It sounds like you're looking to make a sub-par paladin, try this:

"Sub-par Paladin"
Monk/Warrior

8 Healing Prayers
8 Protection Prayers
8 Smiting Prayers
7 Swordsmanship
10 Tactics

(That's base attributes, add whatever runes you want, since they don't really matter much when you have such an awsome build!)

1. Power Attack (Strength)
2. Sever Artery (Swordsmanship)
3. Riposte (Tactics)
4. Healing Signet (Tactics)
5. Heal Other (Healing Prayers)
6. Symbol of Wrath (Smiting Prayers)
7. Shielding Hands (Protection Prayers)
8. Dolyak Signet (Strength)

Equipment: Req 7 Sundering Crystalline Sword of Fortitude, req 10 or better Eternal Shield, use this to kill stuff and to tank. +15 -1 energy regeneration wand and +27 -1 energy regeneration focus, use this when casting and when you need energy. Full tatoo armor, since you need the energy.

With this equipment combo, you'll do a ton of damage cause of sundering and low req sword, and you'll have the most energy you can ever have(unless you're part rit!).

Tactics:

Spam Power Attack for extra damage. It helps alot!

Use Sever Artery to make people degen to death, Bleeding makes people loose like 6 health per second!

Try to keep Riposte up. This way Warriors can't hurt you much!

Use Healing Signet for a self-heal, it heals a TON(115 health!!!), and it costs no energy, so more for your allies!

Use Heal Other to heal other people who are low, it'll heal them for 112 or more, and you have uber energy, so you can spam it if you need.

Cast Symbol of Wrath to kill people while you attack them. It just plain owns people.

Use Dolyak Signet when people are attacking you, and you are low on health. This will surely make them pick another target, because no Knockdown and + armor makes you almost invincible!

Use Shielding Hands when anyone is taking alot of damage. It's best on allies, but you can use it on yourself with Dolyak Signet to make Paladins hit you for nearly 0!

Now, for targeting, hit "C" and then "Spacebar." This is the best way to kill stuff, as it's smartest to kill tanks first, they'll never know what hit them and will bleed to death before they can run.

As you can see, this is the best build for everything, I'm just supprised you don't see Top Guilds running it because it's so good(Maybe they're keeping it a secret to beat EvIL!!). Don't tell too many people though, keep the awsomeness between us!

Note: The above post is a joke, and the build and tactics are for the most part god awful. I say again; This build, like the original post, is a joke, however, this was actualy intended as one, while the original post most likely wasn't...

So, now that we're done laughing at that horrible build, here are some things to think about kingsyco:

Why are you playing a monk? Monks are best suited for Healing people, Protecting people, or Smiting off people. They're just not good melee damage dealers, due to low armor, and the fact that Warriors are far better at it, and in fact, Warriors are built for it. You are not. If you want to do damage as a monk, you should be an AoE smiter, and should be a midline charactar who is mostly smiting off of a Warrior. You should never be up front like a Warrior, ever.

Why do you have a secondary as a Warrior? It's really not that good, unless you're 55 farming. I'd reccomend you switch it to Mesmer, so you have access to things like Inspired Hex, Distortion, Hex Breaker, Mantra of Recall [Elite], Energy Drain [Elite], the usage of these, should depend on which build you pick, this means you don't want some in certain builds.

Either be content with playing a squishy caster that doesn't kill things, and instead keeps people alive or helps your Warrior kill things. If you're still intent on killing things, please play a Warrior.

roll, or copy, the premade AOE smiter monk. Find a warrior, a good one preferrably (I reccomend inviting the first w/e you see in AB, if he uses eviscerate you're golden). Put up zealot's fire. cast aoe/rof/guardian over and over again. you get to damage things, but you don't look like a moron.

congrats!

With the premade W/E (that already has Eviscerate), you still might get a crappy player.

The sad thing is that I've still seen the old W/Mo premade (or similiar) in ABs and RA. It makes me sad when people actively try to suck...

Whenever I'm a monk I just heal, but since thats boring I made a PvP touch ranger, they're fun

...and totally owned by my Assassin.

Hehe i hear that. Touch rangers although effective, cant touch a well played sin. haha no pun intended. but mo/w? try using smite skills with a shield and sword secondary weapon set.
