Wammo

A generally derogatory term for characters with the primary profession Warrior and secondary Monk. Often used as a synonym to describe a player who doesn't understand the basics of the game.

The term "wammo" comes from the phonetical pronunciation multi-class combination of W/Mo, or Wa-Mo, while the harsher version "whammo" carries a slightly more negative connotation. Whammo is derived from the sound "wham", which simulates the sound of a slammed door, implies the focus on brute force and lack of tactics and skill, a major concern with wammos.

This profession combination is no less effective than any other Warrior secondary, but the poor performance and relative commonality of the Healing Prayers Warriors have created a sour feeling around Warrior Monks. The stereotypical "whammo" using Mending is still a common joke among Guild Wars players.

Other running jokes include the following:


 * Wammos are known to congregate around bright lights or shiny objects


 * Wammos generally travel in packs


 * Wammos will usually wear big bright shiny armor sets


 * Wammos eat their young


 * Wammos worship Mendy, god of mending

other kinds of Wammos include:


 * R/E that spam flare


 * Mo/anything that only brings rez


 * Mo/anything that doesn't bring rez


 * Mo/W classic reverse Wammo


 * W/N wannabe Wammo bringing life Siphon to steal the Wammos mending.


 * W/E who chose an ELE just to be able to make his own bright shiny objects, usually in the form of flare.
