If your looking for a good GvG Character My oppinion is go with the Mo/W. Its hard to keep alive when your a low lvl. but when your get to lvl.s 17 - 20 Its like youll never die. With the spells you get when your that high of a lvl. your healing spells will keep you alive along with the warriors fighting along with you. Sure you dont have as much health as a W/Mo but as a Mo/W the healing can make up for as much of more than you lose. : )

Want to see my character? ~ His name is Death Filipino and he's a lvl 20 Mo/W ~

Without the negative or positive effects of runes in play, all characters have the same amount of health without using any skills. Warriors just have several skills that give them a whole lot more temporarily. I know quite a few characters with more health then my warrior can boast of, simply because I employ a superior rune on my armor.

The real difference is that the W/Mo has higher armor and absorption = lives longer. Although the Mo/W has more energy which means you might be able to figure out a way to cast more spells that keep you alive longer. Gildan Bladeborn is correct that at level 20 all toons have the same health... only runes weapons and shields make it so that one toon has more or less than another.

Yes, and the problem with the Mo/W is that s/he is just a low dmg warrior, or a relatively inefficient healer.
This is ok if you are soloing the UW 3 months ago (yes, i used the present tense to refer to the past, put it down to irony), but not so good in PvP.

Of couse Mo/W has two good pvp uses - bonettis to avoid physical damage and recover energy while healing, and sprint to avoid those few smart warriors who brought a sprint with them.

other snares (illusionary burden, ethereal burden, crippling etc) can be removed by monk skills you should be carrying anyway.

Restore Life doesn't work on dead 55 builds for some reason. Some sac necros (minion factory builds) take advantage of that.

The only way to res a dead 55 build is to use a res sig. The only thing that really threatens a 55 build tank in the UW is the dying nightmare creature, which uses rend enchantments. The creature dies very quickly (two or three wand hits usually kill it), so spell breaker is more than enough. I carry a res sig with my two man UW farming build necro only for emergencies, as the monk really shouldn't die barring lag or an interrupt.

That may have been true before the last update, but now you gotta watch the two or three nightmares, while your spell breaker only lasts about 10 seconds, and your backup monk has to stay far enough away to not get run down when the aatxes retarget because they ran away to avoid aoe damager from balt's aura.

It is still possible, but hard work for a 55 smiter, who can still get interrupted while trying to recast prot spirit.

Better to take a trap team, or a full team and actually EXPLORE the whole area, which is pretty interesting (rather than using it as a money run).
