New 55 God Build (all professions) Idea?

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but here's my idea for a new build that I thought would work, but maybe I'm missing something here.

What you need:
1. 55 Profession, any profession
2. Secondary profession must be Monk for Protective Spirit
3. Armor of Salvation

Steps:
1. Use Armor of Salvation because of this
"...and damage reduction of 5 for the next 30 minutes"
2. Cast PS and engage

Since you're a 55, you can not lose more than 5hp. However, that should be neglected because Armor of Salvation reduce damage by 5.

I understand degen will kill you, and thats why I have a monk hero using

[build]OwQTQmGD5AAAIl35f0UkyDA[/build] to add +7hp regen and +1 energy regen.

I need to do some more testing, but let me know what you think.

Thanks!

I would think that casting Protective Spirit AFTER you put the armor up would cause the -5 damage reduction to occur before the Protective Spirit damage reduction. Thus you would need Protective Bond, which means 3 Monk heroes following you, which means ****y drops.

Yea, the 5 damage reduction occurs before all effects, so if you have a lot of armor, or a lot of damage reduction, it won't do anything.

EX:
Foes do 100 damage to you.
Armor of salvation knocks that down to 95 damage.
You're using Protective Spirit, so that goes down to 5 damage.

Doesn't work, I remember trying this a while back and it didn't do anything.

Dervs can't do this due to +25 on chest. And yes, Armor+PS=Nogo with 55

Big probs id say.
Can a warrior be a 55 with 2 pips regen in an effective way ?
Oh yes he can use the nrg bonds but str8 away his low energy and regen will be a problem.
Can a derv 55 - nope as they can only 130 - built in +hp on chest so that screws no1 str8 away.
The only classes that benefit from being a 55 is monk , necro and if insane mes.
Also without you getting ppl excited you`d better say what all 55`s know - there isnt a huge amount of places to 55 farm compared to say 600/smite team of some sort.

Also another thing to note - 55`s are solo and if you need a hero to help you 55 then sadly your in the wrong game.
Sorry to say but this idea is bad and you`d think after 4yrs of gw someone would have already posted builds on the 55 all profs idea - check pvx wiki and on here if you think im wrong.
