I would like to see some builds that use very little or no energy. Obviously warriors have adrenaline and therefore an advantage, but there are plenty of signets out there. Anybody?
Mine is sort of energy less. You have to put up 2 enchants first but its good otherwise.
10 Healing Prayers
11 Strength
10 Axe Mastery
...Add Runes!
Battle Rage
Dismember
Axe Rake
Penetrating Blow
Executioners Strike
Mending
Live Vicariously
Res Sig
Build Strat is easy, put up enchants beforehand, then get 4 hits of adrenaline and spam the other attack skills and battle rage.

I recommend putting Purge Signet in there

. It removes all hexes and conditions, in exchange for energy you don't care about (and it does work at 0 energy, i know).

When I do a battle rage warrior I usually do

strength: 10 + 1
axe: 12 + 3 + 1
prot: 8

penetrating blow
executioner's strike
dismemer
axe rake
disrupting chop or succor
battle rage {E}
life bond
res

That signet mes seems cute, I would think keystone signet might be better than signet of judgement though.

audioaxes · Jan 07, 2006, 04:54 PM // 16:54

dont need prot so high with lifebond... bumb strength to 12 and prot to 6 for lifebond
also i think the benefit of an axe battlerager gets lost when you dont take 5 attacks for that overwhelming constant dps and might as be a sword battlerager for spiking if youre taking 4 attacks

I dont really know if this qualifies as an "energy-less" build, but it runs along a similar concept.

Me/__

Keystone Signet
Leech Signet
Signet of Weariness
Signet of Humility
Mantra of Inscriptions
Shatter Enchantment
Shatter Hex
Ressurection Signet

Its not a strict "energy-less" build in that you do have 2 skills which require energy, but thats part of the idea behind the build. The two energy consuming spells you do use - Shatter Hex and Shatter Enchantment - both are very expensive (15 energy). Instead of coming up with efficient energy management to make up for the cost, you can just make sure the rest of your skills dont rely on energy. Meaning, basically, you have 40+ energy and 4 pips devoted almost entirely to spamming Shatter Hex and Shatter Enchantment.

As to the rest, its usefull for some simple shutdown. Signet of Weariness can cause great pressure on a monk, as well as Signet of Humility which can mess up people dependant on spells such as Offering of Blood and Word of Healing. Leech Signet is an excellant interupt here because you go around the long recharge with Keystone Signet and Mantra of Inscriptions. Its also usefull as an interupt on the Ghostly Hero.

Have fun

*edit*
This may not be the best place to put this, but the "energy-full" version would probably be something like this (just as a contrast to the other one):

Offering of Blood
Diversion
Shatter Hex
Shatter Enchantment
Shame
Blackout
Consume Corpse
Ressurection Signet

So instead of going around the problem of energy management when using these expensive and spammable mesmer skills (Shatter __, diversion, etc), you approach the problem more directly by putting Offering of Blood in there. Consume Corpse is there just out of nescessity, it can be replaced by an interupt.
