This build has been designed for the following use:

This build was designed to farm the Vermin outside Senji's Corner in Xaquang Skyway. With the use of the Monk's armor-ignoring damage skills from the Smiting Prayers line, you are able to deal damage to multiple foes simultaneously. Protection Prayers and Earth Prayers skills are used to defend yourself from the enemy attacks.

Attributes and Skills

Max Radiant Armor with the above mentioned runes. Basically your normal prot gear, the minor smiting rune isn't even needed.
Whatever you want of enchanting. I prefer a staff of enchanting so I can do some additional damage myself. Another weapon of enchanting will also work but does less damage.

Maintain Blessed Aura, Balthazar's Spirit, and Essence Bond at all times.
Gather as many vermin as you feel like, you can tank an infinite number if used right.
Keep Fleeting Stability and Shield of Absorption up at all times, I find it smart to follow SoA with FS.
Use Mystic Regeneration to counter the health degen of the vermin.
Use Shield of Judgment to damage the vermin, follow it up with Balthazar's Aura. The knockdown for SoJ will allow BA to deal lots of damage without scattering the vermin. attack a vermin at all times so it keeps attacking you. Shreader should always be taken down first.

Against normal vermin there is a huge margin for error due to your high health and armor. As long as you keep fleeting stability up you have all the time in the world to cast your skills. Against shreader this margin is remarkably smaller, always take him down first so you can easily take down the rest.
Shield of Judgment and Balthazar's Aura do scatter the vermin. Always attack one of them so it will attack until it dies.
Do NOT use Balthazar's Aura without having Shield of Judgment on you or trapping the vermin so they can't move. It will only scatter them making the run take longer.
Do not use many skills when only a few vermin are left. You will need atleast 25 energy at the end of the battle to start the new one. You only have 1 energy regeneration.
