Alright, iv done alot of calculations, and i think (and hope) i have come up with a pretty good build made for farming and pvp. (Please feel free to leave ANY comment...even if it sucks :P, although it would help if u could tell me how to improve it)

Mo/ ? (doesnt matter)

I'm not sure of the attributes exactly, but i know i will specialize in smite and protection with a little divine favor

and now the skills:

1. Zealots Fire- for damamge
2. Reversal of Fortune- Protection as well as 'activating' zealots fire
3. Protective Bond- only 5% damage? Im down
4. Essence Bond- To gain mana, lets face it my mana regen is out the window with this build
5. Balthazar's Spirit- again for mana
6. Balthazar's Aura- More damage
7. Smite- damage
8. Blessed Signet- not sure how helpful this spell will be, perhaps replace with rez?

Alright well that's it plz critique your heart out (probably need it anyway)

I tried a similar build but the "kill the monk" attitude just means you get spiked, poisoned, hamstringed, choked, knocked down, bled, set on fire, frozen and laughed at afterwards.

Try it, you'll see.

You can even call yourself "Smite monk" and everyone still comes after you. It gets goddamn annoying.

id say reversal of fortune would be kind of useless considering you only take 5% damage, so if you were to reverse the damage youd only gain 10% health and as you wont have that much energy considering you only have 1 energy regen and youll only be getting 1 energy per hit max, so may as well add an actual healing skill and id probably switch smite for a res in pvp, even if you can take on the 4 players on the other team youll still get called a noob monk and such for not bringing res, but all in all bringing that type of build to pvp is a pain, mass disenchant and youre dead

hmmmm, well i do have a character that i like for PvP (my N/Me), so perhaps should i throw the PvP for this guy out the window and make him a pure farmer? if so what changes should i put in? because i just realized protective bond drains mana each time im hit.....
