Don't Any Monks Know How to Play Anymore?

This screenie demonstrates how little some PvEers know about keeping a party alive. IMO the way some PvE monks play, their build would work a lot better if they were E/Mo healers.*gasp*

Am I the only one who's surprised that someone got 4 monks for their PUG in PvE? Usually teams struggle to get even 2. Which mission/quest was this and on which server? And I won't be surprised if some of them were smiters.

This thread needs to be renamed.

I suggest; 'Don't retarded Warriors cover their own asses anymore?'

4 monks and none with hex/condition removal, sounds like a grab 8 and go
there are alot of newbie monks out there, then again there are alot of lvl20 newbies playing whatever profession, that's the curse of PvE PUGs
If you would have bother to read (or comprehend) the rest of the thread, you would have noticed that there are people here who think EVERY monk not carrying hex removal is a bad monk. My post was directed at those people, not as much at the OP. I said many posts above that when you have 4 monks in party, one SHOULD carry hex/condition removal.

My advice: Read the thread before calling other people idiots. There's some danger that people might think YOU're the idiot otherwise....

You can say I'm a horrible monk but I've won, and won easily every where. I won in Thunderhead as the only monk and alone in the Ring of Fire as well.

I've never lost a mission twice and the only mission I ever lost pre-ascension was the one with the Vizier at the boat because I didn't realize that the Vizier would be surrounded if I finished the bonus. I've never used guides for missions because I think it takes away from the game so there was no way for me to know. I promise you the next round he never took a scratch.

I hate braggarts and I don't want to be one but conditions don't kill in this PvE game, I wish they did.

I always brought hex removal, because I was a mesmer secondary, but any mesmer can take that and benefit at the same time they help the team.

I could play your way and still win but it'd take longer and would be less fun for me. If the game was even a little bit difficult on the PvE side then this thread would mean a little more.

Even if you really feel there's a need and you can't take care of yourself in an area then you should ask and not assume that someone is bringing something or call them a jerk for not bringing it.

Is this a forum about bad monks or Trackballs?

Its funny when someone says that monks are bad people jump to thier defense. But when people talk about warriors its all fun and games.

Thats because most warriors suck just as hard or worse. Yes, a poor monk can slow down the progress yelling for more energy, or can have a rotten attitude, but I dont think its anywhere near as often that the monks go all LEROY and kill the entire party..

Hey if it works for them I see no prob with it. I myself wouldn't use such a setup but then again I am not them. Just as long as they do their job I have no probs. Different strokes for different folks.

Alright, this thread has gone on long enough and it's going every which way now. Closed.
