The 55 hp monk was designed to farm and do almost nothing else (we have made it do other things, but it excells at farming).
I would like to point out that less than 2 pages away (and through the entire monk forum) are guides and other resources to tell you what a 55 monk can do.
If you want a demonstration, I would be happy to give you one this week.

(P.S. Tsunami, if you're reading this, we need to actually do a single mass sticky and somehow make it required to read...made of all the 55 monk posts and helpful information.)
There is a big sticky at the top of this forum and to the OP learn how to play the role as a Monk first.55ing get boring after awhile and play a Monk through the whole game properly.
read stickies please. if your question still hasn't been properly answered please post your question the 55 questions thread (pinned at the top of the page). closed.
