i have never seen this build before.
Kyrein
interesting..............whats the point of chilling?thunderclap is an air hex
??Ripskin
Thunderclap knocks down anyone hit by lightning damage for 20 seconds or so, chilling winds is a cover hex.
Cast thunderclap, chilling winds (just in case) then watch him fall on his ass for 20 seconds.
Edit:
Last time I played in RA with this, I was tearing with laughter, I just auto attacked their monk until all of their team members were dead.
....he phoenix'd me >:E!
Shortly after I got pms with 'lol noob'

Won't work against any decent monk that has hex removal...

Covering hexes ftw.

This is both new and interesting.
It was also way cooler when thunderclap was bugged.

I wish Thunderclap was properly useable...I really, really do.

Yes, but it's been proven that a shocking shortbow will keep a foe licking floor for as long as the hex lasts, and as long as you have the energy.
Given a Shortbow has a refire rate of 2 seconds, you're losing 6 energy every 2 seconds. How do you counter that, given that most energy management devices open to an Elementalist are Elite, and so is Thunderclap?
If you're spamming Air Magic spells instead of using a bow, and occaisionally targeting the foe hexed with Thunderclap, you can't keep them on the floor as much as using the bow, and because you're using spells, you're consuming even more energy.

Would prefer GoLE over it

Oh u wish lmao. The constant kd rate is sooo crazy that I can not even use a ROF lmao. You have almost no chance of casting a 1s cast spell. I was under pressure like that before lmao. If the whole team of 4 is balling up, you are done for.
Chilling wind in there for longer hex I believe.
Though you might need a BiPer if you are playing TA or HA lol. For HA, make sure their whole team is balling up. Oh smite ball. There you go. You WILL screw them SOOOO bad as long as Ward of Stab is down lol.

btw, whoever said it was a 3s kd is wrong. It's 2s. By default, you should assume kd's are 2s unless it is otherwise noted in the skill like Backbreaker.

Ya I've had this done to me before as a monk. It really is pretty gay because the only good way to remove it is if you are pre-vailed since any other hex removal is likely to get inturupted. Even if you do manage to get some RoF's off you're team is still pretty screwed unless you have another healer.

Considering the number of hexes that can completely ruin your day if you're the only monk, you should always, always, always be preveiled in RA.
IllusiveMind
This is known to be a Fort Aspenwood build, Kurzick side. So yeah, frustrates everything up.

And if you're on an RA team... you kd their monk for 20 seconds, and your team hasn't completely slaughtered theres, then it's due to crappy gameplay.
That's why there's really no reason to bring e management. I just do it for the lulz, as the topic says.

Sir Pandra Pierva
if your team hasn't killed at least one person after kd'ing a monk for 6 seconds you should leave.
I used to run this all the time in RA for kicks it pisses people off and if they are close enough you can keep the whole team down. Now that is funny to watch a team get wailed on and they can't do shit.

Tried it in a while ago.
Funny as f***.
And you get flamed with "Noob!", which is funny...cuz they lost to a noob
Reminds me of "Noob Runner!!!!111" when playing cripshot!

Man... I remembered an ele using it on the other team in RA. 
4 ppl stands at one spot trying to run toward our monk. Priceless.

This is new?
Really?
I used it when I initially got the skill (thunderclap) and got flamed to death when I told about it.
I see it in RA from time to time though.

Using it in AB, its actually pretty useful considering if you have a decent spike, you can take some shrines alone.
I use [skill]Mirrored Stance[/skill] to cover.
It's also funny as hell!

lol, good idea, let's use it on a warrior
Oh shi- he just used frenzy!

for some strange reason i find this build entertaining
freaky naughty
In Fort Aspenwood most offenses are fired down from higher vantage points in between the inner and outer gates. You know you can just step out of range in a matter of seconds to completely avoid you? Energy cost is too great anyways. Thunderclap is at best a mediocre elite.

-death- You missed the very important part of them being knocked down every 2 seconds....and having zero time to attack. Double damage of zero is still zero, so use whatever you want. I'd say about 90% of the time they either use defensive stance or dash to try and get away, lol.
As for using "mirrored stance" as my cover hex.....there really is no better cover hex. It has 1/4th a second cast time, costs 5 energy, and with very little investment in shadow arts, will last the entire duration of thunderclap.
RPGmaniac
Our guild is experimenting with a team build of this for TA for the heck of it. We have it down pretty good but we have a warrior with a shocking axe providing KDs for Thunderclap. Works pretty well especially when used on the monks (since they don't even get enough time to get up and cast anything to help them).
Also, this isn't new. There has been a E/R build like this out for months.

If you use this, be prepared for the "lol, noob" spam you will get from those you do it to.
Here's the build i've been using in AB:
[skill]Thunderclap[/skill][skill]Mirrored Stance[/skill][skill]Scorpion Wire[/skill][skill]Energy Blast[/skill][skill]Storm Djinn's Haste[/skill][skill]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill][skill]Air Attunement[/skill][skill]Conjure Lightning[/skill]
I use it in AB, with an AoE Fire ele guildie. The victim(s) is pinned down for 22 seconds, cannot run, cannot cast, cannot move......just sits there getting PISSED. All the while being spammed by AoE nukes. Usually takes about 10 seconds for them to die.
Course, scorpion wire and energy blast are completely optional. I use scorpion wire because 80% of the monks you cast thunderclap on, then cover with MS, end up stripping MS and running away soz not to get thunderpwned. Its funny, because eventually they learn your name and run from you anyway. This skill definitely has the best effect when cast on a monk near the caster backline.
For energy, just use the glyph, air attune, conjur. Then, before air attune ends, do it again. It gives you a good net + of energy.
