What are the best wands, staves, and offhand weapons that you can get in Guild Wars? I'm a healing monk, and would like the weapons to have the best energy they can get. Also, what are the best Staff heads and wrappings you can get? Thanks!

Here's one way to go about getting the best weps

Go to

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Category:Monk_Bosses

and look at the items dropped section of the bosses. Check out the stats on the weps and figure out the ones you want. Then either try to farm for the weps, buy them in outposts from other players, or search for who is selling them in the Auctions section of this site.

You will want to find either a wand/focus combo or a staff that fits your needs.

Some of the better weps will have a "Collector Weapon Counterpart" section in the wiki which will tell you how to craft a facsimile.

Good luck!

Personally, for healing, I would use a staff with +60 Health or +5 energy and +30 Health. For protection I would use a staff with +5 Energy and Enchantments last 20% longer.

I would have to agree. I am an experienced monk that uses staffs for all of my attribute styles (Healing, Protection, Smiting, and yes Divine) and I have also tried using the wand and offhand and they just suck in my book if your looking for good results.

I think you might be from WoW or something. there is no "best" in GW. there are always different options depending on your playstyle and build. we need more info on your build to tell you what to do.

You didn't say which 'chapter' you are playing (Prophesies, Factions or Nightfall) and you don't say what level you are at. These have a major bearing on the equipment available to you. If, for instance, you have got as far as the Crystal Desert in Prophesies then you have some excellent collectors weapons and offhands available to you, with a little effort.

Lol, first of all, I have never played WoW. Second of all, I am a Monk/Mesmer, and have put all my attribute points into Divine Favor and Healing Prayers. Third, I have gotten as far as the Crystal Desert in the Prophesies campaign.

I wasn't sure what to use some of my Books of Secrets on at the end of NF, so I ended up getting one of the healing staffs which gives +20E (^50) and +30HP req9 healing prayers.
After checking all the collectors, the golds I'd got from chests etc, that around 25k for a Book was as cheap as making one (yes, I know some might say salvaged items are free... but finding a rq 9 healing staff, then the +5E, +30HP and the +5^50 mods was more hassle than its worth - especially with the # of chars I have ^.^).
As has already been said, there is no "best" as everyone wants something a little different and depends on your funds etc...HTH

Ahh just read back and saw you were in prophecies... well, unless you have a friend who can get you one of the items above, collectors would be the way to go, some decent items around in the desert.
