Hi.

i'm working on a build for PVP and testing it out in RA.. atts basically are earth 16, energy 12, rest air ( if needbe)

skills:
stone daggers
crysal wave
obsedian flame
aura of restoration
kinetic armor
ether prodigy
rez

The problem as you can imagine from this build is the exhaustion. for energy managment i found prodigy the best and i cant seem to tear myself away from obsedian flame (i have helped finish off a few foes with it). i think the build is there but i prob need to get used to not using OF so much cos of exhaustion.

I have also considered adding aftershock but it'd be 'wasted' unless u add a KD like whirlwind to it.... also kinetic is nice for deffence and stone daggers is used to spam it and deal a nice regular dmg to any given foe, (also use aura of restor before engagin foe to keep kinetic up).

i just feel uncomfortable with this build currently cos i finish off the round with 30-40 energy left due to exhaustion. any suggestions pls

Aftershock instead of crystal wave is a good idea if you think the exhaustion is too much. I notice you only have 7 skills listed. I would suggest glyph of energy. Cast it before OF and you won't have to worry about exhaustion. It makes each OF a bit "slower" due to the need to cast the glyph, but well worth it in a long fight where that much exhaustion is dangerous.

"Aftershock instead of crystal wave is a good idea if you think the exhaustion is too much."

Crystal wave doesnt cause exhaustion.

And kinetic armor=great skill.
Ether prodigy=great skill.
However they clash when you factor in the "lose all enchantments part of prodigy", and kinetic armor has an especially long cooldown and casting tiem, so it wont be able to be recast after casting prodigy. If you have factions, go second wind or energy boon, however if you plan to use obsidian flame often, use energy boon.

[edit]-And also, glyph of energy is an elite, so is prodigy.
