help with sec proffession

wot secondary should be most proper til ascendin? im between the mesmer and the monk options any suggestions
thanx in advance

It's discussed a lot in this forum.

Most people, including me, favor mesmer. Reasons include:

1. Ether Feast for self-heal.
2. Arcane Echo.
3. Energy management (before you get the great energy management Elementalist elites)
