Is fast casting really needed? To avoid interrupts......What about using mantra of resolve or even distortion? I would like to try as monk primary. Nice build BTW. George you're pretty much right, except not SoJ. I won't tell, I'm guessing that Dan wants you to watch the movie

Correct on the 55hp that doesn't work well.
600 health is not needed because spirit bond triggers before PS.

Monk/Mesmer works too but is a bit harder, mantra of resolve gets removed by those assassin's wild strike.

Im downloading the video now. Looks like a very nice way to get experience too. if that +464 xp is from 1 kill, then think about hundreds...

Well, its still a lot of XP without a double xp scroll. Anyway, about the download. It went about halfway then went straight down to 0 kbps. I ended the download, tryed doing it again, and it said invalid file. Try uploading it again? Or posting the build here?

health is not that important, as long as its not extremely low

the 2 slots are free to do whatever you want with, I didn't need them

Oh my god this is amazing.

I can't go very far, though. I can kill all the Shiro'ken up to the shrine, but anything beyond there kills me. No matter, I've already got two Golden Mauls and a crapload of white drops, netting me plenty of money.

No need for a video. It's really straightforward.

Standard Spirit Bonding build: lowest armor you can find, lots of health (I'm at 575), maintain Essence Bond and Balth Spirit, when you run into enemies spam Prot Spirit and Spirit Bond. Cycle Ancestor's Visage and Sympathetic Visage; the Shiro'ken Rangers' Famine spirits will make them kill themselves.

Look out for Shroud of Silence, but that's the only roadblock I can see, and if you time your PS/SB properly, it's no problem. If you're Monk primary, put in Mantra of Resolve to avoid those interrupts.

the shiro'ken rangers use famine which makes you take damage whenever your energy reaches zero. sympathetic and ancestor's visage causes massive energy loss on the shiro'ken, so they take damage from their own spirit . . .

hmm.. im not sure about raisu explorable. the mobs tend to have mesmers and necros in it. maybe SB might help? but that would need some points in divine favor to work.

worked fine on my monk after testing it for an hour.

Mo/Me
12 Illusion
12 Protection
3 Inspiration

Totem Axe is a must atleast because assassins will own you if you use a staff or wand.

Protective Spirit
Spirit Bond
Sympthatic Visage
Ancestors Visage
Mantra of Resolve
Balthazar's Spirit
Essense Bond

Cast Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit at the beginning. Before heading into them make sure you have 20 energy, cast protective Spirit and Protective Bond on yourself. Run all the way into them up to the last mob. After aggroing the last mob (you should have past alteast 2 mobs) move back next to where the rangers are standing that were following you from previous mobs. The warriors will move in to attack. Do this while maintaining Prot Bond and Prot Spirit. When the warriors get on you use sympathic visage and mantra of resolve at the same time then use ancestors visage.

If you still havn't figured it out then here it is. They die from the Famine doing 37dmg when they hit 0 energy. By the way the orginal poster's pic is nothing compared to all aggros on you... with both sympathetic and ancestors visage on you, you'll probably see something more close to 100 -3 energy in purple text ^_^.

Its a quick and easy farm averaging around 30 to 45 seconds per run.

i was having problems downloading that video so ill try to upload a video on youtube soon. given my crappy upload here it might take a while

EDIT: Crap i fell asleep next to my laptop at 5:30AM work in 3 hours!! OH!! noooooessss.... anyways im at work now so you guys will have to wait on the vid.... o yea one thing i forgot to mention is that you need to only wear Shing Jea Boots and Pants for energy regen and no top and gloves or head tatoos.

youtube good idea:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prCN-sRehQ4

The 2 e regen is nothing compared to the gain from essence bond and spirit, so no armor works too, then again 5 pieces of shing jea should work fine too. I tried to get the minimum in the movie so no armor and dont bother with 2 extra skills :P.

I still think mesmer>monk but I noticed lack of pve mesmers

wondering where else this build could be implemented with a mo/me and a famine ranger.

I'd really want to test it out in a the urgoz warren to farm the initial areas.
Maybe FoW is farmable with this also? Since if enchant is remove it can very quickly be recast... energy is no problem... probably have the famine ranger/rit with famine and shelter...

EDIT: Just had to show what the real pics looked like....two pictures were taken 2seconds apart... that was a 15^50 Golden Phoenix Blade xD
