Hello,

I'm just asking for some experienced builds for a warrior/monk. I dont really know any good builds but if ud tell me the skills and the attribute points list thatd be great.

PvE is an absolute breeze, and if you're choosing warrior/monk, prepare to be invincible. I'd say above all invest in an absorption rune right off the bat. Then after that, just put most of your point into your weapon (Swords/axes work well for PvE), then healing prayers, and finally strength. There's nothing too specific, but I'd say vigorous spirit/live vicariously will both really help you. Having both of these activated at level 12 healing will give you 22 health a swing, and combine that with frenzy/berserker and you'll have no problem staying alive. Healing breeze is also fantastic. I'd sometimes carry both breeze and orison of healing, not for myself but for monk assistance.

The difference between PvE and PvP is that you can make the enemies in PvE attack the warrior, so a really good self-protecting warrior with a bow to draw enemies in helps a lot. Make sure the rest of your party is out of your aggro bubble, draw in a group of enemies and have your party attack them while you are taking damage for them. With that objective in mind, this is a really good PvE warmo build (also works for farming):

equipment: best sword or axe you can find, tactics collector's shield from north of ramp rankor, best armor and absorption and vigor you can get (only gloves from knight's/ascalon set), superior tactics, minor weaponry, minor strength, weaponry linked helm.

Base statistics:
11 smiting
10 weaponry
10 tactics

Skills:
Symbol of wrath
Zealot's Fire
Gladiator's Defense [E]
Shield Stance
Heal Sig
Watch Yourself
Fear Me
For Great Justice

Most of the damage is from spamming adrenal skills with a zealot's fire on, since zealot's fire triggers off of warrior's shouts, non-attack skills, and stances. Symbol of Wrath is for PvE for additional point-blank AoE damage. When under attack, cast Gladiator's Defense first, then Shield Stance when Glad's defense runs out, then gladiator's defense again. By the time all that runs out and you are stancless, most of the mob should be dead.

Smiting >>>> Healing for Warmos in general. In general, you should be able to get a monk to heal you, or use defensive stances and healsig. Even if you don't trigger zealot's fire off of warrior shouts and stances, you can still run strength of honor or judge's insight for big damage buffs. While healing or protection might be good for pve, smiting is tons better, especially for pvp.

I'd say smiting > Healing ALL the time, not in general. The healing capabilities of Healing Prayers is semi-efficient for warrior use since you do get a lot more for it then say a W/N in blood magic, however, the warrior's self heals in Victory is Mine! {E} or Healing Sig is all you really need when Smiting does a massive amount for it's cost. Smiting = many dead enemies = less healing needed.

So yeah, Smiting W/Mo is a sign of non-noobness. Too easy it is to make a W/Mo with self-heal only to discover it either takes too long to kill a mob, or the mob rips you in half in a second.

Thankfully, I use Mark of Pain for my W/N so mobs don't last long against me either

Yep, I'd take a good defensive stance over a self-heal any day of the week.
