In a pressure situation, it's nearly impossible to keep building adrenaline on a Mo/W for Bonnetti's Defense. The balanced stance is nice, and Mo/W are really great in condition builds. I used to run ViM and balanced stance on my boon monk when playing for any KGYU-esque build or at least a build will a trapper+tainted. Mo/W is also great when solo monking, which I enjoyed, but don't recommend because of nuisances like blackout, diversion, and shame.

I think some guys in MH did vimway with a vimmonk, something I've always wanted to try.

You people are forgetting the magic of the backbreaker bonder. Once that dies, so does a little part of us all. A happy part.

I think earthshaker bonder would be better in a lot of cases, because the aoe kd is pretty good pressure.

Four second knockdown! You can't pass that up!

ViM monks are so much fun in heavy condition builds, even more so in HA with more peeps running around.

I dont run sups in GvG unless i have a really good reason to.
I might swap for a cast such as zealots but on a monk minors are ftw.
Yes a decent spike will rip through you with the -75 or not but that is assuming that they get a full spike off which vs a good team will often not happen due to pressuring/shutting down the spikers and that is where that +75 life can really be useful.
Cripshot is one of the only notable common builds that people tend to run sup's on.

armor ignoring spike set: shepherds armor, minor rune, +60 hp. makes about 625 hp (not sure)
max armor set: physical (+10) or enchanted (+10), presear sword (+5 al +5 al enchanted), one of my 10 vs any shields (blunt/slash/pierc etc etc) which can give you 98 armor in total on a caster

(although i mostly just use a +5 energy sword with it)
