n00b Question 

What is "55"? I see it mentioned in builds all the time and frankly, have no clue what it means. I just smile and nod my head.... :)

RE: n00b Question 

There is no "noob" questios here.For your question "55" is a certian kind of monk that is used mostly for farming. The 55 refers to the amount of health the char has.

RE: n00b Question 

55 mentions the hp u use.
together with protective spirit (wich allows u only to lose 10% health) makes u easy to keep alive with health regeneration.

since teh basic doesnt include a elite skill u can use anything u like. with Mo/N mostly used is SS wich stands for spitefull spirit. and the most used monk elite is SoJ (shield of judgement)

RE: n00b Question 

The "55" concept revolves around having 55hp, as well as the skill Protective Spirit. To achieve 55hp, you must have 5 superior runes, and then a -50hp off-hand (quest reward for Cities of Ascalon (I think it's called that)).

Then, as prot spirit limits your received damage to 10% of your hp, and because this number is rounded down, the maximum damage you can take when under this enchantment is 5 per attack. This can then obviously be extremely useful for solo farming - as when you have a regen skill such as Mystic Regeneration (Dervish), you health pretty much never moves.

You are invincible! ;-)

RE: n00b Question 

note,
dont take the invincible to literally.
life stealing and enchantrippers stil pwn u big time. so if those are in the area u wont be able to farm it.

55 mostly farms W/R/A/D/E

wich already is 50% of the enemys

Don't forget the undead! (I know they contain those classes and aren't a profession). Undead farming with a SoJ 55 monk in Kryta is a good farm (SoJ = Shield of Judgement), monks do double damage to undead by using holy damage (some dervish skills cause holy damage too).

No such thing as a noob question unless you intend to ignore the answers :) It may be a newb question but definately not noob.
