Dual SB Monk build Fast! Duo UW Fast!
Archaic Nightmare
I met up with a random monk last night with my necro and he suggested we tried this so I duly switched chars to my monk and set off. A quick trip to Drok to kill the trolls and anything else that dared approach then off to the UW. I took SOJ as my elite for the coldfires but only them. This really took away from the monotony of the 55/SS runs i have been on of late and also takes away from ther risk of dying too early. The build works sublimely and was so much fun to play even tho I was the holy smiter. Major props to the folks that created it and thanks for posting for us all to abuse :-D

Well the video is curently being verified:S so u have 2 w8 a bit longer.
moko
right, ive tried this out now as well, and finally got the clue :P
me and my partner are using the exact same build from the starting post, and can clear the chamber without any problems (including terrorwebs), as well as the coldfires & smites. hooray. we didnt come across to trying out the obsidian behemoths so far, since my partner accepted the quest with the mindblade spectres by mistake. funny enough, we actually killed most of them til they chased after me.
's really fast as well, and the best, it leaves room for error.
certainly a very good build:P gonna try out more today

i can view it, but it has such an awful quality, its hard to really see anything. <<
and i just tried again today, we got past the obsidian behemoths. 's pretty easy as long as the tanker keeps interrupting healing spring and the holy smiter stays out of range so natures renewal (spelling?) wont affect him/her. tanker has to turn blessed aura off to manage the energy.
my god, we even managed to kill the mindblade spectres. until i once again messed up and aggroed a group that appeared out of the nowhere.
btw, my partner uses shing jae armor with extra health, offhand with +30 health, major vigor and my vital blessing +189.
on a sidenote, i run:
Smiting: 16
Prot: 14
Divine: 9
besides, the video really isnt needed. its exactly like 55/SS, just that you need to cast elemental resistance now and then, and turn holy wrath off to get energy back up to kill the coldfires & terrorwebs.
GL to all that are going to try this out. =p

Have I said somewhere that I need a video, knowing that I've been running a variant of this duo monking build even before the first post of this thread...
But if anyone else need this video, it seems to me obvious that it must be of a better quality, or it is not worth it imo...

Exile Of Heaven
Well the solution is 2 take Frenzy in stead of Ele Resistance, but then in the beginning u have 2 tank the squidies together with the aaxtes.
As an advice: Coldfires do not drop Ectos i think , and stay in a mealstom if u got frenzy on u 2 get u healed and reload ure energy
wich a 55 has problems with.
Also: uploading a new video atm at File Front

you might have misread it, but the problem with the coldfires is NOT to stay alive. its to kill them. however, tsai suggest to take backfire, which i now run, it works wunderful.
Dom: 9
Smite: 15
Prot: 13
Divine: 7
with a good timing of spellbreaker & backfire they go down pretty quick now. not to forget the soj in between.
on a sidenote, they might not drop ectos, but some people like taking them out anyways, just in case it might go something wrong and the holy smiter ends up in danger, in which you best end up fighting, and in order to reach certain group of smites you need to kill them anyways, or at least dodge, which can be a risk.

Yup any Elementalist (Coldfires/Dryders) just managed to live from casting spells therefore constantly getting healed from Aura of Restoration :/
moko
Shield of Judgment will kill them, as i posted above, backfire will make it work faster. the monk with SB uses SB to stop them from casting & healing during sojs and backfires recharge, that should stop them. just remember to cancel holy wrath (maybe the other one as well, the smite one, forgot name :x if that isnt too fast with the energy, but blessed SHOULD do the job, really, it should:P) so you get energy for the spells again.
another edit:
if this didnt help, feel free to whisper me IGN (name over there <<<), say that you are from guru and ill try to help personally. (can explain in german as well =p)

SoJ was the one skill we was missing at the time and guessed this is what would take them down. We cleared the Smites and Aatxe's no problem but had to dodge the coldies. Other than that this is a good solid setup and much easier than a 55 to tank. Good work.
Mister Muhkuh
yeah ty, id like to do this build, coz it makes it a lot easier for me (i usually did the necro part )

I've did both the holy smiter and ss necro several times now, but I still find SS necro is much faster and more efficient. holy smiter can maybe outdamage 1 SS (41 or 37 damage), but when a necro puts 2 ss (or even more) on aatxes, SS will do a lot more damage then holy wrath + retribution, not to mention putting other skills on them like recklesss hate, descrate enchants etc.
But the spirit bond monk still is nicer than 55 in tanking melee guys.
Btw, did u guys complete the ice king quest (where terrorwebs spawn in waves of 4*6 )?

Ive tried this a few times now, however I have difficulty with killing ele's, ie, Im severely limited as to which quests can be done (only done the soul escort thing)...
have u guys worked up a decent way to say, do the servents of grenth quest?
its a nice build, definately easier to use and probably faster on typical smite runs, however 55/ss does have more flexibility with quests (not saying its easy, its hard, yet doable)

Well we havent done much quests yet in UW, and with the festival now, were not much in UW........ so for what i know that u can clear most of the UW with our build. Chaos Planes, Twin Serpent Mountains.. and so on.
Escort the Souls = sertainly doable, its even easy.......
Only Wrath of Spirits will not work here........ so Spider runs can only be done by a 55 with ss sv
Ice King Quest = still not tryed....... so we have much work 2 do

We tried Ice King last night. I had to keep moving though since at one point had at least 10 meteor showers upon me. I lost agro and they went after the other monk. I tried to chase it to make sure i could PS the other monk. New Terrorweb Dryders spawned though and ran off towards the Ice King. Game over.
Killing spell casters is alot slower than an SS. But melee type fighters die quicker. It's nice to be able to tank lots of mobs at once. Clearing the chamber at the second part I try to agro as many melee type mobs at once.

Yes!, becuz the aggro u can have is unlimited, u can aggro any number of mobs in the area, this is so great about this build. a 55 build has 2 recast 2 gain hp from DF wich i dont.........
But still indeed ]SK[ u are right about the spellcasters taking longer then ss:S

errm, is the video in File Front rdy ?
the tim
this is how me and my friend do it (it goes WAY faster than all the other builds especially 55. we did abt 20 full runs in a couple hrs)
Mo/Me
spirit bond
ps
spell breaker
elemental resistance
power drain
essence bond
balthizar spirit
rez
Mo/Me
holy wrath
retribution
life attunement
Vital Blessing
Signet of Judgement
Blessed Sig

first of all, exile is my hero, we too you idea for a dual monk build and did a lot with it (we'll post our results soon) i would like to make a suggestion to this build, however, since the original build had the tank use balth spirit and the smiter with an extra skill, i might suggest that the smiter take balth spirit and the tank take a rez. I would also like to draw attention to someting i noticed while using the tanking build. For one reason or another, if you have less than 610 hp and you have ps and spirit bond up, you'll still get healed, I believe that this is due to a sort-of order of operations thing in which the game calculates the damage for spirit bond before reducing it from ps, I'm sorry if any of these things have already been posted, it's late at night, and this thread has gotten pretty long
lord of shadow
i've been looking to try this for some time, i have 55 experience in uw and was wondering if anyone needed a partener?
