new 55hp monk 

Hi guys, i have seen people using 55 hps before and they are immense!
I recently made one, got the runes and the cesta so i got my 55hp, but i cant seem to stay alive, i run out of energy and cant use breeze and i die!

What weapons are there which give a good +energy?
And also, What is the best average spell setup? im a mo/w if it helps. PLEASE HELP!
Also any info on solo Warrior in FoW would really help!

thanx

RE: new 55hp monk 

If you are running out of energy, you don't have the skills right. Make sure you are using Ascetics armor for the bonus energy, and use a +5 energy always weapon and then you need the -50hp cesta. Here are the usual skills, though they can be swapped.

Healing Breeze
Protective Spirit
Shield of Judgement(though I don't think this works anymore really)
Zealot's Fire
Balthazar's Spirit
Mending
Essence Bond
Blessed Aura

Essence Bond and Balth's spirit give you two energy every time you take damage, so you should be fine for energy. You could also swap Zealot's Fire for bonetti's defense for even better energy management. If you can change to Mo/N, I know using tainted flesh actually works, whereas I don't think SoJ does anymore.

Edit: I forgot, if you have nightfall, use Shield of Absorption instead of healing breeze, it makes you take 0 damage every attack, so you can tank literally an infinite amount of foes, though you can't actually kill more than groups of three, so that doesn't matter all that much.

RE: new 55hp monk 

Welcome to Gameamp :P

Brynden has pretty much covered the solo killing stuff build. I usually run a Totem Axe along with the cesta, but any +5e +20% weapon will do. The +20% enchants part is really very useful, especially in combination with blessed aura. If you are in an area with creatures which interrupt make sure to use Bonnettis Defence (for Mo/W) to cast the 1 second spells, PS is usually fine tho at 1/4 sec cast.

Other than that practice is the key. Will take you a while to get used to it at first but really it's quite simple when you get the hang of it. Gets more complicated when you do things like Solo UW and have to worry about having your enchants removed in the presence of level 29 Bladed Aatxe's.

Good luck ^^

You could always use the ever-popular Shield of Absorption, which doesn't rely on health regeneration.

Check the GW Elite Skill Maps to the left here for your Elite caps. Shield of Judgement can be capped at Mineral Springs.

RE: new 55hp monk 

well, for the mountain trolls outside of droknar's forge Shield of Judgment doesn't really work anymore. this is what i use, it's a bit slow but it works:

mo/me

max illusion magic, then put all remaining points in protection prayers and divine favor.

1. mantra of resolve
2. protective spirit
3. shield of absorption
4. shielding hands
5. illusionary weaponry
6. essence bond
7. balthazar's spirit
8. blessed aura

basically, the mantra makes sure you're not interrupted and prot spirit with SoA makes you invincible, with shielding hands for emergencies. IW does the damage, which is slow but steady and they don't run. essence bond/balth spirit for energy and blessed aura to make sure your enchantments last long enough. for the hydras outside of augury rock Shield of Judgment still works fine though.

RE: new 55hp monk 

Lemme give you a hint on how to affectively 55 now just like you used to be able to with Trolls but even faster in some places.

There are places where damage is primarily dealt by ranged creatures. These creatures do not flee or stop attacking when their health is low. So SoJ works just like is used to. Replacing HB with SoA seems to work better for me, but that just allows me to take on larger groups. (my personal preference)

Zelots fire does no good since these are ranged creatures so you can actually put HB back in if ya want for a safety net, but keep a close eye on SoA so it doesn't run out if you are not using HB.

RE: new 55hp monk 

not quite got to droks yet with thi character so i cant get the missions to change fropm a mo/w.

i spent ages farming the minotaurs in that desert mission where there are loads at the beginning (i forgot the name) but all i got was 7 mino horns and a rucish sword... not really farming, plus i had to keep shooting different ones with my wand to bring them back to me cos they just run away

I heared this is a new thing... than creatures run away so i may try hydras cos i never seen them run away or find some rangers

any more suggestions?

Plus, where is mineral springs? never been there and i have almost 80% exploration in prophecies
