Good Ole Death Squad

I know you're probably gonna say "use search" or "search harder", but I did. I tried every possible combo, 55hp, 55hp monk, monk wand, 55hp monk wand, etc.

Anyways if you aren't going to flame me with a message with search in it, can you please tell me what 55HP monks use for wands?

Use wroths

A bit of searching may have brought you to this in which you can find this:

You will also need a customized, max damage smiting rod (req. lvl 10 or less) to kill Dying Nightmares as soon as they pop up. Worth’s Holy Rod is a very good choice, as you get a neat casting and recharge bonus for Protective Spirit and it’s also cheap (you could find one for 5k or less in Deldrimor War Camp). You should be using the 55 hp build with two weapon sets: your main weapon with an enchanting mod and the –50 health offhand, and a smiting rod with the same –50 health offhand.

Don't use the FFS, use the Quest reward wand from Yak's Bend, 10skill recharge and 3energy^50..

I use an IDS with 20% Longer Enchant, cost an arm and a leg but works great. I had the FFS but prefered to either use Ivors or Gordacs.

my 2 cents.

a max smite rod like like the droks collector one with Halves skill recharge of Smiting Prayers spells (Chance: 20%).

and ffs with 19% or 20%, cast with ffs and use the rod to add to dmg and finish off any one stand alive. the 20% is a nice xtra.

My tuppence worth,

I've been using the collectors rod from droks for months. I've had no need to change to anything else.

I prefer the recharge bonus to enchants lasting longer, but my build may differ to yours, and I may be in different areas to you.

I find the smite one to be rather useless. The 20% recharge is cool "sometimes" but I like things that are more certain. So I use a simple sword of enchanting, simply to extend the things I do cast.

This may also be simply because I do not use Bath Aura or Symb of Wrath. With the way monsters respond to AoE now, I don't like wasting half the spell on them. Instead, I focus on extending my Shield of Judgement via another enchanment and via my sword. And you know, I find zealots fire to suddenly be very useful once more combined with shield

Cheers!

I use a fiery flame spitter with 20% enchant, if I need to wand anything to death I use a smite wand with +5 energy (enchanted) and 10% fast cast.

I switch between using a smiting rod, from the desert collector, and a zealous sword with 19% enchanting which I found. I have a clean Fiery Flame Spitter, just haven't come across any mods to put on it.

So, I'm new to the 55hp build myself and i was wondering where can i get a -50hp weapon because the cities of ascalon quest doesnt give that as a reward nowadays

if for some reason u go mo/me to tank uw and have 0 smiting, u can use one of the many holy rods (req divine, can quickly find a max req 7 or 8) that drop in the uw, off of smites.

i believe cities of ascalon does still give that reward, it just says "reward: grim cesta" instead of -50 health in the description. people just love to say it just got nerfed and then try to sell it
