Default Ursanway for Monk

Yea, well ive tried to get to rank 7 Norn...NOT happening. Im tired of it so im moving to my monk because I know that Ursanway teams need two monks. So i want to know what kind of build, armor, insignia, runes, weapons, mods ...etc. I should use to heal an ursanway team. Also where would be a good place to farm with an ursan way team (I have not ventured far in GW:EN on my monk)...

EDIT: sry found the link but i still wanna know the armor and weapon mods i should use.

Ursans are in every difficult/farmable area...FoW/UW/Deep/Urgoz/DoA are the best though.

You shouldn't be really getting hit too much, so you could probably just run radiant insignias...Max armor would be nice as well, though I like Flowing Design.

As far as weapons, A casting weapon with 20% ench and a focus or a 20%ench staff would work well...

Ursan is easy

One option is to have each monk run as a Mo/Me with Arcan mimicry and 2 different elites. That way each can run HB and another elite heal. I don't monk Ursan but I have seen that work.

As mentioned above healing seed and seed of life are good skills too.

Healing Ribbon is nice too, and that will work Johny, but not usually in PuGs. Too much thought for ursan

I never had to bring them, typically I saw the ursans splitting the cost each bringing a few. But about the build, HB with Seed of Life/Healing Seed is the way to go as long as your team doesn't overaggro. As for equipment I run radiant with runes of minor Healing and Divine, Superior Vigor and some Attunement runes. Weapon sets include +5 energy Spear of Enchanting and a Sheild of fortitude which I rarely have to switch from, and a 20/20 wand with 20/20 focus. You could bring a High energy set if you felt you need it, but so far I have not.

Look for my guide http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10271214

It has all the answers and more. I myself am a R9 Norn Ursan Monk. Though Monk is not the best character for Ursanway, having 850+ health often makes me the better choice then the low ranked others.

There are Monk builds in my guide and there will be added some more skill suggestions soon. Places to farm will also be added.

Are you saying that I will probably not be chosen out of all the monks if i don't have a high rank norn title?(or any really ive never done GW:EN on my monk) If so ... Yes i did read that link, see my edit .I have most of the equipment and skills necessary and ill prob be going to do UW or FoW since i really only did factions with my monk...Didn't even finish that campaign anyways lol...

...what? Have you forgotten your profession? Last time I checked it was the group who had to beg for monks not the other way around. I started with 0 rank and always received a party invite within seconds (I only advertised for r8+). Dante you're the monk so your rank doesn't matter at all. If you're just trying to farm norn faction at the moment use this

I can't say I've ever encountered a situation where Rebirth was a better choice during the farms I went on.

I monk Norn farming all the time.

I have always bring

HB (a must!)
Glyph of lesser energy
Heal party
Seed of Life
Etheral Light
Dwaynes Kiss
Healing Seed
Rebirth

I have however noticed, that its better to bring Orisons healing then dwaynes kiss, because some monks are idiots and will not heal you. So you have to heal yourself, and you cant with that build. So Orison is for self preservation, and people wont wrong if you change that for Dwaynes kiss.

I run FULL survivor and a standard +30hp +15energy 20% enchantment 20 recast time staff. Works like a charm!

Never fail!

Ursan players are all about rushing and being better then the other one, so you can push them to go faster by screaming how weak they are, and how slow they are going. Kind of like how you push tough guys to do stupid stuff.

And its makes the run more fun, ask them once in a while if they lied and they are actually just R1 norn, since they sure hit as once..

Yep, ive added this information to my guide now as well. How to get high Norn title and stuff.
But if you are healing in the group, it is not needed to have a high Norn title. If you got to Domain of Anguish, I would suggest getting a high LB title.

yep Olafstead and join the ursanfarming groups there.

Ugh ... seems I suck at Ursanway groups. yelled at constantly and I was forced to rage quit in a UW group. It was pretty difficult, I tried to maintain HB, but a lotta ppl just rushed in and aggroed way to much..not sure what i should do, everyone acts like a leroy jenkins rushes in then blames me for stumbling one or two times when he dies..

Should i be spamming dwayna's kiss, healing seed, and etheral light a lot and heal party for when my entire team is having trouble?

BTW i am using stalwarts insignias and wayward wand/straw effigy (greens from factions) with 13 healing and 13 divine.

should get 14healing 12+1+1 then 12 in divine.

Heal Party is your TOP 1 move when all bars are dropping, if you see someone is taking damage alone, seed of life, seed of life is VEEERy good sometime.

Dwaynes kiss only if they are hexed or you maybe already cast an enchantment on them. If you see that dwaynes dont heal so much change it for Orison.

Keep HB up at all time, use glyph of lesser energy before you cast party heals or Healing Seed. Glyph all the time and use it only the big bars.

I would recommend Survivor or Radiant, I have no mana issues with full Survivor and and I got more survivability.
