I've seen people running people through Time for Heroes and killing the great destroyer. I've seen many builds, but I'm mostly concerned with the monk. Does anyone know the build?

It is a Mo/Me or a Mo/D. I've seen both variants. Knockdown is a problem though, you should zone until there are no hammer warriors at TGD

Mo/Me

Prot spirit, HB, 2x Visage, Illusion of Pain, Mending, Balthazar's Spirit, Essence Bond.

You basically kill him with -9 degen.

Rezone if there are destroyer of deeds with him

I would use blessed aura instead of essence bond.I wonder if [skill]Illusion of Pain[/skill] is a regular skill.

You'd run out of energy if you dont use balth spirit + essence bond.
You need to renew HB and PS almost as soon as they recharge anyway for the DF health bonus.

No I wouldn't as Balthazar's Spirit is all I need and you as well Essence Bond is sort of the old school.It was never need in the first place as Blessed Arua keeps up your enchants more.

Only the monk enchantments. Illusion of Pain and the visages will still drain your energy.

...By using them. And you missed my point with blessed aura. It only makes your monk enchantments last longer, and you will (in HM at least) use them on recharge for the DF bonus to keep you alive. And when you need to spam 10e skills that often I'd use both balthazar's and essence bond. I did it on my first try in both nm and hm with this build:

[skill]Protective Spirit[/skill] [skill]Healing Breeze[/skill] [skill]Ancestor's Visage[/skill] [skill]Sympathetic Visage[/skill] [skill]Illusion of Pain[/skill] [skill]Mending[/skill] [skill]Essence Bond[/skill] [skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill]

Be sure to reapply Illusion of Pain before it run out or it will heal him.

EDIT: Attributes were
6+3 Divine Favor
7+3 Healing Prayers
9+3 Protection Prayers
12 Illusion Magic

I wasn't aware of the visages as I don't use them but is it possible to cast just one at a time.It may not drain you energy fast but if you did have blessed aura for Protective spirit alteast it will last longer.

Visages prevent TGS from using a skill from spawning more destroyers and the hammer warriors wont be able to use their knockdown skill.

I dual run it with a hero , since this isn't about drops or loot and you rarely get 7 people it's even easier

Me: prot=16 ill=12 divine=rest
protective spirit
shield of regeneration
sympathic visage
ancestors visage
illusion of pain/conjure nightmare
phantom pain
essence bond
blessed aura


Hero: heal=13 or higher divine= rest
blessed signet
mending
balthazar's spirit
watchful spirit
succor
holy veil
-2 optional-
