I know for monks, swapping out your weapons is extremely common and useful. What weapon sets are commonly used or very helpful?

Assasin Foxx · Jul 13, 2009, 06:48 AM // 06:48

I use the Following For Healing in GvG

Set#1 - 40/40 Healing Set
Set#2 - +30/-2 High Set
Set#3 - 20/40 Staff or -5 Low Set
Set#4 - Defensive Set With all the shields|armor 10 vs xxxx|

Hope this Helps

Advice given to me, could be wrong at this point in time, but... here ya go

Prot staff - 40 HCT/20 HSR + 20% enchant

40/40 heal wand + focus

Defensive (+5/30 spear with +30 shields vs damage types. Anti cripple/ armor vs fire/cold/earth/slashing blah blah)

High set (+15/-1 wand and focus).

*shrug*

I would also add a -5 e/+15% spear too for an even lower energy set.

This is good advice. With the Ether Phantom/Drain Dellusions mesmers in the GvG meta at the moment, you want to have to ability to swap to as low energy as possible.

agreed for a standard WoH/Patient bar, however if you're playing pure Prot, such as RC, than the 40/40 heal set should be switched to something else.

and yes, I somewhat agree with the posts below this, so again 2 options:
for WoH/Patient bar, make the defensive set 15/-5 instead of +5
for RC(or other Prot) bar switch the 40/40 heal for a low energy set, can also use a negative energy focus item here.

If running divine healing, deny hexes, PnH, etc I just change it to a 40/40 divine set lol

3) 40/40 heal, prot or divine set.
4) high heal or prot set.

Don't forget to grab a -50 health item and a vampiric weapon, preferably one with 15-1hp regen so you have 2 degen.
For those times people try to save you for after the timer, you can kill yourself fast and baserez.
Any smart team will snare a retreating monk and kill it after the 2 minute mark.

kedde · Jul 20, 2009, 12:10 PM // 12:10

Having things like +60-3 hexed and +60 staves for fighting pure degen or etc. is also a noteworthy thing.
