Nice guide mate! I logged in and did 55ing the old way with my Necro recently, and searched this up out of curiosity - interesting to see how things have changed in 15 years! Loved the VO and the music - great vid.
Cool to see new GW1 content. I remember the Eye of the North arena where one of the NPC opponents used this. That one was always an easy kill with life stealing skills - but hard without those.
Thanks for the video, it gave me some new information about the build that I didn't know either. Now only a few productive farm locations are missing. (Farming 'Vattiere' is getting to my stomach...)
Was doing this over 10+ years ago, so much fun. I remember I stopped doing it because Guild Wars nerfed something, can't remember what it was. But doing the Octo farm with a 55 monk and a 55 Necro was so much fun!
As soon as saw the thumbnail of those skills I was like oooooof the nostalgia! If I could ever login to my old account I still have an account name shifivtyfivemonk or something like that. Honestly was one of my favorites because of how long it took me to achieve getting all the weapons, armor and everything. Great video, thank you for a splash of nostalgia :D
OR...you could just use Healing Breeze to out-heal the incoming damage and go for more damage skills. PLUS...you don't need to waste time pulling 3-5 mobs at a time. 1-2 is easier and faster overall as long as your damage output is good.
? jeah? so do i? and all people i know O.o How so you and -apparently- everyone else activate your abilities?! Pleaase i must know because i have absolutely no idea what youre talking about
@@eremesguile9036 well i did put my abilities on 1234, q, e, r, f - if im not mistaken. guess im a nonclicker too. interrupt spells on q or e... good times.
For low HP farming, it doesn't really matter. At 55hp, the max damage you are capped at is 5hp. Shield and hands reduce damage by 5 and 15. So it doesn't matter. For high HP builds, yes it does matter. Use starter armor with a low rating.
The name is "legendary Monk Eric" He was also the first person who was born and raised 100% in Tyria. Just for security purposes, Arenanet invited him to their headquarter and sacrifieced him to Grenth in their secret underground temple.
I love how 55hp farming not only still works but is still taught. Thanks for keeping the community lively.
Sick video, glad there's someone making content this high quality for GW1

Video kind of makes me want to come back and play again!
Do it!
It's still up and running :)
Lots of people online every day. Even more during events too.
That's true!

I just got back into GW after year away, picked up my 55 monk but didnt see anything recently made for this content. Thank you!
I have a bunch of monk farming videos. Even though some are a few years old, they are still relevant.

GW support was super helpful in getting me back into my account recently YMMV
been years since i monk 55 hp nice to see it still works.
I remember back in the day I used dervish and assassin I think it was... got something similar but with damage reflection.
I see a Mozo video, i like Mozo video!

Yep. I talk about that at 8:42. But not all farms can be done this way.
Nice Explain. Thank´s for vid :)
The year is 2023 and there are still people out there clicking there Abilities^^
? jeah? so do i? and all people i know O.o How so you and -apparently- everyone else activate your abilities?! Pleaase i must know because i have absolutely no idea what youre talking about
@@rainbowpheanix Hotkeys on keyboard. Modern MMORPG players discourage clicking abilities, keyboard turning and backpedaling.

I wanted to make it clear which skills I'm casting for the video :)
The year is 2023, and ppl still playing GW is amazing.
Thanks man
What are some areas that are good 55 HP farming areas?
♥thank!
Since you use prot spirit and the other spells, isn't it possible to use low armor?
the best armor for 55-600 hp builds is the amor your char starts in. the more dmg you take the more you reflect
@@jobsy4578 thanks!
For low HP farming, it doesn't really matter. At 55hp, the max damage you are capped at is 5hp. Shield and hands reduce damage by 5 and 15. So it doesn't matter. For high HP builds, yes it does matter. Use starter armor with a low rating.
Use your starter armor.😉
Do we know who first invented the 55hp monk?
I have no idea. I wonder if someone does though
The name is "legendary Monk Eric" He was also the first person who was born and raised 100% in Tyria. Just for security purposes, Arenanet invited him to their headquarter and sacrifieced him to Grenth in their secret underground temple.
Now that I see that name, it sounds familiar
you hould have listed some skills and tips on the damage part. like this the vid is incomplete
Like I said, those can vary greatly depending on whatever farm you are doing. There are hundreds of options. But I can see what you mean.
background music is so annoying. It's too loud making hard to hear the content
+1. The music needs to be turned down.
