Monks and Wands ? - Guild Wars Forums

Alkarzar · Jun 15, 2005, 03:29 PM // 15:29

I have been playing a Monk for awhile now, I dont mind that every so often you will come across a group that doesn't understand having a monk on your team means you are invincable and if you die the only reason for that would be the monks fault ... I dont even mind that I can't go afk for 5 mins in a town without being bombarded with messages "JOIN MY TEAM PLEASEEEEE" ... I dont mind not attacking and just healing, its why I became a monk.

However, I have not come across one wand in the game that is aimed at monks to use. I am up to my head in Holy Staffs but I want to use the protective icon I have, I just dont have a want to go with it that doesn't require some attribute from another class.

So my question is this, are there any wands made for monks ?

...or are they forced to have a secondary class and put some attribute points into a attribute they dont really want so they can use a wand.

Any help would of course be greatly appreciated and if this has been posted before I am sorry but I can't find any topics relating to this using the god like search button.

There is no heal/protect based rod so far as i know. so you need to choose between divine and smite.

I can't see any Divine/Protect based rods on there, only staffs.

I am looking for rods, one handed weapons for monks.

There are Smiting Rods and if I'm not mistaken Holy Wands. Here are the stats on a collector smiting rod:

Light Dmg 11-22 (req 9 smiting Prayers)
Improves skill recharge useing smiting Prayers Skill (chance 20%)

Holy wands are rare, but I'm sure that there is a collector for them.
