How to make a Warrior Monk?

Hello.... I just needed a bit of advice. Im pretty set on making a warrior/monk. Ive played them and watched them being played and a like what I see, but as it turns out I can't make one just right. I want something that can take some damage, but also deal it out. I'm pretty sure i want it to be a sword warrior but im optimistic. I also need to know what skills I should use to boost my life or defense because there is always something wrong with my character. You can not begin to fathom how frustrating this process has become ,and I would greatly appreciate some advice... ty

Plenty of posts dealing about it there.

Hey Anomoly-RoTj! Welcome to the world of the warrior/monk. I've been playing the warrior/monk almost exclusively (I also have a ranger/mesmer). I may have to change to something else as I saw a recent post that said those two combo classes (w/mo and rang/mes) are probably going to be the two most popular classes in the game! oh well.

As a warrior 1st with a monk 2ndary, I've had great fun. I've followed a build I found in a the build forum. It's for a warrior to be good in the Tombs. I just kept playing and using sword skills (gash, sever artery, sprint and the other for adrenaline, and hundred swords). Then I use another set for monk skills - usually keep resurrection up, heal area for right now and lastly I've been using endure pain. But there are a few skills that I haven't unlocked yet. The PvP Paladin build is interesting too, but it's more focused on healing and keeping group members healed. I wanted something a little more....solitary.

There is no "best" build for a warrior/monk. There's what you want to play. Just keep that adrenaline up and use gash/sever artery in that order and you'll have success.

When the game goes live, I'll be happy to meet with you and play together to see how it goes. In the meantime, read and study about the builds, and you'll find one you like!

Good luck.
