Lets show to the stupid warrior rushier / Fire ele tanker we dont need them, [put the other class here]!

i propose to form a group of 8 monks to finish all mission after desert (becouse the mission before ascension are easy doneable) and show the monks can save the world without other profession using only monks skill!

lishi · Aug 21, 2005, 11:25 PM // 23:25

and it will be lovely see the reaction of other pug when we type

Group with 7 monks look one more healer monk for doing mission + bonus

Reiden Argrock · Aug 22, 2005, 12:18 AM // 00:18

warriors can only rush because of monk secondary...

telarin · Aug 22, 2005, 12:39 AM // 00:39

big trouble when faced against a bunch of mesmer mobs...

lishi · Aug 22, 2005, 12:40 AM // 00:40

i havent said is easy

smurfhunter · Aug 22, 2005, 12:42 AM // 00:42

actually, i have done this before (once) in the sanctum cay mission... 6 monks with heal/prot stuff. it was incredibly amusing, but kind of boring....

and telarin the only mesmer mob i know of in pve is that one right in dreadnoughts drift on the forge run.. this crazy number of arcanists just sit there.

post ascension missions are mainly mursaat.

Flesh golems strip enchantments.

Yeah, but they'll have EIGHT monks. Do you have any appreciation of how hard it's going to be for the PvE mobs to kill off EIGHT? They can barely kill two...

Go monks!

Shouldn't be much of a challenge if you skill right. We won HoH with 8 Monks yesterday, so they can hold their own

lishi · Aug 22, 2005, 09:15 AM // 09:15

2 protector and 6 Healer/Smiter

i think no mob can resist to 6 baltazaar aura

Leddy · Aug 22, 2005, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Theres no way you can finish thunderhead with 8 monks. Arcanists and erm... bosses that you just simply can't deal enough damage to. Like that monk boss.

lishi · Aug 22, 2005, 10:25 AM // 10:25

no is possible

the arcanist can shatter enhacement and cause degen

but 6 healing monk cant heal the 2 person on first line? and there are always spell breaker and as monk there are smite hex , or remove hex

about the monk boss its easy

scourge healing and then sorround him with 6 baldazaar aura and sigil of wraith

in 10 second at smiting 12 are

(22 * 10 + 27 * 5) * 6

something about 2130

and scourge healing at 12 will do something about 67 damage each time he try to heal himself

this without using sup runes

Given the OP said post desert, you're probably right... But in the jungle, around a nice quiet lagoon, there are a few mobs of level 17 mesmers that would give 6 monks of level 12-15 a run for their money... (yes, I think they shatter enchant... and they cry too

)

Louis,

lishi · Aug 22, 2005, 04:14 PM // 16:14

on jungle 2 monk going to tank , 2 from behind cast balt aura. -> low lev mob -> low hp -> mob die

Age · Aug 22, 2005, 06:11 PM // 18:11

Two Warriors are ok though.My 2nd charactor is one.

At that point, , assuming you're like level 12, I am not sure you got either Zealot or Balth aura... (although you can try to get Balth aura at ToA.... which would be a nice adventure for level 12 guys: probably runable...but then, hey you can can run to Droknar too

).
Those lev 17 windriders also got cry of frustration and shatter enchant: you can carry dummy enchant to make room for Balth, but who knows if they're not going to counter your Balth

I do remember having Symbol of Wrath back then

I am not saying it's really tough... And you don't even have to go there... But it got some fun potential, and is a mesmer mob

Louis,

Numa Pompilius · Aug 23, 2005, 04:41 PM // 16:41

8 monks? Where's the challenge in that? They heal better than any other class, tank better than any other class and pack a punch second only to air eles.

No, I say do it with 8 mesmer-rangers (with pets)!

lishi · Aug 23, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

mhh its intersting
anyway im looking for volontar not if this is possibile

noblepaladin · Aug 23, 2005, 06:19 PM // 18:19

8 Monks is not a challenge. Sure there are enchantment strippers and mesmer enemies, but where have you seen packs of 8 of them? The reason why the "holy trinity" is popular is because there is virtually no place in the game where there are loads of mesmers screwing up the entire party. The only places that come to mind are the ones with Storm Riders, Wind Riders, Storm Kin, etc, but those enemies don't even travel in mobs. I can solo them with a warrior just fine, absorbing all the hexes, going down to very low health, but killing one of them before they can kill me and then heal up. With 8 monks you can spam enchantments so hard that they will never be able to remove them all (watch A.Net make a Nature's Renewal spammer). If you are going to take 8 of the same class, monks are the easiest ones to do it with. Against high level bosses, holy damage is the best as it ignores the boss's high armor. Warriors are the ones that can't cause a dent on healing bosses, but 2 or 3 Balt. Aura along with symbol of wrath and other smiting skills will probably kill it even faster than elementalists can. And this is just assuming that nobody brings secondary profession skills to fill the gaps.
