Default Mo/E

Is a GoLE mo/e the only reason to take /E. Does anyone have a build for an offensive mo/E? I'd really like to see any.

Sometimes bringing [gale] or [shock] is fun.

[whirlwind] or [teinai's wind] are great fun.

Firestorm is pretty pro if you're not playing seriously. Raining fire ftw!

You can spec into Erf Magic and take Obsidian Flame for armor-ignoring spike support. Or Ash Blast to pwn faces.

Mostly because I've seen them both to be ran by top guild monks. And we all know what that means: it must be good.

You mean shock when melee type comes up to you and starts beating on you.You hit shock and kite away while they are knocked down.

For the above [[fire storm] comment, the similar EoTN skill [[snow storm] does wonders on Monks, starting at 30 damage for 10 energy and only 1 second casting time with no title ranks. [[Tryptophan Signet] also does a nice job keeping yourself safe similarly to [[grasping earth] although for defensive purposes you may prefer [[great dwarf armor], potentially in conjunction with a snare.

[[gole] is certainly the primary purpose for going Mo/E, although there are some interesting options that are no longer part of the meta but are still viable. For terrific energy management, you can use [[glyph of renewal] + [[divine spirit] and spam fast recharging, low energy spells such as [[orison of healing] [[healing whisper] [[reversal of fortune]. I've also seen on some compact hybrid builds [[glyph of sacrifice] + [[resurrection chant] allowing for quick resurrection in battle, which is very useful in PUGs and doesn't require the use of your elite as many current [[unyielding aura] builds.
