First off I call it: The Spell Raper Build

My Skillz:

Skull Crack: Dazed and interrupted!!

To The Limit: Adds adrenaline to build main skill (4 Enemies right now)

Distracting Blow: Quick fix if skull crack isn't ready

Flurry: I use this so I don't lose extra health (frenzy) and its to interrupt any spells quickly with a person under daze.

Seeking Blade: Good if I'm not attacking a caster and if they are using a stance (+15 right now)

Conjure Lightning: I felt lacking of damage and decided to add this in along with a shocking sword hilt. (+9 for 60 sec.)

Gale: Knockdown so that I can chase the suckers.

Resurrection Signet: Revive

I have my skills like this

Air Magic: 8
Strength: 7
Swordsmanship: 11
Tactics: 7+1 (Helm)

My armor:

15k Ascalon Helm
1.5k Glad Chest
1.5k Glad Leggings
Stonefist Gauntlets
15k Ascalon Boots

Ok to be honest your build is very bad. A more effective gale sword build would be like this.

16 Sword
Air 5
Strength: ~
Tactics: ~
1. Gale
2. Sever
3. Gash
4. Final Thrust
5. Charge* or whatever
6. Sprint
7. Frenzy
8. Rez Signet

You always want your weapon attribute to be 16. Skull crack isn't a great elite because an uncovered daze will be removed in seconds and it will be hard to hit against most types of monks. Never sacrifice Damage for saftey, with flurry in mind. If you run a sword build why not run sever/gash/final thrust? Your build is pretty bad. Look around for a better one.

With gale you have exhaust, so you will need most if not all adrenaline skills besides gale. After a few gale casts you have no energy.

Especially with Gale upped from 5 to 10. But that's prehistory, as far as we're concerned.

Don't cast gale every chance you get.

I think you need some more pvp experience. Honestly, my friend: no disuasion or disrespect intended. Read some of the threads around here.

Some tips regarding the armor:

Read the description on Stonefist Gauntlets. Then read the description on Gale. Replace with Gladiator's Gauntlets, +1 energy with no drawback for you.

Read the description of any pieces of your Ascalon set. Notice how it screams "non-stacking."

I'd strongly reccomend keeping the Ascalon boots, and ditching the helm for a +1 mastery(axe, sword, hammer) or LT helm. There really isin't much place in PvP for +tactics or +strength helm, unless you're running a very specific build.

I also strongly agree with Byron.
