A very popular run is Ghial.

For bosses that are alone or have small mobs, u can use Mo/Me with Ilusionary Weapon (IW) or can go with Mo/N with spoil victory.

I think he is in the vortex which is the top left part of the last bit in NF (actually its a seperate map).
The skills above his bar are icons like trade etc, if you want them go on the menu click on trade etc then drag them out onto your screen and they appear as an icon.

Nice job on solo ur monk there by the way, trying to get myn thru too but no where near as far as you

I just got Jaynes Staff and it is awesome with this build. I usually farm Ice Imps and there is lots of times when there is one imp that just does not get damaged like the rest of the group. He ends up with almost full health when the rest have died. The staff can speed up killing that one last imp. Jaynes staff ftw.

Rite guys, ive got all the skills now for this build, and im wondering what runes do you use to get your protection prayers and smithing prayers up to 14 and divine favour up to 12 healing prayers up to 3 and inspriation magic up to 4, because i dunno how its done and i keep dying because i cant get mine the same as those

You need 5 superior runes in total - one of each attribute, and one duplicated.
It doesn't matter which one you duplicate as you won't get the extra att points since they don't stack, but you need this to get your health down low enough as well. With 5 you should be down to 105hp and with your offhand it will be 135hp.

BTW, complete noob to monk farming here and I tried this out and it's working great took a few tries to get the hang of maintaining the enchants but having fun with it!

Don't take it wrong, it's a good build but wouldn't counter the AoE spread right? They will run from SoJ right?

They would only run is a scenario like this:

6 or more Jade Brotherhood Knights (Warrior prof.) attacking you. They will run away. If there's just 3 of them, they stay.

If you're good enough, you can kill them before SoJ runs out.

Even though I have 5 runes, I only use 4. I also use a +hp staff that gets my total health to about 200hp. SoA does not work like the HB 55 hp monk where you are totally dependant on HB healing the damage. Here you only take a small bit of damage, and rest is all 0. Casting PS after that will heal you back to the max. The reason I prefer running 200hp is that I can farm enemies that causes degen. With 55 hp you cant.

Keira Darkwind is absolutly right, if the ice imps attack you they attack from range and dont run away, the same thing is with thirsty river mission.. i use more Smit attributes so i can kill them at once. but then i have only 6sec soa but it goes all okay. And look out for there traps, its possible that you die if you dont watch out

Okay I just finished readin all 16 freakin pages. Don't ask my why but I did.

I have never made a monk because I figure the only reason I would use one would be for farming, and that seems kinda like a waste to me.
Now, just looking at HOW the build works is making me want to lean in that direction. It is amazing how in that one picture, the guys were tanking upwards of 30 enemies, it is just mindblowing from a gamers perspective.

I thank you for the amazing build (yes I know this was posted 2 and a half weeks ago).

I hava an idea! this build would work great on ids so if u had illusion of haste instead of b sig would u be able tyo make it to mineral springs ice cave.Youd have to do some attribute tweaking but im sure u could make it. im gonna try this sum time but if u have done or do it plz pm me IGN Healer Pheona... i read more on this say u put 4 illusion in that gives u 7 secs of running stand there cast sum stuff to keep u alive (while waiting for recharge) and run sum more it wouldnt be the fastest way to get there! but once you are there is would be easy to solo.

I like this build... but.. This brings the same problem as every solo build... They run away. I'm finding that farming weakling enemies (such as the bugs outside of Yohlon Haven) is about the best way to make money now.

Well, I guess you could farm ranged enemys.

But.. how many of those are there that ONLY have ranged and drop good?

Trying it as I type, it works pretty darn well. Obviously it can't kill healing enemies, and it lacks the oomph to take out caster bosses as it stands right now.

The mending is necessary, as not all attacks seem to deal 0 damage...I don't know why that is.

Well it is only like the first 2 -4 attacks that deal dmg, and that is because the soa havent stacked the dmg yet. But that is covered if u cast a new monk skill to heal quite quick after using soa... soa stacks the dmg quite quick I regularily have no problem with the dmg stacking.

You have several options. Use divine favor to heal yourself by casting prot spirit or breeze. Some people bring sig of devotion. I myself bring watchful spirit, which negates some degen and offers a big heal when you need it (I run higher hp than normal).

For you buddy, perhaps this area called "ebay land", there is no comparison with trolls.

I noticed that Reversal of Damage wil deal the full ammount of damage even with Shield of Ab and Protective Spirit on. It applies the damage before all the other enchantments are considered. It is a good source of damage besides Shield of Judgement. I seems to make up for the lack damage compared to the Spirit bonding builds I use to run.
