55 hp monk w/o Shield of Judgement

I hate pve theres no way im getting all the way up to cap SoJ but when im bored I want to farm griffons, I couldn't find anything via search that looked reasonable is there anyway I can beat them without shield of judgement? They just run from balth aura+symbol, maybe zealots or something. Ideas?

Mo/N - Spiteful Spirit.

genious, thanks

It's capped somewhere in Snakes Dance I thought?

No, Spellbreaker is capped in Snake Dance. SoJ is in the Mineral Springs.

SoJ is all the way up on the arse end of Mineral Springs too. Do YOU know how hard it is to get a skill-capping group to go that far without mapping out on you once they cap their easier to find skill?

SoJ - Mineral Springs (found it easy with my monk + henchies since I had some control over the healing)

Spiteful Spirit - Snake Dance (easy cap)

Spellbreaker - Snake Dance (easy cap.....IF you get em to spawn)

M/N with SS would definitely help you take Griffs/Minos in replacement of SoJ. Bring ZF and if you want SoW for when they're low and you don't want to spend much nrg.
As you've discovered Balths + Symbol or either by themselves causes the mobs to break after 2-3max rounds of smiting dmg (aoe).

For some dumb reason I was thinking of Signet of Judgement, which you can get at snakes dance

I found henchies were more than suitable for doing mineral springs, especially only as far as the monk boss

Healing Breeze,Prot Spirt,Touch of Agony,Dark Aura,Putrid Explosion,Mending,Essence Bond,Balth Spirt

Healing 10
Prot 10
Divine 12
Death 12
Blood 3

At start Cast your Mending,Essance Bond,Balth Spirt,once u get to griffons cast your usally Prot Spirt/Healing Breeze Then Dark Aura and spam Touch Of Angony since u r only doing AoE dmg every 3 seconds cuz of the recharge on ToA is not enough to make griffons run away, Since your doing more dmg to the one your spaming ToA on hes gonna die first and once he does use Putrid Explosion and the rest will follow.. Although this does go faster with a N/Mo cuz u can get 16 death it still works well with the M/N

hey guys,
can anyone tell me how i kill monsters in uw??? i'm a 55-hp monk, but the aatxes keep running away so i don't do damage...
greetz

They are running from you because smiting is aoe dmg. You CAN still solo UW, but it's just too slow. Take a SS/SV necro with you.

While you should be able to cap SS in Snake Dance, it is far easier to simply cap it in Talus Chute. Two Azure Shadow bosses spawn right outside Camp Rankor in Talus Chute, Nigh Spinechill is the one you're looking for.

My Mo/N uses 12 Curses, 13 Healing and the rest just wherever I feel comfortable. I like a longer prot spirit, so I heavy up the rest of my points into prot. Skills are H. Breeze, P. Spirit, RoF, Suffering, Spiteful {E}, Essence bond, Balth's Spirit, Mending. I really don't use RoF all that much. Just when I aggro the entire freaking map and have about 9 minos and 12 griffons on me. I try not to do that though because I tend to be nervous about the whole 55hp thing. I prefer griffons in groups of 9 or less and preferably without minos on me too. If you want to kill everything on the map, aggro them all and plan to use RoF a good bit. I have heard that some use Zealot's Fire instead of suffering, but then you risk the "flee from aoe" response.
