Erm, if your new to the game do not worry about builds just yet.

Play the game from the start, do quests, obtain skills. Have a look which you think will be beneficial.

If your in pre-searing, take Monk secondary to help keep you alive. Most classes have ways to keep themselves alive, just utilise what you have.

And there is always the chance of monk healing as well!!

But just dont worry about builds yet, just play through. Dying is a part of this game, we all do it occasionally.

There's no one build out there that will make you god. You will die with any build.
As far as a specific build, it's all trail and error. Tank builds use high tactics and stances to survive.
Being a warrior/monk I would suggest...three to four stances, live vicariously, vigorous spirit, and a rez to start.
10 healing - 9 weapon attribute - max out tactics - rest in strength. Use a shield that gives bonuses in a stance.

You could also check the Campfire forum here on guru for a build with more specifics

The warrior sub-forums located in this forum are a good place for you to start if you want to view solid builds, how they work and what their intended purpose is.

If you're dying more than you think you should head over to the warrior section and check out the self-heals and buffs they use.

But I don't think the build is your problem.

There is no such build. If you're playing with a team, you need that teams help. If you want to be a solo farmer...again, check the sub-forum in Campfire for farming warrior builds.

On Tanks: Dorlak signet, armor buff skills (ex: mesmer Physical/Elemental resistence) evasion stances and shouts (ex: watch yourself) are staples to most tanks. "Tanks", however, are not mobile (a requirment for a melee character) or particualarly effective since the gear exploit was abolished.

There is no "taunt" skill in GW that allows warriors to hold agro for the team anymore.

If your monks are dying a lot then you have agro issues. Monsters are not targetting you first, are not staying targetted to you long enough or are not dying fast enough. These are skills that have to be learned. You can't buy them from a trainer.

Tanks need to be first in and able to survive while all agro from all mobs focuses on them. It is only after agro has established on the warior that your team should be coming in to assist. If you are being too timid or your team is charging in at your side, then yes, your monks will take agro early, mobs will cast their most powerful spells on them instead of you and they will die...leaving you without backup.

Bodyblocking is an important first step to proper tanking. you see henchmen do it regularly (though poorly) when they try to run around a corner to kill one target only to get "stuck" on the wall with half a dozen other mobs blocking their way.

The difference between you and the hench is that you have the brains to switch targets and kill the monster that is in your face instead of continuing to try finding a way around. More distinct, since you have effectivly blocked the mobs from your team, you are in a position to keep them from your team. Thats what "tanks" do.

Warriors, on the other hand, bodyblock and use their powerful weapons to kill those mobs quickly and decisivly. Accepting that they are not invulnerable, warriors seek to end battles quickly by overpowering heals with the highest DPS (damage per second) in the game. They use Knockdown and snare skills (ex: Hamstring) to cripple their targets if and when agro breaks, so that smart team members with low armor (like your squishy monk) can kite (run away) from the thing that is killing them.

I found these two articles very helpful on the art of tanking:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=103538
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=132119

rather then handing yme a cookie cutter build, they helped me understand the class itself a bit better

Look around the Warrior build forum first, and if you still can't find anything then make a thread there. Closed.
