=55HP Monk/Dervish build= This is a up-to-date 55 build, that uses Dervish as a secondary, because of the skill Mystic Regeneration. With Mystic Regen, you can take away Healing Breeze and Mending and thereby free up a skill slot. You can use this slot for extra damage with Retribution, Kirin's Wrath or Signet of Mystic Wrath.

Equipment

 * Any 20% of Enchanting, preferably with extra energy. A Totem Axe or Rajazan's Fervor is ideal.
 * The off-hand item is the -50hp Grim Cesta obtained via the Cities of Ascalon quest.
 * Ascetic's Armor (or any armor with full Radiant insignias, which add bonus energy) is ideal because, due to the low health, armor bonuses are completely immaterial.
 * All armor pieces must have Monk superior runes: one of each with one extra to bring your health down to 105 (this doesn’t include health deduction from the -50hp Grim Cesta), you will NOT need any healing attributes, so don't waste money on that, unless you decide you might need it for other builds.

Usage

 * Cast the last 4 enchantments before the fight. You won't have any energy regeneration, so use Blessed Signet to regain energy out of combat.
 * Before aggroing mobs, cast Protective Spirit. You should not need Healing Breeze unless you have more than 3 foes that cannot be knocked down (such as hydras), or 5 that can be knocked down (such as forgotten), or when farming Undead outside Bergen Hot Springs which use poison.
 * The energy gained from Essence Bond and Balthazar's Spirit should be more than enough for all situations.
 * Blessed Aura and your weapon of Enchanting will prolong Shield of Judgment, which is your core offensive spell.
 * The build is most successful against melee attackers and is least successful against spell casters (especially Mesmers). To use it for farming, find an area with a heavy concentration of melee attackers (such as the Blessed Griffons in Snake Dance or the Hydras in Skyward Reach) and take them on.

The run
Go out from Bergen Hot Springs and active the last four skills and then blessed signet.

Run up to the Skeleton Rangers, without aggroing them. Cast Protective Spirit and Mystic Regen, then run into the middle and activate SoJ (I do this for getting the most out of SoJ). Keep up PS and MR untill they are all dead and you can pick up the loot and, if needed, cast Blessed signet to regain some Energy.
