This build has been successfully vetted by the GuildWiki community according to the vetting procedure.

This build has been designed for the following use:

Tanking Monk

Monk / Mesmer	Attribute Rank
Protection Prayers	12 + 1
Divine Favor	12 + 1

Equipment

Ascalon Monk armor or Shing Jea Ascetic Head Piece, Pants, Feet armor (AL: 15) (Yes I'm right, only take 3 armor pieces)
Runes are Minor Protection and Minor Divine Favor on 2/3 armor pieces.
Kepkhet's Refuge or a other +15E, +30HP, 20% longer enchantments (For tank and smiter)

Bonding Monk

Monk / Mesmer	Attribute Rank
Smiting Prayers	12 + 1 + 3
Protection Prayers	12 + 3

Usage

Cast all of the bonds on the tanking monk.
For players more experienced with the run, take the quest immediately and aggro both groups, to decrease run time.
The bonding monk stays back in the first room when aggroing 2 groups, there can be a cause of aggroing.
The tanking monk aggros groups and keeps Spirit Bond and Protective Spirit up while being attacked.
Use Spell Breaker if Dying Nightmares pop up.
When fighting the Grasping Darkness use Elemental Resistance.

Variants

Mantra of Inscriptions instead of Rebirth if tank is very experienced and won't die...
The tanking monk can take warrior as a secondary, and replace elemental resistance with Frenzy.

Notes

This build can kill the Coldfire Nights, but due to their ability to interrupt and their attacks not dealing enough damage, it is suggested to avoid them and just kill the Smite Crawlers.
The tanking monk does not need to attack every just sit there and be attacked (Dying Nightmares can be the exception if you have a wand or a staff, although they will end up killing themselves when they attack).
