is a monk/elementalist good?

[dakure]

i just got this game yesterday(friday 5-27) and my first charcter is monk/elementalist. the element im thinking of being is earth because some of my friends are going to get it and i plan to use monk skills to heal, and some earth to protect. i need an opinion before i get too far into the game to restart my char.

thnx in advance

sounds good. but dont go too heavy on the earth skills and attributes if your planning on using them. but Mo/E are the msot common healers i find. (look into the skills glyph of lesser energy + healing seed)

armor of earth and ward against melee are good compliments for monks

Kinetic armor (I think that is what its called) is great for a monk.
