55 is still a very good monk build, if you are dualing or soling that is. If you are in a party and you are not the tank, then you would be better off with high hp and a standard WoH build. If you plan on going into UW with a SS then stick with the 55 build found in wiki.

it still works, though when u enter solo, monsters show some antifarm behavior. when they get low on health they are gonna regen health at the edge of the aggro circle, this especially happens when there are individuals from multiple groups. In single groups i dont see this behavior. Just chuck a spear and they will return so u can punish them with aoe again. I cast aoe spells (instant damage) less then 3 times per seconds (ancestors rage and spirit rift i think). Obviously when u have a lot of monsters, getting them to return to your aoe might be quite difficult or tedious job.

it's not that 55 monks have been nerfed(well AoE scatter effects them as well as nukers and other builds) it's just that there are better options now, Ele Earth tank, 600 hp monk, VwK rit, etc but 55ing is still a viable option

55 is a type of monk, not so much a build. I have 12 differnt 55 hp builds that i use..(or more) everything from mo/me mo/n mo/w...all kinds of stuff. And you can still farm, hydras are good, dragonmoss, undead,dijinns, lots of stuff can be soloed, and UW still works fine with a SS..Join a guild with some 55 monks allready in it and learn the ropes...Cheers

55-monking is also useful for stuff like Dead Sword farming, Icy Dragon Sword farming etc.

The 600 HP monk build actually isn't that good. I call it the poor mans 55 build.

This page has a 600 HP monk build. Basically, you use very low AL armor and Spirit Bond so that every hit does 60+ damage to you and you get healed every time it lands.
