my way of mo/w soloing after update

yes but wouldn't glads defense ruin the point of SoJ? because it's to block attacks but soj is when you are hit? just a thought but i think glads defense would make using soj at that time useless nope it shouldn't glads will block it but SoJ sez it works when anyone is striking target allie so it should work at the same time even when u don't take dmg :O

thats lame, the description on the sites sez "anyone striking target ally with an attack " but i can see it can be taking to ways striking as in hitting them/or striking as in trying to attack them. yup striking=hitting, and taking glad's def, could be a good thing, in a 3monk group one doesn't need to take soj, and you can use the gd inbetween cooldowns, tho id say take 2 monks and a n/mo, pref. curses.

Nightmares are pretty easy you can wand them to death before they get rend off since it has a 3 second cast time. Or run and recast prot spirit once they rend and then put your enchants back on.

If you don't want to take the time to solo then the best suggestion I can make for you it to get a necro/mesmer to come along. archane eco and spiteful spirit does so much damage. Mark of pain works pretty well if the tank monk carries a sword. with the smites have the necro echo desecrate enchantments rather than spitefull. If he can get mark of pain on one of them and cover it with parasitic so it doesn't get removed you can kill the group pretty fast. they have raised the level of nightmere to 18
I doubt you can kill it in 3secs...

And while u turning away from nightmere and try to recast it, you might be killed since aatxe runs so fast...

Actually, i have invented a new MO/ME build, but still not quite used to it...
Died a lot cuz forgot to maintain protect spirit, mantra of resolve or even interupt the wrong target (doh!!)...

essense bond, bal spirit, mantra of resolve, arcane echo, SOJ, healing breeze, power drain, protective spirit

power drain to stop nightmere from casting, mantra of resolve to prevent being interrupted (drop the EN cost to 4), use arcane echo on SOJ so you can cast it twice....

no mending, jsut heal breeze to keep u alive, it should be alright if u fight one group at a time...

Can anyone help me to test this build and discuss its weakness? I have already wasted 30k to test it (doh!!) Or anyone can just kindly tell me any more efficent way to kill nightmere with Mo/W build? thx...

i normel run and they strip my enchaments and die and i put up protective sprite

but Mark of Subversion would work wouldn't it? yes it would, but mo/nec has no skills to prevent u from being interrupted

it would be a pain in the ass when facing aatxe and grasping darkness

well after the update i must say i was quite frustrated, i mean i cast balths and they run away and come back.. wth? do they wanna die or not? lol but anyways this build is similar to other builds minus the AoE dmg and ways of inflicting other damamge the skills for this are as follows: Bonetti's Defense, Protective Spirit, Cyclone Axe, Shield of Judgement, Healing Breeze, Essence Bond, Strength of Honor, and Mending the attributes are 13 healing, 12 smiting, 9 prot, 9 divine and 9 axe, and 3 tactics if i remember correctly but you cast your mending and essence bond and strength of honor, and you run in cast prot and healing breeze then hit cyclone and bonetti's and basically spam those two for damage and energy regain. sure it may take a little longer but not as long as them running out, and in, out and in. this has been tested to solo hydra's, griffon, and minotaur. and sure UW can still be solo'd we do it with 3 monks now, all 3 carry shield of judgement and just put it on one after the other again, sure it takes longer but as soon as an ecto drops woo hoo any comments/suggestions on this build are appreciated Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't Balthazar's Spirit ALWAYS preferred to Essence Bond? After all, you're using Bonetti's and BS gives you adrenaline as well. Not to mention BS gives energy from any source of damage.
