secondary profession for a warrior
I would like to ask why you felt the need to remove certain parts of W/Mo. I know, it seems odd advice to suggest that LV, HH, and VS are acceptable. I was trying to write it in the context of their usefulness to a soloing warrior and put down their use in a group. While I will agree whole-heartedly that a warrior should be more offensive in a group, I think that such skills may be useful to a person solo. The point, I felt was to explain all the reasons that a warrior might want to chose monk as a secondary and disuade them from making poor skill choices. Saying that VS combines well with a few skills which can hit more than once, is rather awkward. You would have the effect every time you swing and yes, it would be more effective when you use that skill, but the cumulative effect is still useful. The same goes for choices of rez; my point was that one should be wary about using them mid-battle. When not mid-battle, I can't see a reason that a rez sig would really be preferable seeing as you have plenty of time to recover and a hard rez would be more useful in catastrophic situations. Finally, what's wrong with Holy Veil? I wanted to explain my reasoning for some of these points which, I assure you, have been well thought through. Rest assured, I am not an advocate of wammory in any way. I was merely trying to expand on some of the most common choices for a warrior/monk and the benefits of choosing such a combo. I understand that this was entirely one-sided, though I did receive some favorable feedback from people who read it. I would like to hear your opinion.

Well, take this into perspective. Warriors have the absolute highest steady DPS in the game. They need energy, for utilities and such. Live Vicariously, is not worth the healing it provides. Though mending is sub-par to it, that is truly not saying much. I kept the Vigorous Spirit note, as it is semi acceptable, though not very useful in most cases. Healing Signet, is Superior for a Warrior, in comparison to outside sources, in almost ALL ways. Hex removal in PvP is generally left to the Monks. Even they however, do no maintain it. They simply double-click it, after casting. In PvE, hex removal is generally avoided, as usually it is not needed. Removing 1 hex is usually worthless, as in both PvP and PvE cover-hexes are common. On a warrior, it is generally a waste of a skill. Now onto the topic of repeatable resurrection; Warriors are front-liners. Being as such, they will generally die before anybody else will. They are not called tanks, without reason :P. Thus, skills such as resurrection signet, or Sunspear Rebirth Signet, will always be the superior choice for a Warrior, as getting a member onto the feet quickly is better then having in the end, save a party from a near-wipe.

What does the "introduction to NF" have to do with removing a 5-5-5 rating? Mgelo21 19:49, 3 July 2007 (CDT)

Abbreviations
I don't think many of those abbreviations you added are actually used very often --Gimmethegepgun 01:55, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Which? I have heard all of them used. Readem (talk *contribs ) 01:56, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Think attack chains. I speak the language :). <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">contribs ) 01:57, 9 July 2007 (CDT)


 * SoF and IoR for starteds. Also, many of them have multiple skills that have the same abbreviation, and in the case of DB, are more commonly used. DB can be Death Blossom, yes, but more commonly it is Desperation/Drunken Blow, and IoR could also be Images of Regret --Gimmethegepgun 01:58, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

IoR is common in GvG. Many teams run Migraine, and I have heard IoR a few times with others. I don't play SS Wars much, but DB is very common term for M+DB spam. <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">contribs ) 02:00, 9 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Personally, from my experience with it, I prefer Critical Strike + Moebius instead. Can keep it going forever and never run out of energy (I know, I've done it to a noobsauce HH whammo, and that was BEFORE they made it give energy in addition to the crit energy) --Gimmethegepgun 02:06, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Hehe, M+DB spam has the supposed highest dps in the game. That's why I hear the term a lot I guess :/. <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">contribs ) 02:07, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Nah, DB-DB (maybe throw in an Echo for fun) is easily the best damage in the game. Grab a hammer, Dolyak, and start flailing at em and watch em die! >:) --Gimmethegepgun 02:11, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Well, if you can find any disambig's feel free to add them. I am out for the night ;). <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">contribs ) 02:09, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Some are utter crap and I'll weed those out and delete em (WoQ = weapon of quickening? ...just no), but some are fine. For the record, what the hell is SoF and IoR? I've never heard any skills referred to as that. - Auron 02:26, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * After brainstorming for a bit, all I can think of is servants of fortuna. IoR is still drawing a blank. - Auron 02:32, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * >.> that's because you fail. WoQ was used on PvX, so blame them. IoR I have heard more then once. SoF...think less guild. I have heard people say Nec, RM, F, SB, go E. Add GoLE + RH/PoF. Add some suf. Ofc, I hate those people, but w/e. R8's think they are so special. :P (Notice:Wtf is F lolz) <font color="Black">Readem (<font color="Red">talk *<font color="Black">contribs ) 13:40, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
 * All those abbreviations make tons of sense when you're the one saying them... a lot of skills share abbr., so most of them are pretty useless for actual conversation. Of course, there's always the easy ones; OF = Obsidian Flesh, GoLE = Glyph of Lesser Energy, GftE! = Get f@#king tons of Energy!, and so on.
 * What was this discussion about anyway? --[[image:GEO-logo.png]] <font color="#237d00">Jioruji Derako.> 19:08, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
