Hex spell. 10 energy 1 sec cast, 10 recharge.
Next time target enemy attacks or uses a skill, it takes 10...115 holy damage and foes nearby target enemy gets set on fire for 0...7 seconds.

115 holy damage, 7 second burn with nearby AoE? For 10 energy, 1 second cast, and 10 recharge? LOLWUT?

First of all, Monk should not be effective nuker. ANet even says: "damage-dealing is not the Monk’s specialty". Unless you want to give Ele awesome healing spells.

So I'll fix that for you:

Elite Hex spell. 15 energy, 2 sec cast, 12 recharge.
Next time target enemy attacks or uses a skill, it deals 15...72 holy damage and target and adjacent foes get set on fire for 1...3 seconds. Causes healing and protection spells to recharge for 12 seconds.

one skill doesn't make an effective nuker.

Doesn't matter. Monks should be terrible nukers, I was even being generous by nerfing that skill for you. If you want to nuke things effectively don't play a healing class.

Then eles should be stripped of their ether renewal build by that reasoning.

and monks are still terrible nukers even with that one elite if it was to be changed. Just like I said, one skill a good nuker does not make. Unless its "T\all foes die on the map, instant recharge and cast and no energy" kind of skill.

I find one of the great things about gw is that many of the classes can run a plethora of different roles.
