The Best Healer Monk isn't a Monk at All

dont embarrass urself on a messageboard saying that a freakin MONK WARRIOR is superior to a Monk Mesmer, because ur wrong and its a simple as that. Despite your flaming, i do agree totally with this comment. When i see a Mo/W i always expect an automatic spike healer. Reason? thats the only part a Mo/W can play. Bonetties defense.. so your telling me instead of kiting damage your gunna stand there and depend on 3/4's dodging ability? sorry but that will not work. Mo/Mes, Mo/N, even E/Mo (even though i dislike that build because as said before more energy doesnt equal more heals, just more wiggle space. I can easily spam heals all day with my Mo/Mes.) Mo/mes, Mo/N easily are superior to any Mo/W

So for this build, i say thanks for the input but your "OMG IM A BETTER HEALER THAN ANY MONK WITH MY E/Mo" could have been left out. When it comes down to it a good healer consists of timing, foresight (predicting how damage will spread), and reaction time. Those 3 things separate a good healer/booner from a bad one.

you're wasting an entire character on this if you have 8 man, actually your party is missing out a nuker which are pretty hard to find, 2 monks should be enough to heal and can outheal an ele. look at GvG ele's, they have Heal Party to support their monks but can still do so damage, and that's smart thinking, this built just isn't working Correction, this build is stupid. Have fun with it in Ascalon cause that's as far as it will go.

Correction, this build is stupid. Have fun with it in Ascalon cause that's as far as it will go. I think a GvG E/Mo can get up to Kryta.

You were joking about ether lord, right? .. Right? Sorta...yes and no. I was just too tired atm to think of another energy recovery skill, and in hindsight almost anything would be better. I'm currently working on a GvG balanced build for my guild though, so I'm kinda out of it (dual smite is getting boring).

I would suggest that you stop talking at this point because every serious PvP monk is laughing in your face buddy.

First off, I would like to know this "well-known pvp monk's" IGN and what guild they monk for. Then I will look up the guild on the Guild Wars Ladder and almost surely see a rank above 750 because if you even think of bringing a Mo/W into GvG you will die, fast and easily. The other team might spike you really quickly to end ur pathetic excuse for monking, or they will just attack and not even worry about you because they know you suck and cant do anythng to keep your team alive. Why? u ask. Because:

a. your wasting energy on USELESS STANCES
b. they can attack through you because you have no energy management skill and you WILL run out of energy
c. you suck because you chose Mo/W as a monk who's job is to keep ur team up.

Now, about the QZ thingy, I have been doing HA and bringing a ranger with QZ and EW. QZ to cancel out the EW if they drop it and EW to cancel out the QZ if they drop it.

No, to say that infuse health is terrible is wrong (i always play sb/infuse in tombs) because i save people nonstop with infuse, even if it isnt a spike team, when your ally is sitting at 30 HP, infuse saves him. Against spikes infuse pwns, and in general infuse pwns.

I recommend everyone who monks in PvE and thinks they are an awesome monk to simply bite their tongue and not try to contribute to anything in this thread, because you arent sh*t. Sorry to say it but PvE monks require no skill or knowledge of what to do in certain situations because all you see is 8 red bars dropping down, so you heal them. GG nubs thats not what a good monk does. Anyone wanna argue this? fine pm me in game but dont embarrass urself on a messageboard saying that a freakin MONK WARRIOR is superior to a Monk Mesmer, because ur wrong and its a simple as that. I didn't tell you this though that this would be for third man back up infuser and this build came from a reputable PvP player who plays nothing except PvP.I wouldn't say something like this and I did post this in the Gladiator forums and someone was very impressed with it.I have seen a few guilds in observer mode use this build and it works just fine even in a 2 man Monk teams and don't forget the more energy you have is sometimes a bad thing and less is better even at 30 it recharges a lot faster.This would be differenet if we were talking about maintianed enchants as you need enough energy to maintian those and useing someting like MoR which itself use 10 energy don't forget.I have seen top guilds use shield and sword to get thier energy up but then agian it looks like the HoD sword.that you can still get in PvP.
