Category: News ArchiveHits: 920
Monks are Guild Wars' healers. They possess powerful support abilities that are crucial for keeping your teammates alive in battle. Monks have three major areas of expertise: healing, protection, and smiting. Monks are the most powerful healers in the game, and they can learn skills that instantly heal wounded allies, among others. The monk's protective powers include those that can deflect or absorb damage, which may not seem to be of obvious use. However, these powers can be extremely efficient, especially when used on larger groups. The smiting line is used to not only attack the unholy armies of the undead, but also to summon forth retributive powers that can rebuke enemies that perform certain actions in battle. Monks will likely prove to be excellent support-class characters as well as presenting themselves as powerful allies against undead foes.
