Wammo

From Guild Wars Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

A derogatory term for a Warrior/Monk. It is formed from the combination's acronyms: W/Mo. Often used to describe a bad player, ignorant of the game basics.

Wammos (or Whammos) choose the Warrior/Monk class combo thinking that utilizing Healing Prayers, along with the offense of a Warrior, will make them a better tank (or something of a Paladin); in reality, attribute points can be more wisely spent.

A typical Wammo is seen using Mending and Healing Hands while using a Sword. This perception of Wammos makes it hard for them to find groups in PvP arenas.

Some people also use this term merely to point out a W/Mo, not necessarily to degrade him; although, the underlying communal attitude towards the term "Wammo" remains negative.

However, it must be noted that a Warrior may choose a Monk secondary to receive a 'hard' resurrection skill (such as Rebirth or Resurrection Chant), or to use one or two condition/hex removals. Both of these are valid W/Mo reasons for pure warrior builds, since conditions such as blind and cripple along with hexes such as Blurred Vision and Ice Spikes are common in both PvP and PvE, and can stop a warrior from doing any damage whatsoever.
