Default 8 Monk HoH Build

This is a build that I've had in my head for a while, but just never got around to actually putting it down for viewing. It is an endurance build, with a little gimmick tied in.

Its true, there is absolutely no advantage in this case in using monks over warriors, apart from the fact that you can say "zOmg we r al monks!11"

The warrior can easily keep up the enchantments as the rest are adrenaline, but tbh with smiters just switch them find you need healing thenhealing signet does a much better job anyway

If you run warriors ,how about actually *gasp* _dropping_ the enchantments as they *gasp* totally suck.

Your monk/warriors are already doing wand-damage. Having flurry puts them on par with Gwen.

In all seriousness, only Rangers can really pull off a secondary Warrior, and the enchantments on your melee characters just don't make sense. In fact, the entire concept of your build (endure) would just mean you have a 30 minute zaishen match, and might actually get to the cow level.
