Okay the first thing I had to do was decide on an armor set that would meet my energy and defesive needs. I decided on full Dragon armor (90 AL) because of the extra armor vs. elemental attacks since I have no absorbtion versus that type of damage. For my weapons and offhand I went with a Armor+5(enchanted) Health+45(enchanted) +12 energy pvp air offhand and a shocking 15^50 axe of fortitude. My secondary set was the +30hp, +1 air magic off hand and a zealos pvp axe 15^50 +30hp.

Att ponts:
Air Magic: 9
Strength: 10
Axe Mastery: 16

Skills:
Eviscerate {E}
Executioners Strike
Axe Rake
Frenzy
Shock
Sprint
Conjure Lightning
Rez Sig

I went with no shield in this build becasue the damage absorbtion on them is useless.

Critique plz

Conjure Lightning... cos that'll make a huge difference to your Adren spike? Try Tactics and Healing Signet. Nothing wrong with giving a monk a break.

Also why are you calling it a post nerf build, because of the shield update. Then not taking a shield anyway? Good luck shunting off the extra ele damage from Starburst/Flame Burst/Inferno with no shield and Frenzy.

The 16 armor affects all damage types.

yea shields arent useless. the absorbtion maybe useless, but the 16 armor on shields still affects all types of damage.

If +40AL past 60 is half damage...that makes the 16 from a shield a considerable chunk of protection, no?
I don't see this working all that great, maybe it's just me. I mean, the lightning will work well against warriors, but you're not supposed to fight them until the very end. I just feel like air is specced too high for the energy usage of the build. I don't want to do the math, but it seems like a bit much just to cast Conjure and Shock every now and then.
