Thinking about next character

I am thinking about my next charater for guildwars and am thinking about a kinda self sufficient monk. One that will be able to heal as well as use smite. Anybody doing anything like that?

Yeah, I've done that before. It works pretty well, actually. With Zealot's Fire, Balthazar's Spirit, and Divine Boon, you can even solo (without henchmen). I'm a Mo/N, so in my earlier levels, I mixed in summons instead of smiting skills, but I'm sure that smiting skills would have worked too.
