Good general 55 build?
Pariah 69
Hey, I realize this is a probably a massively broad question, but I'm in the process of making a 55 monk. Anyways, if any one has a good basic build or any idea of where I can start to make my own, please enlighten me. I know a couple of the basic skills - SoJ, Protective Spirit...Meh, all I can remember. Anyways, again, I know this is a very broad question, but please post your thoughts if you have any...Thanks for your time!

The basic skills are generally Prot Spirit, Mending, Healing Breeze. Balthazar's Spirit, Essence Bond, Blessed Signet are generally used for energy management though you usually won't need all three on a skill bar at once. For damage SoJ is preferred but not necessary. If you're going to use it, a good suggestion is using Aftershock from Ele secondary since it causes extra damage when an enemy is knocked down which will happen often with SoJ in use.
There's guides to 55ing on these boards so just look around or someone can post a link.

Yeah, I'm using Balth Spirit, Mystic Regen, Shielding Hands, SoA, Prot. Spirit, and Blessed Aura for passive skills. For damage-dealing, I use SoJ & Symbol of Wrath. I've been using this combonation for a couple days now, and it seems to work alright. Mystic Regen is, IMO, much better than Healing Breeze & Mending. As for posting in the right forum...I never seem to get it right, meh.

Hi, Johnny Come Lately here to 55 monking, as in only did it 3am last night!
Had to ascend first though, as my monk hadn't been run to Drok's yet.
Just for fun (and as I didn't have scourge healing yet for that particular combo), I tried I-monking on my double.
As I had no SOJ, I used Retribution, Balthazar's Aura and Symbol of Wrath -- and I won, got the bonus too
Sorry if it's old news to everyone but I really wasn't expecting to win, much less get the bonus. But then again, the double wouldn't know how to correctly use the skillbar, so gg
Having capped SOJ now, I gave the I-monk a few spins in Elona Reach NM just to get the feel of it. with Balth Spirit and Blessed Aura only for e-management, I was having energy problems despite adding in Blessed Signet. Swapped out Blessed Sig for Essence Bond (thus -3 e-regen) but energy's fine now
any advice on sequence of casting the passive protective enchants? And any other areas I can practice? Thanks in advance for the tips!
I keep getting pwned by those dang undead at Gates of Kryta....
