Alright I need a build for my ele at PvP because mine's a little cheesy =/ it's made for PvE mainly as long as there's not mesmers.
But let me tell you guys what I have.
I do not have factions so I cannot use ANY of them.
I have 16 earth magic and 14 energy storage which will soon be 15 energy storage.
I have all the earth skills except for the obsidian flesh which I'm not at that point yet.
I'll get the elite if you have a good purpose for it like ether prodigy which I can see. But anyway, please put down builds that work or builds you think may work that aren't garbage.
Yeah, that'll help a lot.

Do you mind mixing with another element?

Is there such a thing as a good Earth build for 4-man team PvP?
On bigger teams the answer is obviously "Yes!", because of warding.

u can always do a warder in pvp
i havent done it in a while but the build i use to run included
earthquake, aftershock, crystal wave, ward against melee, against foes, glyph of energy [e], rez sig
thats only 7 skills u can add whatever u think u need. this build is very offensive as u can see. just remember to use the glyph before using earthquake and be wise before using crystal wave.

Put in Obs Flame for that low-health minispike.
gameshoes3003
hmm.....
Lightning Hell, if you can give me some ingisht of what things to mix, I'll give it a try. I know enervating charge and stone work well together and Stone Mist i think and any lightning attack.
I do have Obsidian Flame for low health people =D
Then RuPee, I've tried that earthquake, aftershock, and crystal wave thing before, but I have to go up to them which I have died many times before because of that.
I should've also put that I'm a E/Mo, LOL
If you need me to switch secondary classes, I can do that because I already beat the profession changers.
Also, I jsut say some thread for ele builds, I'll take a look at those.
Meanwhile, I should tell you the build I'm put up with:
Stone daggers
Crystal Wave
Aura of restoration
Earth attunement
Ether renewal
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor
ressurect of any kind
so basically, i'm a tank. But I cannot fight interrupt rangers and mesmers. This is basically why I need a balanced build to overcome that.

notice my spike build for an earth ele 3 or 4 posts down...

The HoH Warder is:
Earth Magic: 16
Energy Storage :12
Inspiration: rest
Obsidian Flame
Glyph Of Energy
Earthquake
AfterShock
Ward Against Melee
Ward Against Enemies
Mantra Of Resolve
Res Sig
It can be done also with Monk as 2nd (bringing Aegis or Heal Party instead of Resolve) and with Ranger as 2nd (bringing Frozen Soil, but usually in a balanced group this task is done by the Fire Ele)
The HoH Spiker is:
Earth Magic:16
Energy Storage: 12
Inspiration / Protection / Healing / Wilderness Survival (see above): rest
Obsidian Flame
Glyph Of Energy
Earthquake
Ashblast
Inspired Enchantment (if mesmer as 2nd, bring Earth Attunement if other class)
Ward Against Melee / Enemies / Elemental / Stability (each spiker in the team brings one of those)
Mantra Of Resolve (or Aegis / Heal Party / Frozen Soil)
Res Sig
It's important to use TS / Vent / Skype to coordinate the spike, which can be done with Obsidian Flame for isolated target or with Earthquake (followed by ashblast especially on warriors) for packed targets
Have fun ^^

Wow, thanks but I do believe Ashblast is a factions skill, I do not have factions. What can I use to replace it?

Try Stone Daggers for an additional post-spike damage, to finish off the target
torquemada
Also consider the brand new Ward of Stability as anti-KD

ressurect of any kind Being a tank is useless in PvP if you can't deal enough damage, and they can kite away with ease.
Replace Stone Daggers with Obsidian Flame.
Put in a Ward Against Foes, get out Armor of Earth and Kinetic Armor. You aren't farming Hydras.
Put in a Ward Against Melee if you want.
Don't use Ether Renewal. If you're playing in RA, then Prodigy or Elemental Attunement will do.
If you do use Prodigy, I recommend putting in Heal Party, too. :P
You don't want to stretch too far into their backline for Crystal Wave. Aura of Restoration is quite a bad health-restore skill; if you're getting thumped by a Ranger or a Warrior, you should be kiting, not casting continuously.
Attunement is not very good when you have more than one element. With one, it's still easily Shatter bait, but in RA...there aren't many enchantment removal spells tossed around.
I suggest either Flashbot skills with Windborne Speed, or some snares from Water. So (I don't have Factions, so I'm more used to Prophecy skills, excuse me):
Obsidian Flame
Ward Against Foes
Ether Prodigy {E} (Just my preference.)
Ward Against Melee / Windborne Speed
Blinding Flash / Deep Freeze
Enervating Charge / Ice Prison/Blurred Vision, your choice
Heal Party
Resurrection Signet
This is for general RA use. This may be able to carry on, but don't get your hopes high.
I don't know about HoH.
In GvG, there aren't many Earth Elementalists remaining...
Crystal Wave
Aura of restoration
Earth attunement
Ether renewal
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor

You COULD put in Stone Daggers instead of Gale/Windborne Speed, if you get REALLY bored ingame.

It seems wards are a must...since I've been trying to make a more damage, less utilty geomancer (and no I wont put factions skills in it 
):
E/N
Energy Storage: 10 + 1
Earth Magic: 11 +3 +1
Curses: 10
1. Obsidian Flame
2. Earthquake
3. Stoning
4. Enfeeble
5. Earth Attunement
6. Elemental Attunement
7. Insidous Parasite/optional
8. Rez
Use Enfeeble+stoning for damage+KD, Obs. Flame to finish, Insidous Parasite for defnese and self-heal. Not really inspired build, must admit...

Why stoning? Why?
I don't really like skills that are as conditional as that.

Well Enfeeble is spammable and it's early monday morning, that much I can say in my defense...
EDIT: And yeah, I prolly should have just inserted Enervating Charge+Stoning, Shock+AfterShock air/earth combos, weakness being lousy condition per se.

gameshoes3003
Yes I do know that stoning does knockdown people, but I find it on the expensive side of energy which makes me not like this skill. Is there a way to replace that?
LightningHell
Not many unless you want to dabble in Air for Gale.

well gee....
ayway i got ether prodigy and boy do I like it. But it's a little damaging when it ends, so I changed my secondary to mesmer to use ether feast. It heals 99 hp =D. I'll have test this stuff in the arenas when I get the other +15 attributes.
