SF: Earth Ele Gear/Keg Holder ?.

I was thinking about using an earth ele as the tanker for 5 man sf runs - a 16 earth ele can have just as much AL as your cookie cutter w/? , and with a eq/aftershock combo they can also contribute alot of dmg.

Here's of the top of my head:

e/mo

16: earth
13: energy storage

Glyph Of Energy {E}
EarthQuake
AfterShock
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor
Earth Attunement
Balth Spirit / Essense Bond {energy management}
Ward {melee/foes/ele} or OB Flame ?.

As I said this is just off the top of my head , just wondering what you guys thought about it. Seem's to me like a pretty solid tanking build w/ nice contributing dmg.

Instead of Balth sprit or essense bond you would want to take stone daggers because they are spammable and keeps kinetic up. Your elite needs to be obsidian flesh so your enchants don't get stripped/shattered.
