Apologies if something like this has been posted, but i was reading the thread about the RI Buff, and how it "belongs" on a Mind Blast build, so, I "came up" (unless its already been done) with this.. PvE Build, but don't go into how anything works in PvE, i want proper criticism please.

12+1 energy storage

I'd toss liquid flame for fireball, on this bar you have nothing spamming that it will interfere with.

Mark of rodgort is kinda meh on this bar. It turns mind blast into immolate, which is ok, sort of, but it's really nothing spectacular like it is with a SH or SF bar. You could really use this slot for utility, like heal party, aegis, or extinguish. Mind blasters love high powered monk spells

.

If you have glyph sac MS, I'm assuming that 8th skill is rez chant. Meteor shower isn't good enough my itself to bring. Even so, I'd consider tossing meteor shower for more utility, like flame djinn's haste or somesuch. It's not like you're hurting for damage spells with the RI/Mind blast/fireball/RI combo (which should take up 90% of your casting time).

EDIT: Suggested revised bar

[skill]mind blast[/skill][skill]fireball[/skill][skill]rodgort's invocation[/skill][skill]aegis[/skill][skill]convert hexes[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]glyph of sacrifice[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

Note that the monk stuff changes depending on what you're going up against.

I tried fireball with RI+MB, but I don't think it is worth the long casting time (delays RI) and being a projectile (misses quite often, and you can't hide behind objects), so I bring Immolate instead for perma-burning (MB->RI->MB->Imm->repeat), that also makes means I have less problems if attunement gets stripped, I can just use Imm+MB.

[skill]mind blast[/skill][skill]rodgort's invocation[/skill][skill]immolate[/skill][skill]fire attunement[/skill][skill]glyph of restoration[/skill][skill]flame djinn's haste[/skill][skill]extinguish[/skill][skill]resurrection chant[/skill]

I find staying alive a bit hard as ele, that's why I bring glyph of restoration and flame djinn's haste instead of glyph of sacrifice and meteor shower.

But there is nothing in the OPs build I'd say "this is bad" about, it's a fine build, as long as your res is a spell (not worth bringing glyph otherwise).
