Stuff like this happens all the time on the america server... Is it likethat in european server too.. Cuz this seems ridiculous. Instead of fighting to keep favor for our country we strike and not let others play.
I'm canadian so i dont care which server im at, i always get ppl puttin me down cuz im canadian.

As for the batteries it is nice to have one for a monk in difficult battles where they have to spam heals. Ele's definately don't need them cause they got dual attunements anyways...if an ele needs one then they are playing the game wrong.

Don't bring up the well known line of Glyps and stuff. If you never been in the situation as an emo where you desperatly wanted that extra energy regen to cast somethin asap that would annihilate the remaining monsters you should play more.
Dual attunments heh? ever hear of exhaust?

Why are the monks on strike? Because we don't pay them to help us at THK? Mhenlo is a more competent monk than most of the wannabe "show runners" that plague GW.
Is that "n00b warrior" making you mad? Sorry buddy, there are just as many ''noobie" monks as there are warriors. Maybe if you showed respect and helped someone that wasn't as "leet" as you are, people would possibly show respect back, which right now, you don't really deserve at all. Alot of monks can dish crap out, but when they are in they start to get a little bit of flak, they all of a sudden pull the stunt where they make a thread that sounds like they are trying to start some sort of revolution, or, to put it simply, whine and snivel about how they "work" so hard and aren't getting enough "respect" (<---funny) from the other 5 classes.
Go choke.

it'd be a lot of fun - and I'd get a lot of satisfaction seeing w/mo's hoping to join the party and being denied.

This whole thing leaves me wondering just one thing - What are people doing with their other 3 character slots? It's as if the striking Monks play only a Monk and nothing else! (That goes for many other classes as well.)
There are bad players in EVERY profession and Combo - but I don't think there's as many as people make it out to be. And there are players who make mistakes along the way - including myself. But if a person LEARNS from their mistakes, there should be no problem.
You want to know if a W/Mo is any good? Ask them if they're bringing Frenzy. If they are, I'd be very, very leery about them. IMHO, it's a piece of crap skill and I NEVER use it. You give out 33% more damage, but take 100% more - no thank you!
And shame on the Monks who think that a Warriors job is to just stand there and take a beating. There are situations where a Warrior needs to be a tank, like in Tombs (hard to hit anything when you're constantly blind, which I don't pester the monks about, as it's a waste of energy to remove it - LOL), and there are times when he should be a damage dealer, BUT they should always carry some defensive skills.
But the ovewhelming thing to me is the total ignorance about the capabilities of a Mesmer! Everyone's got this idea that Mesmers only have 2 skills - backfire & empathy. If Ignorance was bliss, then today THK is Euphoria!
As for the 8/8 monk group that beat THK, What secondaries did everyone have? How many secondary skills were used? Nobody seems curious about that at all. I don't really care, because to me beating THK with all henchies would be tougher to do.

what's the big deal with THK anyways? I've beaten it all but once in 4 or 5 tries. Just have 2 people man the catapults and keep pulling the lever. the other 6 can kill the rest.
Sinjin
try it - THK with all hench is actually pretty easy as long as you stay near the king.

Mythics
5 classes deal dmg
1 class heals those 5, and then.. only two of it's attribute lines can do so
Protection/Healing are more important to the generic 4/6/8 man build than any others.
You can do without a warrior sometimes, you can do without a mesmer.. but how often can you so easily do without a monk?

I find it quite amusing that all of the people that complain about the 'monk strike' and saying it is childish or don't understand it do not also have Mo/ listed under their characters.
Yes, no doubt every class hates it when a lot of agro is collected. But it's not the wammo or tanking ele that gets the /blame/. Good players know this. But good players aren't that likely to have monk problems. The problem is we're frequently treat like henchmen, even if not by 'you', and that's exemplified by the line of thinking that we won't "let" you play. It's our own damned business and one day of amusement for 300 others we got flamed on for doing our level best to keep people alive from a situation they themselves created.
Never forget monks need a team as much as a team 'needs' monks. Today you can use henchmen. Tomorrow we'll be back in teams getting flamed at for wanting to help people.

