This is the build I'm currently using in Elona.
Scythe Mastery - 12 + 3 + 1
Mysticism - 10 + 1
Earth Prayers - 8 + 1
Reaper's Sweep {E}
Victorious Sweep
Chilling Victory
Zealous Renewal
Conviction
Meditation
Wild Blow
Sunspear Rebirth Signet
Maintan Zealous Renewal for energy gain. With Zealous Renewal always up, Conviction will give you a constant +24 armor. When Zealous Renewal recharges, use Meditation to remove it and gain lots of energy. Usually I use Victorious Sweep > Chilling Victory > Reaper's Sweep {E} as my attack pattern. For the free slot, I use WIld Blow in Kourna to remove Whirling Defence from the Kournan Rangers. Other skills for this slot could be an IAS, Plague Touch, or a heal. The rez is to well, rez dead party members. I recommed using Rez Sig opposed to Sunspear Rebirth Sig, because you will be in the frontlines and rezzing a monk to your location wouldn't be helpful.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to share.
