 * 1) Common GvG build &mdash; Skuld 05:47, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * 2) Favored - I run a build very close to this. --Kiiron 09:05, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * 3) Favored. I've played against it and found it really annoying as a warrior and we've ran it in GvG to our liking. --Vindexus 12:15, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * 4) Good stuff. Needs a patient healer who times his casting, not a spammer who freaks out. Works best in 8 man groups with a 2nd monk. --Karlos 23:41, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
 * 5) Favored. Watched it in action during observe, works great.
 * 6) Favored, allthough only for real and professional Monk. First Healer Monk[[image:Monk-icon-small.png]] 08:18, 14 December 2006 (CST)

-Unfavored-
 * 1) The skills are quite versitile, and the two assasin skills are quite shifty. I find the lack of energy is a problem and I cant heal as often as I would like. I jsut don't see myself using it again, I think there are builds with much more stamina and jsut as much durability. Jesus307 07:59, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

I'd probably turn return into optional even if Evil and some others are running it. --68.142.14.32 09:24, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I disagree, it think it's pretty much a staple of the build. What would you rather have there? The only thing I can really think of is Guardian, but I think that's only Variants worthy. --Vindexus 12:15, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * There's also veil, even if you do have blessed light. Infuse since ranger spike seems to be having a minor revival lately.  Maybe even vigorous if you have more than one W, R, or A.  --68.142.14.32 19:14, 20 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Veil is hardly used here with Blessed Light. Vigorous is just not commonly used at all in GvG. Personally, I would say that Spirit Bond should be the optional, instead of Return or Dark Escape. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 20:04, 20 August 2006 (CDT)

The fun thing is, you can use a crippling sword mod :p &mdash; Skuld 11:46, 21 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Haha, that's pretty funny. --Vindexus 09:15, 25 August 2006 (CDT)

...and what if you run out of energy ? where is energy managment 0.o Why havent you written anything about armor, weapon, counters... ? Its not that obvious for newbies.--Taki 16:39, 30 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Use signet of devotion. Yeh, it sacrifices energy management for survivability and isn't for newbies --62.56.100.85 16:40, 30 August 2006 (CDT)

yes... you can survive... but I guess your teammates cant. And, btw, blessed sig is poor heailng once a 7 seconds. --Taki 16:46, 30 August 2006 (CDT)
 * Yes well, I'm not going to try and tell you it is good, you will have to check observer mode --62.56.100.85 16:55, 30 August 2006 (CDT)

Nightfall
Remove Spirit Bond for SoA, maybe Mend Condition for Dismiss? What do ya think? - Krowman  23:10, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * i agree with puting SoA in for Spirt Bond. As for replacing Mend Condition with Dismiss, its iffy.  Dismiss has a bigger heal but thats only when target is enchanted. Dismiss also heals whether a condition is removed or not.  Dismiss should go to varients i think. Echo ftw 23:40, 22 January 2007 (CST)
 * I follow Echo completly here. Only note the skill balances from last week. SoA is usefull yet, but has become more tricky to cast. [[Image:Monk-icon-small.png]]FHM (talk|contribs) 14:30, 23 January 2007 (CST)

Good Archiving Canidate
No one runs, Blight was nice, but it is totally eclipsed by nightfall monk elites. No one runs these things anymore. What do you think?-Warskull 04:21, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I've seen blight in a couple of top50 matches quite recently.  &mdash;  n00kie  (ping) 04:30, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Its not common at all though &mdash; Skuld 04:58, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Most of those guilds were PuGs if I recall and a good deal of mocking them for using Blight occured. Blight is severely eclipsed by other monk elites at the moment. -Warskull 14:59, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * 1, 2 - Both teams using ZB/BL   &mdash;  n00kie  (ping) 17:00, 14 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Must be a euro thing. -Warskull 23:06, 15 March 2007 (CDT)
