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, Healing Hands, or other Monk skills 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 condition removal. Both of these are valid W/Mo reasons for pure warrior builds, since conditions such as blind and cripple are common in both PvP and PvE, and can stop a warrior from doing any damage whatsoever.
