Trust me. they just Don't Go Well together.
Even with Full Druid armour. Ranger/ele is an effective combo. It was actually my first character combo through the game.
Your only thing against it seems to be that the ranger cant spam the huge energy spells of the ele...
You don't go ranger/ele so the ranger can use Big Nuke Spells....
You go Ranger/Ele for the support spells.

LOL, i love how this thread has gotten off track. A/Mo is good for its smiting capablilities. Healing doesnt help too much unfortunantly. I have a A/R for defensive stances (which could also be a A/W). Just my two cents, actually ive thought about A/E with conjures (thanks everyone above me) and maybe some of the armor of (your element here) skills.

I made my assassin A/mo so i can become temporarily almost invinicible or smite, w/ some of the new smite skills iv seen it seems to be a good choice for AoE smite while hitting another target... So far i am happy i made a/mo, just dont try to self heal too much, just use the assassin technices of healing self besides the heals u also get energy w/ it so thats good to have. My A/mo is 10 atm so idk what skills are provided later

Has anyone tryed keeping Live Vicariously on yourself as a A/Mo? With dagger attacks coming in at about 1/sec, thats quite a bit of healing. Alternatively perhaps Life Bonding yourself for damage reduction.
With high criticals (and 4 pips) sins have quite a bit of energy input, so they might be able to get away with maintainable enchantments where a warrior would have trouble.
Could one of these somewhat take the place of defensive stances? Just a theory at the moment, but I'd be happy to hear from anyone who has tried it.

"A/Mo is a fine combo for PvE. Just run a pure sin and use Resurect."
My findings exactly, used the new full hp res and on a couple of missions mend ailment.. that's all, Assassins are more than able to stay alive with the skills they have.. usually I would wait until the warrior has picked his target then warp in and 3 hit combo, warp to the rit or monk heal up if needed, then wait to pick the next target.
As most of the people here, I thought about mes purely for hex breaker or distortion for when there is a party wipe and i'm the one left to run and res, but, I don't think monk is a bad choice.

A/Mo shouldn't be used for self healing, its too in-efficent.
The way you should use Monk secondaries is condition/hex removal and hard res. wORd.
That is what I chose /Mo for... though Mending was used a bit in the beginning -- and it helped for lowbie island.

As a monk user, I really REALLY hate you people who say "it's the monk's job to heal you" becuase in most cases that translates to "Go ahead and leave the buffs behind and be as reckless as you want to be!" and that's exactly what most people do; it's leads to a great deal of stress for the healer and normally ends in multiple party member deaths due to just that.
In my experience (limited as it is) a 'Sin with a decent Shadow Arts level can stay alive without monk healing spells. If you are going A/Mo, maybe looking into some Protection Prayer buffs? If anything condition/hex removal is always good.
