You're dead in seconds. Starting with a monk primary... having NO form of selfheal...
All that build will do for you is put up new records in dying. In either PVP or PVE you're the top priority target and if i see a monk running up at me with a hammer... thank you for the frag.
Atleast bring some evasion stances or something like that.

Kamp here is right, unless u running some kinda all monk team u gonna get fried out there, a w/mo is a better way to go but just has less energy. Atleast you wont die as much!

I suspect you'd have more success as a w/mo, trading Backbreaker and Strength of Honor for Devastating Hammer and Hammer Bash. Smite Hex would be a good idea too.

I'm currently toying around with a Mo/W that'll make use of Holy Strike. You need ways to up your armor so that you don't die. Charging in with an armor level of 60 (or even 70 vs physical from the Censor's armor) is not enough. Watch Yourself! and assorted Protection Prayers are good options, but you'll probably need to combine more than one skill to keep yourself alive, as you will be an often-targetted Monk primary. Good luck Let us know if you can make it work in the arena.
