Pure monk 55 build

Hey, gj on the build. Do you think its worth it if i make a 55 monk? do you think that they can nerf 55's again? Other people opinions are welcome too. Ive seen so many 55 monks...i thought...why not? I'm pretty sure Anets going to nerf 55hp monks. The farming method is now way over used. I'm not against 55hp farming. Its the best way to make money in the game. But because so many people use it its not going to last. I think Anet may make protective spirit target other alley(which would ruin the spell as well as 55hp farming). Or they might make creatures run from SS and sheild of Judgement. Or they might make the -75hp you get from sup runes not count on protective spirit.

Anyways, If you want to 55hp farm you might want to make a 55hp necromancer with SS. The runes cost much less, and the elite can be capped in less than 10 minutes. Also they farm just about as good as a 55hp monk. If not the same. The only problem is they can't take balenced stance or bonetti's. But at least there easier to make. So if 55hp farming is nerfed you wasted 10-15k rather than 40-50k.

2. 55's were never "nerfed"
3. no because they were never "nerfed"


If you haven't been monking for a long time, I suggest not making it so soon.
