balthazars aura
zealots fire
blessed signet
bonetties defense
mending
watchful spirit
balthazars spirit
protective bond

with it youll have a constant 5 health regen, so you dont have to worry about getting interupted and since you have 55 hp youll only be taking about 2 damage

No point of Zealots Fire in this build

ok the only thing that really bothers me about the mo/war build is that, i have cast the protictive bond with the +1 offhand so many times and have yet to see the 1 eng in the icon, its starting to get fustrating, i have sat for a good hours worth just casting it and have yet to see it acctually give me the 1 rather than the 2.

Do you also have 16 in protection without the +1 icon? There's almost no way it should take hours of casting to hit the 1 energy mark. The most I've gone in a row without hitting it is 10 or so and I've done hundreds of runs.

Makes me wish I had gotten into rune speculation.

You probably did not remove the old enchantment before casting the new one?

Have we yet died duo'ing our 20 minute smite runs Racthoh?

quick stupid question....does anybody take out the coldfire nights too or are they not worth the time?

The eater of souls quest seems the hardest because he is a necro and strips enchants so although you can kill the dryders quite easily when you get on to him the invulnerable ataaxes are still beating on you while he strips your enchants. Ideas?

Well, the Wrathful Spiritis quest is quite easy to complete, although the chest item is usually crap =)
I doubt the Monuments quest is doable solo as there are the dreamriders that will spawn mindblades (unless you manage to sneak by all of them), and spawning pool area is packed with many terrorwebs and charged darknesses, then there are all the obsidian behemoths that will eat your enchants the instant they recast nature's renewal.

The keeper of souls can strip your enchantments real fast, and once you aggro the invunerables, they will not disappear even if the keeper is killed until you die. (I had 8 of them beating up on me before even though the keeper was dead, and they only died when I died as well) So your only choice is to not get the invunerables on you, as teleporting to escape them when you're the only player won't work too well.

The mindblades beat up on my new souls faster than i can kill them, and the signet block and cries of frustration get annoying real quick.

glockjs - for me, colds are not even close to being worth the time

okay...couple of questions...

i have the armor you said, and the weapons, but i only have 39 energy. where does the other energy come from?

plz advise.

also what other rune do you use on your armor?

The extra prot point you need can be gotten with a +1 protection head piece. They can be crafted or traded for as collector's items.

yeah i edited my post...i'm a fool lol

i need to know what the extra energy is from and what other rune to use.

FFF_WarRaven · Jul 31, 2005, 12:15 AM // 00:15

yup 16 believe me i made sure and worked for a week straight to get this monk to ascention and a bit beyond and made sure several times i have everything correct, for some reason i just can't get the +1 out of a cast.

Vesuvius Stymes · Jul 31, 2005, 01:33 AM // 01:33

get the +1 protection head piece. also make sure you switch weapons when you cast.

Just thought you guys should know that someone's making a lot of money off of this technique:

http://cgi.ebay.com/GUILD-WARS-HOW-T...QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/GUILD-WARS-HOW-T...QQcmdZViewItem

I just noticed that he also has a quantity "Buy It Now" version of the auction for $20 apiece. Six people have already purchased that. That means he's already made over $100 doing this.

He was also selling a guild wars account containing a "level 20 warrior/monk!!!!", as well as a level 5 Necro. The feedback for the auction says that the level 20 was a PVP Character. What the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO. I really want to start those auctions now. Could I get in any trouble with my ebay account for doing this or anything?

20 minutes? It takes us that long?

I'm pretty sure that Ebay thing violates the EULA. And I can't believe people have actually purchased that guide. I think I'm going to cry.

miteethor · Jul 31, 2005, 07:00 AM // 07:00

This is too awesome - a full set of monk runes will run you about 75k now!! So glad I had mine before this thread started lol

sphinx · Jul 31, 2005, 08:38 AM // 08:38

Just wondering, do you need the ascetic armor for this or could you also do it with a regular monk armor set.

edit; never mind found the answer

Hysteria · Jul 31, 2005, 12:07 PM // 12:07

My gut tell's me to take advantage of this right now while we still can. I don't think it's likely this will be left untouched by the devs.

darkhorse! · Jul 31, 2005, 02:44 PM // 14:44

Will censors armor be good for this one because of the defence vs physical?

No as with 105hp and protective bond you will take 5% dmg a hit aka 5 dmg a hit. The Armor Value does not matter, you could have a set of armor from pre-searing and put the sup runes on and still only take 5% dmg a hit.

I hope that answers your question.
