A new 55 Monk

Hi,
Now can anyone tell me if this build actually work? Ive been wondering for sometime and havn't had the chance to check. This is a farming purposes build, and can maybe use SoJ, zealots...


1. Protective bond
2. balthazars spirit
3. essence bond
4. mending
5. reversal of fortune
6. Channeling
7. arcane echo
8. SoJ

Atributes

healing 6+3
protection 9 +3+1
Smiting 11 +3
inspiritaion remainder

You wack on skills 1-4. Aproach the group of melee fighters, griffons, trolls, hydra...and gather the group. cast channeling to start stealing energy every time you cast a spell. when you take damage you should lose 3 energy and regain 2, so channeling is essential. Cast AE then SoJ and cast echo'D SoJ when echo form is near end of duration. Cast RoF to steal say 6 and lose 5 spam this and your enegy should stay up. Alternations like Swapping AE for Blessed sig may also help.

Whats the point of this build? A different thing to try and maybe a new way to farm . with zealots fire in there you should probably not spam RoF or the enemy will flee....











Edit: THIS BUILD WONT WORK SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME

A good attempt but have a look at Tsunami Rain's guide on 55'ing and you will have everything you need to kill

To be honest.. this wouldnt work. UNLESS your enemy was using a conjure spell [skill]Conjure Frost[/skill].

Protective Bond = Nerfed to uselessness.

^^
Need conjure on enemy + mantra on self to keep energy high enough

Have a look @ Tsunami Rain's 55 monk guide in the Farming section.

This could still work, with the golden eggs, it is possible to get to 18 protection, which allows you to farm with prot bond like back in the old days.
