Default Why are there so many W/Mo's? I found the answer!

From the Canthan Timeline on guildwars.com


http://guildwars.com/theworld/cantha/story/timeline.php

511 CC Prince Chang Hai, a Warrior Monk, becomes first Ascendant emperor of Cantha.

They all want to be the next Ascendant emperor of Cantha.
Duh!

That isn't lore. The reason is the manual's always tell new players to try Warrior Monks. <_>

Now THIS is my kind of thread!

Good work

I noticed Emperor Kisu is a Ritualist/Mesmer. Maybe he farms Raisu Palace with Vengeful was Kisu?

Hmm there was another reason why there are so many W/Mo. Theres a pic of it somewhere in the forums. Its a merged statue between Balthazar and Dwayna (showing Balthazar with wings). I guess they saw this as inspiration. It is also the inspiration for Mo/E to bring firestorm ftl.

A true warrior never leaves home without mending, healing breeze, vigorous spirit, and healing hands/defy pain. any warrior seen without these skills should be ashamed of themselves.

Why are there so many W/Mo's?

It's elementary and no research required:

-W/Mo's play similarly to the Paladin class, a staple of other fantasy based games.

-W/Mo's is a solid profession mix for the first-time player and/or soloist, especially early on in the game. (high armor/self healing)

-Smears against W/Mo's are primarily generated by people who scoff at the unoriginality of the profession combination.

Curiously, when the masses condemn you for being unoriginal, then you can be effectively considered a "maverick".

Mending helps to cover their use of frenzy-Dolyak Sig-Heal sig (That's right, the wammos had to replace echo with a skill)

LOL, just as a note. A smiting monk could be considered a warrior monk as well.

Don't forget that to do that you must be a warrior with no helmet firing a bow.
