I'm having some trouble keeping my damage dealing warrior alive with monks around. I have 75k platemail armor with a sundering wingblade sword of fortitude and a eternal sheild.My armor also has a superior vigor and superior asborption. This happens in the Ring of Fire missions and im fully infused.

Well, you need to give us a bit more help here. The information doesn't really let us know why you are dying.

But I'll be general:

Try not to aggro so many groups. Just because you have good armor, and have superior runes, doesn't mean you are going to survive every battle in a pve. You have to play smart. You have to know when to back off.

The skills you bring is very important. Having a distraction blow, or something of the like can be life saving.

If you plan on using conditions, ie. sever artery, don't think that will help you a lot in these missions. I would advise using an axe for distraction blow and executioner's strike. Or hammer, for knock downs.

And being infused is a given if you're in Ring Of Fire, unless you changed your armor.

are you running a piece of knight's armor? That -2 damage reduction is very important, it should give you an extra 100 or so life each fight with a mob (depending on mob classes). Also, if you run a collector's tactics shield with +45 life/-2 damge reduction, that will help also... and BTW, you only need 1 piece of knight's armor for the damage reduction...

Putting points into tactics will also help your survivability, the 75% block/evade stances are rediculous in pve, especially if you rotate them (glad defense/shield stance/bonnetti's defense is all you should need). If you are actually taking all the aggro, it might be worthwhile to go /ele and run armor of earth, or /monk and shielding hands. If you can get your monks to put a spellbreaker on you as you run into a mob, that will also help, especially if the mobs cast things like firestorm.

naaaah id just blame it on the monks. if i were you, i would start flaming them as soon as you die. copy like a speech about their mental capacities so like as soon as you die you can press ctrl + v and be like PWNED.

watch them defend themselves by saying OMG DRAINED. that would be great.

take a screenshot of that if you do it
