for starters, monk/war is the worst build ever.....now war/monk is much better. because the first profession u choose will define the armor u can wear. if u pick monk as ur first, then u will have the worst armor in the game, an since u will be a warrior (fighting up close) u will get massacred with monk armor.
but if u choose war/monk then u can have the same skills but u can use the warrior armor, which is the best armor in the game an u will be best protected than with monk armor.

Don't spread false information, please. There is no worst build. And a W/Mo is NOT a better choice than a Mo/W. They are two different things.
A Mo/W is great for a healer, and a W/Mo is great for a tank. I've played them both all throughout beta and you can not substitute one for the other. They are designed completely different, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Mo/W also make good tanks and high damage dealers if used right. You just have to know what skills to use and how to play the game. Experiment a little.
Even as noobs mo/w aren't bad. You can run healing breeze eternal, and it takes quite a large horde to take you down
Had fun yesterday, with my shorty mo/w in newbie arena. Everyone thinks you're an easy target! Mostly everyone started running after a sec though... Lucky I have sprint Necromancers and mesmers are your worst enemy though! I had purge conditions charging almost non-stop
the protector premade PvP only char is a mo/wa and very effective. about the only thing i do is drop the rez for healing signet (since it is easy to get) and you are rocking!
Can you guys give me some tips on how to build a good monk/wr build. Where i should put my points and stuff.
