Underworld Domination

Most of you have realized 2 of the 3 important things for the third player to use

1: constant spellbreaker
2: hard res

that covers 5 skills. You have 3 skills to cover:

a: energy management
b: the 3rd important thing

Come on guys, think. life bond with blathz aura duh am i right?

life bond with blathz aura duh am i right? no. interesting thought, but no.

no. interesting thought, but no. o darn ;0

Actually.. we do

Tank has 15 divine favor so blessed aura is like 35% I think? It lasts around 21~22 seconds if I cast it (measured by the recharge). If the other monk has a high divine favor and a +20% enchantment weapon, it's a permanent SB

I also use the +20% recharge holy rod so 1 out of 5 it recharges fast enough that I can keep it permanently on myself
Given how hectic the bone pits are, The overlap you get while using mimicry is priceless imo, that way you have very nearly a full SB spare, incase one gets interupted, or the monk doesn't have enough energy to maintain it.

Without mimicry your 2nd cycle gets very tricky, and the tiniest slip will cause SB to drop, which can't happen in certain areas.


As for not having 16 curses, I completely agree. Not having 16 curses is like the tank not bringing 5 sup runes...

very close ajantis, but if you try that you'll realize you can't keep a permanent sb. It's close, but not seemless. Try switching out blessed aura and holy veil, but the rest seems good. According to one of the screenshots on the first page, the mo/me is using Holy Veil, so either your lying now, or your totally trying to throw us of with the mo/me build.

According to one of the screenshots on the first page, the mo/me is using Holy Veil, so either your lying now, or your totally trying to throw us of with the mo/me build. They clearly modified their build on gwen looks like. Before gwen was running holy veil, essense bond, maybe blessed aura, blessed signet, but if you look closely at the more recent pictures, it's failry obvious that gwen is no longer maintaining enchantments, therefore the veil/aura/ebond are no longer being used. Gwen's using the yakslapper most likely for the 20% enchanting, but I doubt there is any protection skills in her bar other than rebirth. I would have kept essence bond on the tank for loads of energy, but from the screens it's not there, but taking out holy veil makes alot of sense because if spellbreaker goes down veil wont help much, ignorance/migraine/conjure phantasm+elitus interruptus equals game over for tank.

So far I have this in mind:
1) hard rez - 2 skills
rebirth
vengence

2) constant spellbreaker - 3 skills
arcane mimicry
arcane echo
echo[E] or Spellbreaker[E](echo seems like energy overkill

3) energy management - this is tricky
What energy management do we have as Mo/Me?
channeling - doubtful since that would require melee range casting, but possible since sno mentions gwen being interrupted
essence bond - no maintained enchants that i can see so this is out
mantra of recall[E] - nope no enchants on gwen
inspired hex - very plausible
inspired enchantment - plausible since dryders dont hex I believe
leech signet - plausible but very tricky to use on mindblades
peace and harmony[E] - no enchantments sry
succor - again no enchantments

4) something else - this could fall under interrupt prevention, energy drains, extra dmg, or healing.
mantra of resolve - sno mentions someone being interrupted(so maybe not this one)
hexbreaker
heal area

I'd be hard pressed to not use mantra of resolve with the mindblades, since they cheat. The things can interrupt rof with skills that are the same casting length, which is just downright mean.

So my best guess is:
vengence
rebirth
arcane mimicry
arcane echo
spellbreaker[E]
inspired hex
inspired enchantment or heal area?
mantra of resolve?

More importantly to me since obviously we can play with this build ourselves and tweak accordingly is this:
Can you offer advice on how to beat the Chaos Plains Reaper quest?
That's all I'd really like to know at this point.

Great work on refining your build, it looks quite fun. My guild usually runs a 3 man with a barrage ranger to help clear the behemoths quicker, but the chaos plains were mostly off-limits, so this build provides some interesting tactics to work on.

Rez Full Health I-Monk Changes Weapon to one with out -hp

Monk Dies

Rez with Rebirth

And your I-Monk is alive What would changing to weapon without -hp do fer you. why not just rez with rebirth, and your monk is alive.

What would changing to weapon without -hp do fer you. why not just rez with rebirth, and your monk is alive. When a 55 monk dies he has 1 hp

Rebirth rezes for like 30% health
Not enough for a full rez

Need Full Rez

Great job on completing the underworld with a 3-man team!
Not to hijack this thread but do you have in store in completing the new PvE area in tombs in a similar feat? I just completed it for the first time with a 7-8 man group (1 left after 2 rooms,) and I'm thinking about ways to cut the numbers. ATM I have a few ideas, but nothing working as of yet.

lol i think you use weird monk build i use different and can tank a lot of monsters. didn't try 21 yet 16 was max atm but it works well. btw doesn't blessed signet get interrupted ? by aatxe or you don't use it there ? Bonetti's before every cast and you won't have that problem. Yes it ends AFTER the cast is over but it helps protect you while you do it.