Has for being on team, after this bs from monks, i dont want any random monks in my group. Especially after seeing that some even join teams today to ragequit or make them lose. Hopefully, others will see has i see.
Also, i had a monk, i was bad at it so i quit. No point in trying to help if i couldnt do the job and you don't see me complaining on how ppl were rude to me. At least i admited to be a bad healer. I can play other professions very good.
Pyromaniac
Funny, I tried for an entire Saturday passing that mission with real people. I gave up and used henchies, and finally passed the mission with all of my characters. Kinda sad actually...
Lint
I love the strike, Monks do reserve more respect because there is very few, when they have no energy left, they cant heal, warriors curse em out.....
....^^^^^
^^i love it^^
....^^^^^^
WAY 2 MANY PEOPLE ARE WARRIORS. not all warriors but probally 7/8 of warriors are stuck-up or Nubs, there the reason why monks do this.

Monk A was AFK dancing in THK Mission Area. Not the actual mission. Just, you know, the area. Monk B starts dancing with Monk A--and then Monk B insults a warrior. Hilarity ensues.
Desutro Stroyen
how odd....u'll definitely get more items that way but they can never compare to actual players but there are some upsides
1. They never talk back
2. They dont quit cause things arent going very well
3. Well they are in some cases smarter....ok well most cases
4. No noob rushing and they all attack the same target
Disadvantages
1. They dont talk back.....(it gets so lonely out there)
2. .....ok im out of disadvantages...
Pretty soon these monks around here are gonna be quite costly.

Oh there is a reason why you are doing this, but it isnt going to accomplish anything, you demand respect, but you must realize that in doing this, and spamming constantly about the strike that people arent going to respect you, they will find you annoying, and then just say F this...and take the henchie monks. This strike really is nothing more than something to waste time in my opinion.
And to note, i have never had a problem with a monk in any one of my missions where i have had a human player helping me, and i am a warrior...and no i dont agro things, i figure at level 20, i dont need experience, so i avoid what i can...this whole thing like i said above is a waste of time, and will not last long
Isis Mordecai
u do get alot of bad monks as well, ones that use wrong spells for certain situations which burns up their energy more than an aggro'n warrior would. i play w/mo and a n/me, i used to have a monk but got bored of it as its always healing which doesnt interest me.
but, at the same time this is pretty funny.

For every idiot warrior there's an idiot monk, and idiot ele, and idiot necro, an idiot ranger, and the occasional idiot mesmer.
Either way, hench>pugs.

Yeah the monk strike is the dumbest thing I've heard of. Monks are ALWAYS on strike, their so stuck up you have to be a perfect group to et them, unless their new, or the merciful few that realize they aren't almighty.
Yes I have played a monk, and I wasn't good at it, and I didn't like the pressure, so you know what I did? I didn't keep playing it and whine about not getting "respect". I deleted the character and saved myself and others the grief.
If monks want respect they should stop being elitist snobs. Dying sucks for everyone, not just you. Being in a bad group sucks for everyone not just you. Everyone gets disrespected evenly over time.

I've been a monk for a pretty long time, and we aren't treated all that bad, people are overreacting..
Also for all the people here bashing warriors: Not all warriors are Wammo's with mending and healing hands, some of them actually know what they're doing and they can be really usefull.

I originally made this against the IWAYs in CA and pet-rangers and generally anyone who greifed monks.
Yes, they are far too common.
No, they are not unavoidable.
Sadly, they are very much everywhere in PvE, hence why I stopped playing monk in PvE.
My monk still hasn't made it past THK because idiots keep aggroing everything, the trappers and nukers forget what they're doing and blame everything on the warriors, and the mesmers and monks try to keep order because they're pretty much the only competent classes on a whole.
Not saying other classes are idiot-sticks, just that generally only good players get their monks and mesmers to THK.
I'm gonna go watch the strike now, this sounds hilarious.
