• One of every Superior Rune (with protection on the headpiece) and a duplicate superior run on any piece of armor to get your health down to 55 hp.
• Full radiant insignias.

Weapons

• Any Axe, Sword, or Spear of Enchanting. Also, a +5 Energy modifier (or the inscription "I Have the Power") helps to increase the energy pool even more.
  • Totem Axe, Rajazan's Fervor, or Spirit of the Forgotten are all ideal weapons.
• The -50hp Grim Cesta from the quest Cities of Ascalon.

Usage

• Apply Blessed Aura and Balthazar's Spirit right as you zone in.
  • Optional: casting Blessed Aura with a Divine Favor +1 (stacking) headpiece and/or a Divine Favor Staff of Mastery can increase the effectiveness of this enchant. Getting the Staff proc may take multiple casts, if you have the patience. Be sure to switch back to the correct equipment once the enchant is up.
• Before pulling cast Protective Spirit and Shield of Absorption. (You should do this no more than two seconds before you do the next step, and the order is very important). Maintain these enchants until the end of combat.
  • If you brought Shielding Hands maintain this as well whenever Shield of Absorption is about to run out.
• Aggro your enemies. You must keep up Shield of Absorption continuously. Depending on how high your Divine Favor attribute was when you cast Blessed Aura, you can have as little as .5 seconds to recast it - or you may have as many as 1.85 seconds.

Needs a Nightfall Monk to get the quest Skree Hatchling Season. Loot: Avian Hammers, General drops. Usage : Very quick and easy farm with the extremely rare Avian Hammers as possible drops, talk to Mofuun to get the quest, take the western exit of Champion's Dawn into Cliffs of Dohjok and aggro the 26 Skree Hatchlings roaming there. You should usually be able to aggro them as a big single group. Cast Arcane Echo, then Shield of Judgment, followed by another. The 26 Harpies are all dead. ~6 Harpy Mothers will now spawn. You can either kill them the same way (Arcane Echo -> Shield of Judgment -> Shield of Judgment) or resign and prep for another run (don't forget to abandon the quest then take it again). Your path.

Counters

• Enchantment removal can be deadly if it hits Protective Spirit and/or Shield of Absorption. Because Necromancers and Mesmers have so many skills to do this, avoid them.
• Major health degeneration will also kill you. Watch out for conditions like Bleeding.
• Interruption or knockdown.

Notes

• Like all invincimonk builds, this build will be easier with practice.
• While this build will work if you are reduced to 1 hp (only when you won't encounter any creatures with a degeneration ability which will severely limit farming opportunities) it will require very quick reflexes to maintain constant coverage from Shield of Absorption.
• Consider removing the Healing Prayers piece of armor if you die.
• Try not to cast Protective Spirit and Shield of Absorption at about the same time; try to parse them so there is a one second lag between the two so as to phase out the healing from Divine Favor. If you are bringing Zealot's Fire, wait at least three seconds between casting the two so as to not cause enemies to scatter.
• This build will not make ranged monsters run from you, but melee monsters in groups of 3 or more will run from you (unless they cannot be knocked down, such as Hydras).
