Monk PVP Tips

[Darthor]

Getting nuked/stabbed/kicked in the rear when you least expect it?  Can't bring down those healers? Can't catch runners or run away?  Well tough <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span>  Lol I just thought some helpful hints from some of us PvP monks to each other might help stir the brain juices!  Here are some of my own (only level 30 myself though):1.)  If you get jumped and have a lot of health taken off before you are in pvp combat, use mend FIRST, as the same rules apply to mend as out of combat healing (heals for more).2.)  Dragon stance:  awesome stance since it switches your target 50% of the time, more effective than normal taunt imo since they have to contunally switch targets.  I'm sure many PvE people have it in an off skill-bank since it is either on or off, and my advice is move it to a more prominant spot, since you never know when pvp action is coming around and you have to activate quickly.3.) Energy totem + windwalk is your friend.  Buy or make your own, but I always have the best drink/totem I can use available, which runs windwalk almost permanently, and sees far more use on a pvp server.  4.)  SPACE OUT your stuns!  Learn to see when enemies are casting spells and use stuns REactively (unless they are running of course)Anyone care to add?<div></div>

<P>This one applies to all classes, but I'll throw it out here.</P> <P>Turn on auto-face in combat. It's a pain in PvE but it's a life saver in PvP. Every time I fight a scout they're constantly circling while they fight trying to get their positionals off. Must be incredibly frustrating for them that I spin just as fast as they do all the while wailing away at their face.</P>
