Nemesis Furiae is my PvP healing monk/el build. will probably change her to a monk/mesmer.

edit: yep, changed her to a mo/me. she's a PvP monk, but when we go retail i'll probably build her up from PvE. in the PvP i did last wkend at least i was the main healer. the group that we got to HoH with (or rather would have, but with less that a minute left, and almost everyone on the other team dead, the BWE ended. BAH!) had one primary healer, one primary protector and one "bait" that used smiting with a warrior secondary. wish i could remember the names of the others, they were good, especially for a PUG.

am already in a guild, but i'll tomb with just about anybody. i do like to play other builds and not always be the healer, but for some reason there's just too few good healers so i have to play her more often than not. actually, i went and looked at Ensign's monk post and my build is almost exactly that, but i didn't think to use channelling (should have) and had energy tap instead and healing touch instead of healing seed since i seemed to get targetted early on as easy kill. with the mesmer secondary there were very little times where i would be completely with out healing potential for long.

we're changing guildname come retail, and don't have a site yet.

Thumpy · Apr 13, 2005, 09:21 PM // 21:21

I will be playing a healing monk. My secondary is going to be warrior so i can stay alive a while to get heals off.

I will be joining a guild of freidns but would be happy to join another group if they might be in need and i am not busy. Hopefully can get the name Thumpy, do not yet have the game but for sure am gonna get it. (preordered it just a bit ago) Planning on being PvP. If my ingame name is any different then this post i will make a new or edit this post. Send me a tell if you need me, just mention u saw my name on the Monk Census.

Thnx,
-Thumpy

Zyraki · Apr 18, 2005, 10:03 AM // 10:03

I'm Played a Monk / Elemental in this last BWE, but will prob choose Monk/Necromancer as my main once released.
Character Name is: Zyraki Nadoos

funbun · Apr 19, 2005, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Name: Priestess Tonia
Type: PvE only
Primary: Healer/Smiter
Secondary: Elementist (fire)
Weapon of Choice: Customized Holy Staff
Guild: Sisters of Charity (SoC)

I reached level 8 during the last BWE. I mostly just healed others completely their missions. I may change to Mo/R. It would be nice to have a pet to use as a tanker.

Mo/Me would be could to get more anti-buffs and to increase energy levels.

Nudge · Apr 19, 2005, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I will have both a PvP and PvE version of myself, named Nudge Fellenglade. I'm solely a healer, (12 healing 12 divine favor), and my strongest healing attribute is energy recovery, using two different spells that make space for more energy.

Kha · Apr 19, 2005, 09:33 PM // 21:33

I will have a monk. I'm not sure if it will be PvE/PvP or PvP only. Depends on character slots and if I still plan to play my other characters first. But my monk will probably keep the name Not The Monk, so if you need someone to group with just look me up

The Human Torch · Apr 19, 2005, 09:40 PM // 21:40

I tend to go back and forth between two healing monk variations-El/Mo and Mo/Wa. The elementalist version has over 100 energy and things like aura of restoration to heal me while I heal others. The Mo/Wa uses the warrior's defensive stances to help me survive in close combat and the primary monk lets me use divine favor, which is a nice complement to my healing. For the actual release of the game, look for The Human Torch, my El/Mo that I plan on switching between elementalist focus and monk focus whenever needed (I <3 attribute refunds). Because I'll need lots of quest completions for this to work, I plan on playing an even balance of PvP and PvE after I ascend. I'm currently looking for a semi-serious PvP guild with a good amount of members that doesn't require teamspeak (unless they can explain to me how to get it and make it work). Let me know if I fit your criteria!

Juhanah · Apr 19, 2005, 10:52 PM // 22:52

• Nickname..: First name is always Juhanah (unless i play warrior)
• Character name..: Juhanah Hajar
• PvE, PvP, or balanced?: PvE
• Would you serve as the main healer..: healing and protection are my main attributes. I can keep a party alive easily as long as they don't play kamikaze. In that case, having a secondary healer is apreciated

• If you don't have a guild..: I got a small guild with my friends.
• If you have a guild..: Name is Na Rak tag is [NrK](will maybe change when the game is out)

Optional information, such as:
- Your secondary profession..: illusion Mesmer, Mostly used when i solo or when no one need healing.
- The focus(es) of your healing build(s)..: Keeping the party alive.

When the game will be out, i plan of staying in pre-searing Ascalon until i finished every quest there is to do.
I am also not the kind of person who run through mission avoiding most fight to finish it faster. I usualy take my time and kill every monster there is to kill and doing side quest if i'm able to.

Sometime i got yelled at because i wasn't attacking monsters. If i'm not attacking it's because i'm watching the party window and healing people. If no one needs heal, then i will attack.

Beside that, If i get called by a friend and we're in a mission, you can be sure i will finish the mission before joining my friends. I'm not the kind of leaving a mission in the middle... unless i solo. But even then i usualy finish the mission anyway.

So you can call me in game when you need help(not the kind of help such as "gibme wempot or i wan mooney").
If you recieve no answer, just keep calling me i will answer eventualy.

