I'm also worried about you usage of q9 tactics shields. If you're diverting attribute points to support the full 16AL of a q9/16 shield, your prot/heal/DF atts suffer accordingly. If you're not...8AL isn't enough.
The most effective, though expensive option, is to utilize a complete set of q7 tactics shields (as a stance monk) to take full advantage of the 15AL bonus.
All this talk about AL is important in the current quick-spiking guildwars meta.
High end PVP monks never use the "Luck of the Draw" inscription. Point per point over time has proven 10AL vs "x" shields to prevent more damage than the random nature of a -5/20%.
Armor wise, don't use a mix of survivors and radiants. You mention having HP to avoid being spiked out; the +15AL on a full set of armor with Disciples insignias, stacked with the shield AL bonus, will do much more towards preventing spikes and general damage.
I know this is a bit old, but... why in the world a -5/20 on the shield? Get a good set of +10 AR vs. X Damage shields and choose which one to use based on your enemies team build... maybe get a -2/Stance with +45hp/Stance too if you run stances on your monk (IE not in GvG) and a -2/Ench with +45hp/Ench for Guardian... and a -3/Hexed with +60hp/Hexed when you are up against hex-heavy teams... otherwise, helpful guide...
Hi, incredible video, because nobody really cares enough to make tutorials to help others understand the details of GW.
This is very usefull for me, because, although I started playing GW as a monk, I don't really excell at monking. In addition, when I had bad teams, i was really annoyed because the other teammates always blame the Mo, as everybody knows. So I preffered to switch profession to sin. If i have a bad team in RA, at least I can make 1kill myself, Mo or not in the other team...
this video is kinda pointless... title says "how to be a pro..." but this video is on noob level of pvping. learn some real pvp please. pfff... luck of the draw on a pvp shield? rofl.
1. ! Oh ye guys i forgot to show you shields with +10 armor ! there are 8 different types of damage so you need to have 8 shields (for example +10 vs Blunt dmg)

A number of issues with your "pro-ness"
High end PVP monks never use the "Luck of the Draw" inscription. Point per point over time has proven 10AL vs "x" shields to prevent more damage than the random nature of a -5/20%.

Nice Q13 axe :P

would u mind telling me the difference between q9 and q13 for Mo?
Diatomus 2 years ago
well its not only for monk its for all professions
get as lowest Q as you can for atributtes your using.
since you are not using martial weapon as dmg weapon as monk you can have high Q
DarkEgg11 2 years ago
getting the lowest attr rarely bears any value, since whether you have 14 or more attr of it or u dont have it at all.
ofc there's lots of exceptions, but the whole truth is that getting low attr weap is just for showing off, like rare skins and pets etc
it kind of pisses me off when some1 wielding q9 heal staff says that q11 suxx. the hell, like he would have less than 14 heal pr.

1. Your equipment sux, u forgot the +10 al vs piercing, slahing, fire, lightning.
2. get some real weapons and skillz b4 u start a guide.
3. fix ur mic, i got an headache just by listening to you.
4. you need to get a high energy set to swap to.
5. this is utterly useless because ur shield is wrongly modded. -5 (20%) ? pff, go learn pvp.
