Earendil's Damage Proof Monk (4x4 PVP tanking monk)

2005-08-01T18:08:14Z

Earendil:

I've used this build in 4x4 PvP, both competition arenas and team arenas. While a protector build, it can do the healing needed for a 4x4 team. You enjoy being focused on by the full enemy team :). It worked wonders as the only monk in the group. Just try it and you'll love it. Nothing beats tanking 2-3 warriors/eles at the same time :)

Class - Monk/ranger

Runes: 1 superior protection and 1 superior divine favor

Attributes - max prot (12+3+1), divine favor at 12, beast mastery at 9

Skill setting:

1. Divine boon
2. Reversal of Fortune
3. Symbiosis
4. Protective bond
5. Balthazar spirit
6. Essence bond
7. Blessed signet
8. Life barrier

Weapon/focus: rod with 20% faster recharge divine favor skills and protective icon with +1 protection skills (20%)

Tactics.

On log, you start by trying to do a level 17 prot bond (1 energy cost on the icon)on you. Might take a few tries and a patient, non rushing team. Sometimes its on first sometimes you have to settle with a 2 energy only. I usually stop trying after a 4th/5th attempt.

Essence bond, balth spirit, boon, blessed signet. Blessed signet whenever recharged. Life Barrier on one weaker armored teammate (a plausible target) - optional but fun.

When you get close to the fighting area - symbiosis for a whooping 800-900 hp:). Build is completely viable without symbiosis but its way easier to survive with it, since prot bond will be activated less often = more mana.

In fight, if you're attacked - dont run, you dont need it. Alternate boon/rof on you for healing. Its very hard to get killed. I've been targeted by 2 heavy hammer warriors and one air spiking/ether renewal ele - no luck for them :)

To heal your teammates - booned RoF. Might seem little but its incredibly effective. If you have enough mana while being hit (happens often) use boon on yourself and RoF on others.

Of course, this build is vulnerable to enchant removals but its highly resistent to Backfire and life drains.He can ignore spiking, even without symbiosis. Mana drainers are a danger but not a huge one.

If killed and ressed or Nature popped - do a boon on yourself then use RoF on you/others. Decently effective healing.

Good luck

Earendil's Lone monk (UW soloer and more)

2005-07-27T15:30:44Z

Earendil:

First - I dont claim to be fully original with this setup. I got many useful information from Delbert of Danley. My contribution was the adding of shield of judgement as one of the main offensive skills and the intensive testing.

This is a crazy build. It can solo the UW to a large extent. 1 man smiter runs in about 30 minutes. 3 quests. Its also rather effective in FoW when correctly played. I got near the forge master with him. As for regular encounters....tanking a pack of 15 mahgo hydras (they stand no chance) or cleaning the south half of talus chute in 20 minutes.

Class - Mo/anything - I use necro but there could be many variations

Attributes rather variable.

Divine favor at 4+3 (for a blessed at 13)

Healing at 9+3 - 12 (put it at 13 at start for a +4 mending then you can refund 1-2 points)

Protection - 16+1 at start (for a level 17 prot bond) then refund.

Smite - maxed at 16 after protective bond and mending are up.

Items

Any armor pieces with 5 superior runes for 5*75 = - 375 hps
A quest reward item with -50 hps
A +1 protective skills icon - Wintun the black south of ascalon settlement. Another one is in the maguma jungle I heard.

Basically

- put a lvl 17 prot bond on yourself (icon on switch, might take a few tries. Check the left upper icon in your corner till it says 1 energy cost)
- put a +4 mending on yourself - then balth spirit and essence bond. Refund and raise smiting to 16 (optional)
- switch to -50 HP gear (I use a personalised smiting rod from the collector in Drocknar as weapon)

Skills:

For protection: prot bond/essence/spirit/mending/signet

For damage - shield of judgement and balthazar aura

Last slot is optional. If you want to kill terrorwebs - you need watchful spirit or, better, healing breeze. If you only plan a smite run .... go symbol of wrath for faster kills. Other options are obviously possible, especially with a companion and various secondaries.

Its safer to tank 2 aatxes (3 are doable) and up to 5-6 darknesses. The darkness interrupt and drain are a pain - sometimes you have to rod kill them. Do a shield right before aggroing them then (try) a balth aura - should be enough to kill them.