..Oh and i'm french so just forget about my bad english. I play on American world even tho i'm french..(and i'm not from France but from Canada)

lVlercenary · Apr 20, 2005, 02:33 AM // 02:33

Well... here ya go

-Character: Trono Kensen

-Play Style: Starting out with PvE only untill I reach the higher levels and then i will think about PvP.

-Focus: I play mainly a main healer type of character, focusing on Healing spells with a few energy management spells thrown in for when times get tough.

- Guild: Currently in the Dynasty Knights Guild (name may change for final release), but I an fully willing to party with just about anyone when I am free.

-Secondary Profession: In the last beta event I played as a mesmer secondary and enjoyed it so will probably stick with that.

So there it is, my Healer in a nutshell.
Peace

r0tc0d · Apr 24, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

I'm pretty new to the forums and to GW, so hello!

• Character name: Rotcod
• Balanced, I'd like to PvP once I get used to GW.
• I'd like to be the main healer, running around frantically trying to keep everyone alive... I love doing that in games. I'd also like to have some mesmer skills so I can steal energy and disrupt.. or maybe necromancer... I don't know yet.
• I'm in a guild, but I'd love to group with anyone willing.
• Servants of the Shrub ... We aren't really offcially a GW guild, but several of its members are getting GW so I have to maintain some loyalty to my 2 year guild from Star Wars Galaxies.

funbun · Apr 24, 2005, 12:10 PM // 12:10

I'm thinking about going Mo/Me or Mo/R for release.

I would like Mesmer as a secondary just for the energy management. I like Ranger for Wilderness survival skills.

In other words, I plan to make my character a healer/general support character either of these 2 secondaries would do that.

Denez · Apr 24, 2005, 02:53 PM // 14:53

full healer pvper monk here sir

mo/wa..

Sgt Allen · Apr 24, 2005, 03:00 PM // 15:00

• Character name: Savior of Souls Mo or Mo/Me
• PvE
• Being a main healer would be fine
• Dont have a guild, may shop around, not intently looking for one though
• Also, if i am not on my healer i will be on my tank (sgt allen w/mo) and you can contact me there, i may not start up my monk until the second or third day of official release

Empirism · Apr 24, 2005, 03:16 PM // 15:16

when all else fails, you can take Archon Soul within

for love of healing and this is the best reward what healer can get!

Laz · Apr 24, 2005, 05:09 PM // 17:09

well i have two monks a necro/monk and a monk/necro lol. I am a dedicated healer when i use monk necro but i still can do some soloing and i use wells/summoning whenever someone dies. I love monks and they def. have the coolest dance and flex

Ivniciix · Apr 25, 2005, 07:00 PM // 19:00

My "main" monk is Caduceus Hippocrati. In the last beta event, I was running him as a monk/ranger...not for the pet or bow, althought I used them some, but rather for to try out some of the wilderness survival skills-like speed boost.

However, I didn't really get a chance to use them much and did no PvP which was my reason for checking out those skills. PvP survivability is a subject of much concern to me. I've still not decided what secondary profession will most enhance this for me.

It seems to be almost a "rock-paper-scissors" conundrum. Take some speed skills and you'll get "hamstrung", made lame or frozen. So you need skills to break/end conditions as well which takes ability points away from the evasion skills and also your healing.

Alternatively, a monk can take a mesmer secondary to keep his energy up and hope to heal himself long enough for his teammates to finish off his attackers. But without some speed/movement enhancement to "spread out" the attackers, the monk will be subject to both caster and melee attackers simultaneously so and thus potentially lose the advantage extra energy gives him much more quickly.

As you can see, I'm keenly aware that a monk's role in PvP is not simply to be the healer. Rather I hope to devise some tactic(s) that turn his seeming vulnerability and status as the "first" target into an advantage for the rest of my team. This can best be accomplished by surviving, either by escaping damage or being able to take much more damage than the attackers expect. Either way, the goal is to allow my team to kill the attackers while they are focused on killing me.

Knowing which secondary accomplishes this best for me will likely have to wait until I get close to level 20. Some of the variables I'm unsure of yet are: 1) how much ability I'll need to stick in some skills to make them effective against casters using their primary skill sets to attack me, 2) how long do I need to survive in order for my teammates to kill off enough of the opponents to ensure victory, 3) how much can I spread out my abilities and still have my healing high enough to be effective.

There is more of course and the answers can only be approximate since any choices I make will work better against some opponent build mixes and less well against others. Which is why I started out by saying my "main" monk. I fully expect that I'll need more than one to be truly effective against different guilds.

• Character name, preferably your healer, that you will sustain in-game (and not delete right away) so people can contact you. Also, any additional contact information you want posted.
Phaedrus Jubatus

• PvE, PvP, or balanced?
Balanced, generally geared toward PvE.
My main build is a Mo/R right now for traps and rituals. When I'm going PvE I tend to take an animal too if the area's under level 25.

• Would you serve as the main healer or are you more geared towards support healing and some extra function (please specify your other function)?
Primary healer, though my build easily allows support healing and heal chains. I'll stock up on protection if we don't have a protection monk, but I'm pretty much just full of heal.

• If you don't have a guild, are you looking for a guild or just a party every once and a while?
No guild, but I'm always up for helping.
