has anyone been having problems getting the Shadow Monks dead since the WoH buff?

I can't get them dead at all! Am I doing something wrong?

You're using PVXwiki's cookie cutter build, I assume. Go Mo/Me as the 600 and bring spirit shackles, or even better Sympathetic visage. If you're careful, you can do abyssals without anti-KD. if you have Norn skills, you can bring I Am Unstoppable! if you can give up a second slot.

With SV you just run into the mob, take the melee to the Monk, and let damage whittle them all down a bit until the monk starts, then stops, spamming heal area. Once it does that, it's really low on energy so hitting SV and having that keep him down at zero, then start wanding the monk for added pressure. He'll go down. I've killed the 4 monk group in the crater before the update using this method...and that would be harder than a single monk after the update.
