Anyway - worst things I've seen:
General: Squishies that don't move out of AoE spells
Fire Storm used as an offensive spell (now)
Mesmers that backfire - then interupt on the same person
Ele seconds that cast anything over 10 energy and/or that causes exhaustion
Squishies that tank
One that still makes me laugh. Going through Divinity Coast I think (where there is swamp you must cross to get to some bone dragons) this Warrior died in the middle of the swamp. After the fight the monks try to raise and he can take like two steps and dies from poison. After a few questions we find he has several Sup runes - not knowing the HP penalty. He pings and has 30 HP. We end up making him finish the mission naked. Some one did give him a minor rune and he put swapped out the Sup on his boots - but the whole thing was funny.

My warrior was out with a group for Hell's Precipice. Group consisted of six warriors and two monks. We succeeded, but at one point everyone but me, one of the monks, and another warrior, were wiped out. Turns out the surviving monk didn't have rez--any rez. No rez signet, no spell, nuthin'. The other warrior had already used his rez sig. Luckily, I had mine (I'm a W/R, not W/Mo) and it was still charged. Oy vey.

Ring of Fire... pug mo/R who insisted on using a short bow and running off to pull/aggro. The few healing spells he had, he didn't even bother to use on anyone else, and couldn't use properly on himself.
Oh, and it was a 2/1 vamp. shortbow /slaphead

Edit: To stay on topic. Most common dumb thing I've seen is a stanard fire nuker ele rushing in to battle/aggro when nobody else is near them (including a healer, especially dumb when they don't have any self-healing except aura of restoration) and they clearly can't take the mob on their own.
Have also seen a 55 Mo/W wanting to do Warriors Path with us and then dying immediately from the losaru (no Prot Spirit up). Um, we didn't know you were 55, guess we have no way to rez you...
And of course the standard empathy on our monk in GvG last night (I saw that by inspiring it, and no it wasn't covering anything). o.o

Not staged, the monk actually brought meteor shower to--- Ring of Fire.
I never want to see that poor monk again
Also the reason why i ask what skills the Mo/E has from now on, is because of that.

I recently brought Counter Blow (!) on my monk in GvG to take advantage of my -5 energy hammer by surprising any warriors that managed to get to our backlines. We were rolling our opponent pretty badly, so I decided to run up and chip in with a couple of knockdowns as they continued to fight back in vain. Yes, the ladder was frozen...I'm not that insane.
As for other people...I've seen far too many boneheaded things go on to really list or get too upset at. Like the rank 9 who joined our HoH group and did nothing but maintain 4 watchful spirits--none on our Ghostly Hero either, and no recast when any were removed. Or the ranger who was so bad at pulling in Sorrow's that my monk had to pull out his emergency long bow and show how it's done. Or eles who run up to pull mobs in FoW (and why are there soooo many who do this?
), particularly when we have a ranger in the party.And as for that Last of Master image...that looks like he hit Frenzy exactly when Healing Signet ended. He's really good at what he does...definitely worth watching on Observer Mode.

Maybe not the dumbest but i've definitely had the strangest group of my GW time tonight.
Doing THK on my monk, our group consisted of: two monks, three warriors, a necro, a ranger and an ele. The necro and ranger were both /mo and said they were healers. Virtually all of their bars were monk skills.
As if that wasn't enough, the ele was an ele/mes but used a bow. When we asked her about it her reply was 'I'm a ranger'.
I still can't work that one out.

And for another time..In Random Arena, me (a Mo/Me), 2 rangers, and a warrior. It took me a while to realize that the one ranger was using vengence to Res me several times..worked for a while.

MONK.
a monk who joined us in one of the jungle missions. he advertised as a 100% healer, but all he had was heal breese. rest he brought smites and sword attaks. and a sword with an energy focus, and was tanking evrything possible to tank, leaving the real tank wait run after him like a babysitter. he kept runing forward and all around chaoticly, attaking random thing and die...(well you know... monk armor)

How about this, I just seared my monk.
I noticed the the other team was dismayed because we were 4 players and they were 1 player and 3 henchies.
He had nothing to worry about we were 2 monks 1 ele and 1 mes, the other monk and ele had warrior secondary and were carring swords, neither could stay alive long enough to kill anything, I never saw the ele drop a storm or the monk cast a healing, we were slaughtered.

The monk was probably someone rushing to get set up for 55 farming. Leave at level 1, get run, etc and start working on trolls, UW or other popular farming spots.

The most stupid thing I've ever seen someone do:
A monk healing a pile of enemy undeads (minion spam) in team arenas with Heal Area >_>
Then I've seen some pretty stupid things done, like casting chaos storm at a rushing warrior, and trying to interrupt a .75 seconds spell without fast casting o.O

Anyone claiming they are their 2nd profession.....ie...Nec/War thinking they are a warrior and tanking and dying and wondering why. You are a NECRO, your 2nd profession is there to supplement your TRUE profession, period, end of discussion

This:
and this:
made me laugh. One of my favourite characters is a beastmaster. Monks quickly catch on to heal my pet when they see how much damage she does. Sometimes she's a better tank than the tanks, or in some groups, the only tank.
I see this quite a bit--monks who mainly use breeze or heal other. They spam them, and constantly run out of energy. Not good.

I have seen a player using Apply Posion every time before he uses Barrage, all the way from tomb level 1 to 4, I have suggested to him that Barrage does not hold the posion, as the Barrage removes all the perps, but the suggestion was doing no good to him.
