Builds have been posted... lots of builds.

most of those builds are dead....
the ones that still exist suck. (can only be used for farming ranged mosters)
Yes you can pretty much say the 55 is DEAD. R.I.P.
I dare anyone to come in here and link me to working 55 build that can solo farm bosses for greens or solo bunched up groups... trolls for example.
Oh and that Mo/ele build sux... it's tedious and slow.

The 55 is not dead, but it's damn close.
Ranged mobs are about the only thing left to farm, but the good ol' days of Troll and Mino farming with a 55 Monk primary are history.
Elementalists are pretty much your best bet for farming these days. There are a few popular builds out there centering around Mist Form, Shadow Form and defensive Earth-based enchantments. The N/Mo Spoil Victor build is still very popular as well.

If you're l33t enough, you can solo/duo some DoA stuff. 55 Prot spirit covered with spellbreaker is the only solo thing that can stand up to that much damage, only other alternative is trapping some places (ie not taking damage at all)

I thought about using Spoil Victor in UW coz it doesnt do AoE dmg, so enemies doesnt run away (or yes?) Or what is the problem with 55hp SS uw-solo? Isnt the AI change? (I have never tried 55hp necro in UW)
Eldin
55 is dead, or at least close to being dead, basically. (So glad I refrained from making one and stuck with my ranger trap farming)
daraaksii
55's are simple dead. That's true.

aha.. why does everyone think 55 is dead? i just don't get it..
just cause you can't use SOJ anymore (proper) doesn't mean there are lots of working builds around..
i still use my monk for uw (duo, mostly with famine ranger) and some solo-boss farming (spoil victor ftw).. also the IW-scythe monk is quite viable..
farming melee monsters IS DEFINITELY NOT IMPOSSIBLE! you just have to wand them and they won't run away..
just stop whining around, just because you have to adept a bit (and maybe start thinking again while farming)

Dead, no. Ineffective, yes.

VERY ineffective. Kinda takes a large chunk of fun out of the game for a lot of players. Most would 55 just to take a break and kill time.
Senrath
it isn't ineffective for everything. the link I posted for the N/Mo 55 Spoil Victor boss farmer build works wonderfully. however, i'll concede the point that solo 55ing is ineffective for pretty much everything else.

Ya 55 are Dead.(R.I.P) the new Farmers now is SS/Spoil Victor Necros and Elementalists
Mesmer in Need
I beg to differ(sort of)
I still farm with my 55 monk farming undead in nebo tarrace. they drop many dyes, and gold items with usually good or great mods.
Also, everyone is so focused around farming with them. I used to run people with monk from warcamp to granite, and i got some good money.
I know there are some better farmoing builds out there, but the old standard is still alive.

i can still farm hydra's with my 55 but that is about all...
but the best builds are trappers in UW and E/A for boss soloing
but farming is soon to be history.... Anet is just nerfing everything we can come up with... its not fair!!!

Not as slow as the old SoJ/Bonnetti's 55, amirite?

i disagree with everyone who says that 55 monk farming trolls and such is dead... to this very day i can still farm the troll cave outside droks and even go as far as farming the tundra giants outside the cave a bit going up north... pffffft 55 monk dead!!?!?! they can never kill that 
traumacore
Invincible...55...will never die!
SoJ maybe now is useless...but u can do other way of farming...spoil, sliver, IW...
Never say goddbye to 55hp!

55 Monk Farming isn't dead.
Imagination among those that (used to) use it is.

I used to farm UW solo with a basic necro 55/ss build. That one is definatelly dead (for UW) now because rend enchantments casting time was decreased to one second. Can't kill the dying nightmares with two hits cuz your enchants are gone before you 2nd hit lands.
Oh well, guess I'll have to take my warrior.

I have to say, I used to be obsessed with my 55, but I don't use him all too much anymore.. I use my ele more than him because of the new builds that have been coming out, great boss solo builds, and you can kill way faster with ele, and you don't have to worry about spamming prot. spirit and HB, no enchants to maintain, etc.
55 isn't dead, but it certainly isn't the 'class of choice' anymore... A-Net has nerfed most of the 55 places, and the ones that haven't been nerfed have been nerfed by the players, meaning they farmed it so much it doesn't drop crap anymore (cough.. trolls.. cough...)

i will agree with that almost 100%... 55 definatly isnt 'class of choice' anymore but can still do plenty of farming and can continue to if ppl just try stuff out... if we all work together we can keep the 55hp spirit alive forever!!!

*pictures a huge rejoice of 55's, then the nerf bat hits a homerun* :P

Not dead at all....still lots of viable AND effective builds out there. Soloed tons of bosses with 55+IW+scythe, still efficient. If you can't come up with a good build, then sure its inefficient, but thats how it is for everything else..
Off topic: I get this idea that people think if you can't copy and paste builds to farm with, then that type of farmer is dead....

My monk as a 55 is not dead, I can still solo UW with her fast, even the Aatxes.
I use a Mo/Mes IW build, but I use a scythe to hit more than one foe at a time (up to three) and throw in some SV/SS, and your fine, that leaves 5 skill slots for the basic 55 skills (a.k.a Mending, Prot Spirit, HB/SoA, Balths, Essence...etc)
