This isn't tested as the skills aren't even out.

I'd say something like:
16 Earth Magic
12 Energy Storage

[skill]Ward Against Melee[/skill],[skill]Ward Against Foes[/skill],[Ward of Weakness],[skill]Eruption[/skill][skill]Glowstone[/skill][skill]Sliver Armor[/skill][skill]Balthazar's Spirit[/skill][skill]Essence Bond[/skill]

EQ I'd say anything +AL as with 12 Energy storage energy shouldnt be too bad
And any thing with 20% enchanting or +armor should work
I'm thinking this could farm mobs, that do physical damage. I'd like to say even HM aatxes

The idea of the build is to slow down opponents, and then just mass stacking lots of miss skills to make them miss, if they do hit weakness should make their damage manageable

Problems with the build:
nothing to counter degen
energy maybe a problem (4 wards = 50 energy per 8 seconds. each glowstone attack will earn you +2 energy as well, however balths and eesence bond dont trigger unless mobs hits :S)
Maybe not enough damage

Just like to throw this idea up and hopefully someone can make a few spin offs from it

I'm 99% sure this would work great as part duo team, both the ele tank and ss'er stand inside the wards, maybe even try to body block the mobs from aoe scatter

How do I post them in that fancy easy to read code? :S

It would work .. for about 2 seconds as they run towards you
Normal Mode with Stoneflesh Aura +Mantra of Earth + Stone Striker and they still hit for near 200.

You have no armor of anykind.
Slow activating skills (Aatxe have 1337 interrupts + bleeding)
And would Sliver Armor and War of Melee work if the ward causes them to miss? and not "activate" Sliver?

Well son of a bitch, I always wondered how you people put these skill links in.
[skill]Sandstorm[/skill]
^ Look at that!! I did it

well, you have insane amounts of chances for them to miss,
you have them always blinded, 50% chance from 1 ward, they have weakness always
maybe sandstorm instead of sliver armor, damage is hard to get with this build,I've looked at a few possibilities and nothing seems like it would work
maybe vs other less hard hitting creatures, but I like any build I come up with to be aatxe proof.
with an ss or something I think the build would be great
I know a warrior can tank an aatxes that has weaken on him almost forever, true a warrior does have more AL than an ele
but the idea of the build is that they always miss and when they do hit you it doesn't hurt that much

I doubt you will have enough energy with all that % to block you will never get hit, you could take out the monk skills and add in Earth Attunement and Elemental attunement, but that would take away your elite skill but it would open up options for different 2nd proffesions for damage.

So far it doesnt look like it is going to work
Ward against melee will give you a permanent 50% chance to block, eruption has a 30 second recharge and blind only lasts 10 seconds, Sliver armor only lasts 10+ seconds but had 30 recharge, Ward against foes doesnt really help defensive wise, ward of weakness wont protect against a HM Axxte or even a NM Axxte.

You could try something with Signet of Midnight, Epidemic, Empathy, Some ele Wards, and Spirit shackles for energy.
