You can bet that will be taken care off in soon to come AI "update".
Anet's actions prove they are determined to stop mass farming and they will prolly succeed some day in the not to distant future.

Wait you said that it doesnt work on melee units because they scatter right? Couldnt it work in shiroken farm if you replaced it with one of the visages since technically you arent attacking and letting them attack themselves? im not sure if your build would work against the 4 groups outside of unwaking waters, but its starting to give me a beam of hope =)

"now you would think that with 135 hp you would take more than 5 damage. because if you take 10% outa 135.. its more than 10.. thus you would be taking at least 5 damage per hit... but with prot spirit and shield of absorbtion on you will never take any damage at all.. take it as you will.. i just call it an oprotunity."
Ive looked into the skill and apparrantly the 5 damage reduction is cumulative, it absorbs 5 from first attack 10 from second and so on...
I am not sure if this will reset each time the skill is cast but meh it wont make any difference only the first 2 hits will effect you anyway and mending would counteract that in 3 seconds or so, as long as prot spirit was permanently up.
Very nice find again man gratz on this and ty for sharing it with the community

Don't really need mending/healing breeze/etc. unless you need to counter degen. Usually the ~35-40 health you get from divine favor will heal up that little bit you do take.
Another good swap out you can do here, is go Mo/R for Serpernt's quickness, you can then have SoJ up for about a minute before it will drop (and just about everything will be dead by then.

For doing the Tusked Howlers outside Arkjok Ward, I've been using Prot Spirit, SoA, Blessed Sig, Arcane Echo, SoJ, Balth Spirit, Blessed Aura, and Mending - they remove stances, so no use bringing Mantra of Resolve, and with Arcane Echo, you can kill them without waiting for SoJ to fully recharge (Attys: 5+3 healing, 10+3 smiting, 11+3 prot, 8+3+1 divine) In two runs, came out with three golds, ~6 purples, and some decent runes (don't remember which ones offhand, but they merched for like 320 apiece).
Awesome, awesome build. You are teh win.

Sorry maybe i overlooked something, tanking is quite managable for a monk n warrior... Its the "easy n fast" killing part that hits farming hard. I don't know if this is any use to anyone...melee enemies will flee when they take damage from SoJ but if you are attacking one of the enemies it won't flee and this way it can be killed...then when it's dead you just start hitting another enemy and so on...

Ah, I was wondering why you had no energy regen with only 3 perma enchants on. I love those 27/-1 +30hp offhands (they come in handy in pvp too).

You are fantastic!!
I just tried it on Ice Imps and it worked perfect!
Although I would like to hear about some more farmable areas...
Greetz and again, good job!

Avicara seem to be easy to farm with this as well, only groups with no guiles in it.
as the ranger groups in the start of mineral springs.
nvm it seemed i couldn't take screenies because i didn't yet have proph installed on this pc
Btw you can also use watchfull spirit to get +2 health regen instead of mending

Very nice, too bad melee scatters from SoJ/other skills like that 
One question, does the damage reduction from SoA reset when recast?

is shield of absoption not something just like shielding hands? So people who don't own nightfall can use that skill?
stoop14
these places u are farming are they all in nightfall? Also could you give the names of the skills in order you have them on your bar so i can go and try and find them? And are any of them faction skills?(cause i don't have factions)
Jeremy Untouchable
I have been rushing my warrior thro so i havnt tried any new monk skills out yet. Dude i'm adding you to my freinds list. I will also test and give feed back on this build, question? why share, you invite nerfs.......lol, owell, gratz keep up the good work..out

Works very well thanks, made 8k atm at rockshots in thirsty river, taking a break because of the anti farm system.

Gets my seal of approval - nice build!
I tried:
Ice Imps = Easy
Rockshots = Easy
Sand Elementals = Easy
Trols = Ran like headless chickens.
UW = Not possible.
UW didn't worr for the same reason as the trolls... melee attackers run away to regen so it wasn't possible. Otherwise I like this invincimonk resurrection. GG!

Narutoscryed: Amazing work!
i found that replacing both prot spirit and mending (or w/e other healing u have) w/ spirit bond works very well (so far only against ice imps, but i'll post if it works elsewhere)
between shield of absorptions, spirit bond keeps u from losing too much hp, and after the dmg u are taking is reduced to 0, u still occasionally get a sb trigger (such as ice spear from the ice imps, at al 60) which isn't frequent enough to reduce it's effectiveness (i usually have it time out rather than have the 10 hit clause take effect) but still keeps u at full health. i have only tried it against ice imps, and i don't think sb will work against monsters that only hit for more than 60 dmg, or only hit for less, because then it'll either trigger too much or never trigger, but it works like a charm for ice imps.
this thought just came to me, i'm not sure if it's a good idea, but if monsters are never triggering sb u could swap one of your armor pieces for one w/ like 40 al, because then when that piece gets hit it'll trigger, but the al won't be so low that if u get spiked to death when that piece gets hit. just a thought, untested so far, but thought i'd post it.

i share for many reasons.. but mainly because myself alone will not be able to fully unleash the potental of what this build can do.. we as a comunity need to work on farming builds together.. and find the best possible way to farm whatever we can..
1 mind can only think of one angle.. and most often times gets beaten by anet.. but if a thousand minds all work together.. i think we can outsmart those guys.
and like i said in my first post... anet can nerf us all they want.. i for one will always get back up.

one question with this build is that it lasts for 8 secs max but it has a recharge of 10 sec and looking at some of the seen shots u look like ur goign to die when it runs out cos of to much dam, is this jsut my imaganation or do u counter it? and how?

the avicara ranger groups have a nice smokebomb effect with this build:

With Protection Prayers at 14 (which is where his original build had it and where I keep mine), SoA lasts for 7 seconds on its own; however, when coupled with a +20% Enchanting mod on your weapon and a 30% Blessed Aura, it actually lasts almost 11 seconds (if my math is right). So when SoA is about to recharge, just hit the button a bunch of times until it casts and you'll get continued coverage.
vagabond66
This is why you have to use Divine Aura. the 30% extra on enchant length with a 20% on the weapon makes it run out a second after the expiration. Its close sometimes but it works just fine.
I use the FFS to get a 10 faster recharge with a +12 20/20 Prot desert collector offhand and a lot of times its ready to go in 5 seconds.
Great build btw-
I made over 8K on in about an hour farming the Jade Brotherhood outside Vizunah Square Foreign quarter. (also got a some superior runes and a black dye)
Thanks

Explain how this "saved your monks"
Its cool and all taking 0 dmg..But it doesnt kill anything any more effectively than 13ing already did, except you can get alittle bigger mobs again now since the SB nerf >_<
Nice find eitherway though

to get your health to 135 all you really do is keep your old 55 monk armor that his 5 runes on it. then just get an offhand with +30 health.. i like the dessert collectors offhand.. because i also get 27 energy outa it..
as for the skillbar.. the skill that you think looks like reversal is actually sheild of absorbtion.. available in the nightfall campagn.

Wow, looks pwnsauce. So you really only take damage the first two or so hits and then it's 0 from then on out?
Yeah, props to staying headstrong and finding a way to farm even with the recent changes. I'm definately going to try this out as soon as I get around to bringing my monk over to Elona.
Also, I second whoever said, "Have my babies."
