Most of those who play the Paladin build play it wrong as it is a supportive Warrior not an offencesive War.It jop is to defend the castors and help them out .I see nothing wrong with playing W/Mo in either PvP or PvE it depends on how you use them.The only Monk skill I use are mend ailment and restorelife on my W/Mo.

I guess you only see what you want to see. This is what I've just seen today. Many high ranked guilds use their warrior's secondary class, not for Tiger's Fury, Aftershock or Holy Strike true, but it is used.
Observe a 7 man War Machine (#4 at the time) win today with with CoP warriors. Observe Peace and Harmony (#8 at the time) run dual shock warriors. Observe no clue (#17 at the time) run a shock warrior. Empty Skillbars (#34 at the time) run dual plague touch. I've also seen War Machine run plague touch warriors before. Hell I've even seen the occasional use of Tiger's Fury, Storm Bearers (#21 at the time).

I have been on missions with plenty of W/Mo most of them we're pretty decent people. I think the whole think the amount of stupid ones is just a little exagerrated. I recently made a W/R. Who needs mending when there are plenty of substitute skills.

Monk has some nice options for energy management and and effective self healing. People who call W/Mo instantly noobs are noobs. The Monk line is deeper then mending and contains a decent amount of utility for use on someone who wants to hold aggro.
Additionally, I often play W/Mo with mending in CA for fun. It gets wins. If you build in energy management you can use mending to passively create decent healing in an environment that is low on enchantment removal (real noobs are people who goto CA without enchantment removal and could have, which is 95% of the people). Not saying it is l337, but I am saying it is decent utility.

I see more "noob" Ele's, Mesmers, Monks, etc., then W/Mo's.. But then, regardless of what class I'm playing at the time, I refuse to run in a group with more than 1 tank. So long as your tank knows how to control aggro, and the rest of the group knows how to let them do it, you only ever need 1 Warrior in your group for any quest or mission in PvE.
I've only ever been in one PUG that I didn't have to explain aggro and aggro control to.
Just one.
Sad.

Anyone who generalizes about a certain class shows a sure sign of being a nOOb themselves. I see this as a fast way to pick teams and leave out the people who do not have the experience to know the difference (theyre doing you a favour in a way). Ive read a million posts about how most players use W/Mo first etc etc but there are some pretty damn fine W/Mo's out there... this thread starter is one of em.
Ive been called a nOOb standing in random arenas only to be then asked by that person "hey dude where did you get that armour?" (FoW)...hehe whos the nOOb..you tell me

I have a warrior. I can't remember the last time I played her. Why? Because there's about a half million warriors for every one of anything else. I can't be bothered to waste 20 minutes trying to get on a FoW/UW run with my warrior, or any other run for that matter. I have a few secondaries for my warrior, but sometimes I get the impression that this was the dialogue inside the head of the people who created thier first character:
"Hmmm...lats si nwo. wuts this? warrier? ZOMFG WARRIER I GUNA SMAESH SUMTHING KOOOOOLLLLL!!!!11. KK, i got ax now and mneding alrite i gud 2 go."
And then they just played that character and that character alone. The other three character slots they own have collected a foot of dust. Now I think it's obvious that I'm being sarcastic here, but honestly, who needs to deal with the warrior deluge anyways? I just play my monk if I actually want to get anything done. Well...I've gotten a little off topic here.
The point is, as far as I can see, warriors are a dime a dozen, especially wammos, and it doesn't help that it's exactly the kind of choice you'd expect to see from a n00b 11 year old. My theory is that warriors in general (not just wammos) get a bad rep because there's just so many of them. It annoys people who've learned the tactical wisdom behind the necro, the ranger, or *gasp* even the mesmer, to see the million man march of wammos everywhere you turn.

Hehe, its just that PvP players especially get really annoyed with paladins in Random Arena. Obviously there are uses for Wammos, and not all are n00bish (bulls charge and bal aura is a nice combo for the record) but the vast majority actually think that Wammos are the best build in the world cos they can stay alive the longest. It is our juty then, to disaude ppl from using that annoying paladin build, as it is simply terrible. When somebody baits you over being a wammo, just try to convince them that you are in fact helping the tam with the monk secondary, not just helping yourself...

I think basically, the w/mo is probably the one of the best builds for starting out in GW. Therefore, there is likely to be more less experienced players using them, and hence when these less experienced players make a mistake, the w/mo seems to take the blame.
W/Mo....... is, somewhat useful for solo.. But id prefer a W/N over it anyday.. No doubt about it.
Meh, people are idiots... what do you expect..O.o
