen I do admittedly tend to run HB though. I was just trying to think of ways to make it even easier via fewer att lines, thereby making the prot spells better.
