This build works well for both PvE and PvP

Mysticism 16 (12 + 3 + 1)
Scythe Mastery 12 (10 + 2)
Earth Prayers 9 (8+1)

Mystic Vigor
Zealous Renewal
Mystic Regeneration
Reapers Sweep {E}*
Balthazar's Spirit
Mystic Sweep
Chilling Victory
Rebirth** (Or another res)

* can be replaced with avatars (although i personally dont find these all that effective) or you could swap in wounding strike, depends on personal preference.

** can be replaced with another res, preferably a hard res if you have monk secondary...might as well make the most of it, or if you are going solo, i swap it for conviction.

Hood:

Mystic's

Insignias:

Radiant insignia on all armour apart from gloves.
Survivor insignia on Gloves

Runes:

Superior Mysticism (+3)
Major Scythe Mastery
Minor Earth Prayers
minor, major or superior vigor (best one you can afford)
Attunement

Weapon:

I use Hand of the Forgotten because i like the bonuses on it.
20/20 and 15^50 is nice to use with this. Also if you can get a Zealous scythe that would help with energy.

Cast Balthazar's Spirit before you go into a fight and wait for your energy to get back to full. Once this is on, get as close to your enemy as you can without agroing it, and cast mystic regen and mystic vigor. (getting close makes sure you dont waste much of the 20 secs you have....you dont have to do it but i do). As soon as you are fighting, cast Zealous Renewal to get AoE. Keep renewing your enchants as they where off, but be careful not to recast zealous before it has ended otherwise you wont get the energy bonus.
Use the attack skills as appropriate and your away =]

Hope you like it. Suggestions for improvement are welcome, as is criticism, aslong as its constructive.
