Monk/Warrior advice please.

thanks for that

Cant find anything to do with my armor i currently have to decide on build which is:

Zealots Scalp Design
Censor's Vestment of Minor Smiting Prayers
Censor's Handwraps of minor healing Prayers
Censor's Pants of Minor Protection Prayers
Censor's Sandals of Minor Divine Favour

Weapon i currently have for this armor is Kepkhets Refuge. I just need guidence towards a build with armor i have, i am willing to change anything on armor if need be.

Iam level 9 at the moment but have all skills sorted for 55hp Monk already including SOJ, i have spoken to many 55hp Monks and they all seem to use the same skills apart from one skill maybe from time to time, have correct armor for that, just need help for lets just say a mission monk

Ok...what you want to do is, take that Censor's armor and back away...just walk away. Do not use that to 55 with, goto Lions Arch, and by the Ascetic's there, if you want the only bonus you get from armor when 55ing. Otherwise, just go get some random collector armor or Ascalon armor.

Put one of each rune on the armor, Superior Runes that is, and then use a second Superior rune of whichever is the cheapest of the four. The Zealot's head piece is your friend, you want to put a Superior Smiting on that.

Now you have your armor for 55ing. Now do the "Cities of Ascalon" quest, or buy a -50 HP offhand, for around 5k - 6k. You can then get something along the lines of a Fiery Flame Spitter, from the collector south of Fort Ranik. That, the +5 energy weapons, or the Long Sword w/ a Crystaline skin are great for 55ing. Just put an enchant mod on it if you like, and thats your normal circumstances weapons for 55ing all but the Underworld. For there you need a max damage wand, that you meet the requirement for and is customized for your character.

Skills that are necessary are:

SoJ or SS
Mending
Breeze
Protective Spirit
Balthazar's Spirit or Essence Bond
Divine Aura

Optional - Blessed Signet, Sprint, Bonetti's, Sympathetic Visage, etc....

Attributes
Divine - Rest
Smite - 12 + 1 + 3
Healing - 6 + 3
Prot - 4 + 3
Illusion or Tactics - 2ish

General purpose Monk

Censor's Armor, or whatever max AL Armor - I use Ascetic's, doesn't really matter though.

Head Piece - Whatever your highest attribute is, w/ a +1 Minor, Major, or Superior rune of the same attribute

Vigor - Minor, Major, or Superior
Divine Favor - Minor or Major
Protect - Minor
Healing - Minor

I use:


Healing Prayers - 12 + 3 + 1
Blood Magic - 10
Divine Favor - 8 + 1

1. Offering of Blood
2. Orison of Healing
3. Healing Whisper
4. Dwayna's Kiss
5. Heal Other
6. Healing Touch
7. Remove Hex
8. Purge Condition

That is in no way the "best", looking around the forums will tell you that. The best is dictated by situation, experience level, usage, preferance, etc....

Re: General Monk (for PVE)

I think monks really should bring a hard res for PVE, just in case.

Since the OP is a Mo/W and is just starting out, I use the following build:

Orison of Healing
Dwayna's Kiss
Vigorous Spirit (stick on assassin, warriors etc)
Signet of Devotion (very useful)
Mend Ailment (with no points in protection, this is just a cheap condition removal)
Remove Hex
Rebirth
[free slot, just stick a big heal spell or enchantment or cap sig or whatever there]

They're all skills you can get in Kryta or earlier, and you hardly ever run out of energy.

Thanks for some ideas on the general monk, i did state that i am sorted for the 55hp monk as i have the armor for it (cant remember name but the one with tatoos) and the weapon. any other ideas are welcome

well just be a regular heal monk i guess if you play mo/w for missions.

orison of healing, dwaynas kiss, healing touch (later in the game when you get the skill), Signet of Devotion, Mend Condition, and Resurrect. Other skills are up to you. I would suggest Divine Boom coz I totally love it but you don't have energy management as mo/w.

My suggestion suggestion is put points in Divine Favor and Healing Prayers.

Have fun! and good luck.

Don't forget you made a Mo/W to play the role of the Monk you might want to try being a bonder for awhile or just a plain healing Monk.

for any sort of monking i would use a Mo/Me. IMO mo/w are totally crud (apart from farming of course). I always have 10 point in inspiration and for pve use energy tap and inspired hex.
