Why are there so many W/Mo's? I found the answer!

From the Canthan Timeline on guildwars.com

511 CC Prince Chang Hai, a Warrior Monk, becomes first Ascendant emperor of Cantha.

They all want to be the next Ascendant emperor of Cantha.
Duh!

LOL! Good find.

lol It all makes sense now!!!

OMG this is gonna destroy the gw universe
btw did the emperor used mending too?:P

of course he did
how can u not as a w/mo

That's why I don't like W/Mo. =P

That isn't lore. The reason is the manual's always tell new players to try Warrior Monks. <_>

Yea the Emperor used mending, all the pro's use it

Myself, I have it on my skillbar twice ^^

and to "cripple you opponent and rain fire down upon them as they slowly limp away"- its on the prophecies box so it must work.

OMG im so much of a wammo that i only use ONE warrior skill.... Heal sig> AHAHAH NO ONE CAN KILL ME

Now THIS is my kind of thread!

Good work

I noticed Emperor Kisu is a Ritualist/Mesmer. Maybe he farms Raisu Palace with Vengeful was Kisu?

Hmm there was another reason why there are so many W/Mo. Theres a pic of it somewhere in the forums. Its a merged statue between Balthazar and Dwayna (showing Balthazar with wings). I guess they saw this as inspiration. It is also the inspiration for Mo/E to bring firestorm ftl.

LOL nice! I suck when it comes to warriors. =P

Nice find, they are smarter than we thought

A true warrior never leaves home without mending, healing breeze, vigorous spirit, and healing hands/defy pain. any warrior seen without these skills should be ashamed of themselves.

Really? I thought it was cuz warriors are powerful and have big hammers.

Why are there so many W/Mo's?

It's elementary and no research required:

-W/Mo's play similarly to the Paladin class, a staple of other fantasy based games.

-W/Mo's is a solid profession mix for the first-time player and/or soloist, especially early on in the game. (high armor/self healing)

-Smears against W/Mo's are primarily generated by people who scoff at the unoriginality of the profession combination.

Curiously, when the masses condemn you for being unoriginal, then you can be effectively considered a "maverick".

Mending helps to cover their use of frenzy-Dolyak Sig-Heal sig (That's right, the wammos had to replace echo with a skill)

LOL, just as a note. A smiting monk could be considered a warrior monk as well.

Don't forget that to do that you must be a warrior with no helmet firing a bow.
