If this is in the wrong forum please move it I am new to these forums and not sure if this is the correct place for builds or not. Seeing it says it is but also seeing theres just 1 here. and it's a team build so I'm not sure.

Profession: Elementalist/Monk
Name: Shocking Aftershock
Type: PvP Team Arena/Random Arena
Category: knock and Nuke
Attributes:
Earth Magic: 12+1+3
Energy Storage: 10+3
Protection Prayers: 8

Skill Set:

1) Protective Spirit (Protection Prayers)
2) Stoneflesh Aura (Earth Magic)
3) Shock (Air Magic)
4) Aftershock (Earth Magic)
5) Shockwave {Elite} (Earth Magic)
6) Crystal Wave (Earth Magic)
7) Earth Attunement (Earth Magic)
8) Ressurection Signet (unlinked)

Summary:

This build uses shock to get within range of your target close enough for aftershock easily and gives a knockdown to activate your nuke combo.
I find shock the most useful spell for this case. if every nuke hit one person it could easily destroy any target except maybe AL 100 people. such as monsters.
it also uses 330 hp so that stone flesh aura and protective spirit will make you take 0 damage.

Notes & Concerns:
You can replace crystal wave with aura of restoration if you need the healing but due to the recast time of spells you might have a insignificant combo.
Interuptions and Knockdowns are the main threat, also skill disableing is also ahuge threat but is less common.
I tried this build in ra and some in pve it worked niceley, and its pretty fun to play. I would post this build on pvx wiki but I don't know how to make a page there.
so maybe you guys might like to try it.
Also note that I've expieirenced a delay in the cast times of these spells when casting after aftershock I was told it's an engine restriction, this does get in the way some times.
And one last thing, don't chase people and try to cast shock on them becuase when you knock them down they will still be out of range of aftershock. Try to intercept thier journey instead.

Credits

if no one else has thought of this build and if it's agood build people like (I know I like it) then I would like to take credits for it as I've never really seen any build at all like this or one that uses shockwave for that matter.

Its a good build to farm with, I wouldnt take shock and aftershock though because exhaustion builds up. There are other skills that will deal more damage. As for PvX, all you do is register (make an account) and then follow the template of other builds. ie. Title, attributes and skills then how to use it, weapons and armor etc etc.

This 330 health + Stoneflesh Aura concept has been around since the begning of Nightfall for farming, such a good build concept deserves 2 builds on wiki

I've had better luck with the assassin variant. It's not an insanely effective builds, but it's fun.

I think I made it for AB, so if you really want to use it in PvE or RA, it needs a rez somewhere in there.
