Default Need Ele/Monk build

I made a thread about needing a monk build for Ogden a few days ago, found some good suggestions on that, and did a little browsing and found some more good stuff. I have now decided that Ogden will carry:
Word of Healing
Dwayna's Kiss
Ethereal Light
Cure Hex
Drain Enchantment
Leech Signet
Power Drain
Some sort of rez?

Now I need a good Ele/ Prot monk build for Vekk
I want supplemental Protection to compliment Ogden's build, but I also want Vekk to stay alive and maybe deal a little damage.
I was thinking Earth or water magic, with maybe Mark of Protection, Aegis, and reversal of fortune on the protection side. I have all chapters except Nightfall.
Thanks for all your help.

Hey Kel,
Just a quick reply to the icon question: try to "quote" his message and you'll see the little trick...

Concerning your E/Mo build ... Tyla Salanari did put you on the right track if ask me ...

I found most useful skill to release some pressure from the backline:
[skill]Extinguish[/skill] or [skill]aegis[/skill]
and maybe a res like:
[skill]resurrection chant[/skill].

I personally prefer on my ele heroes a Mesmer secondary with:
[skill]Leech signet[/skill] and
[skill]power drain[/skill]
since the AI is pretty good at interrupts and it grants them some e-management as well.
Beside asking here you might wanna check out pvxwiki as a decent source for basic and viable builds in general...

Good luck to you,
Timebandit

[skill]meteor shower[/skill]
Very nice...
Anyway, yes fire is nice and I realize ele's are for damage, but I just wanted to experiment with Earth or water and throw in some protection. And as you can see, my Monk build is already secondary mesmer with
[skill]leech signet[/skill] and [skill]powerdrain][/skill]

I just wanted to experiment with the different elements and just see what they can add to the table. I realize that this may not be a good build, just wanna try it.

Ok thanks man. I was thinking about [skill]Extinguish[/skill] and [skill]Aegis[/skill] and [skill]mark of protection[/skill] or maybe [skill]reversal of fortune[/skill] or [skill]protective spirit[/skill] for the monk side. Maybe 2 or 3 of those or throw in a rez? And most water and earth elites arent great except for [skill]Obsidian Flesh[/skill] and [skill]Mist Form[/skill] huh? Keep in mind any skills except from NF. Thanks again.

mark of prot isnt really that great tbh,its recharge is far too long and reversal is mainly used as a spammable prot skill protspirit is ok,a smart water skill to use is [skill]shatterstone[/skill] which can be captured in kurzick land.also a great earth skill is [skill]unsteady ground[/skill]


EDIT: by the way here are the earth+water builds

Earth ele:

[skill]glyph of energy[/skill][skill]magnetic surge[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]stone daggers[/skill][skill]earth attunement[/skill][skill]earthquake[/skill][skill]dragon's stomp[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]
glyph of energy must be on you when you use stomp/quake
Water ele:

[skill]shatterstone[/skill][skill]glyph of immolation[/skill][skill]blurred vision[/skill][skill]water attunement[/skill][skill]maelstrom[/skill][skill]vapor blade[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

would have put ele flame,steam and slippery ground but you wont have nf for steam+ele flame><

yeah, i'd run something like unsteady ground + ward of melee + filler earth skills. earth attune/gole for emanage, throw in aegis and you have pretty good defense and decent offense
