I just wanted a Hand of Chayula melee build but there are zero skills in the game to support it. I hope the 2 coming soon Quarterstaff skills are for Chaos variants.
The second you get access to tier 3 support gems with this build put chaotic freeze on contagion. As it stands this defensive link would be your only form of mitigation. Additionally do not take darkness if you want to keep scaling as a chaos caster. Blasphemy with despair enables you to add hexblast to the build which is your best source for poison and is also your strongest source of freeze, and is also your best source of stagger. Late into endgame you can consider darkness for bossing, but before then it is really only enabling you to be good at running the trials of sekhema.
Also; dark effigy is your best ability to apply wither, and with this skill gem setup, will fire 4x per attack per target affected by your dots. Use hand of chayula to instead apply conductivity for a crit chance bonus or hunters mark for a crit damage bonus once you have scaled enough crit.
I'm currently experimenting with a poison and bone skills for the chaos monk. I initially cc with an envenomed bone cage, drop an impending doom curse, then fire the arrow skill with poison pustules and start spamming bone cage. The screen lights up with poison and doom explosions and rapidly spreads the contagion. I haven't even hit the spell and chaos passives yet and it's pretty impressive.
I wound up building something similar after I realized there was no necromancer ascendancy for witch. This seemed like the most obvious chaos caster. Thanks for the tip of running a focus with no weapon instead of a quarterstaff. I mostly use the quarterstaff for the cull skill but this seems better. I had nearly 2.5k ehp at the end of act 3 normal between HP, ES and shadow. I'm alternating between 5 characters and this definitely has the most survivability of them all. Shadow protects ES and allows it to recharge if your hits reserve shadow instead.
I'm also a chaos monk. I'm thinking of focusing on Chaos, but I stop myself because it feels like I'm not a monk anymore, but a witch. So I go with physical monk skills for me. I use Chaos for mob and monk physical skills for bosses
I tested this as well for a while and it always felt like trying to split my damage between Chaos and Physical without much conversion between the two was just limiting both their potentials. It's the first place I'd like to see them make changes for Acolyte personally
@@DrybearGamers yeah you're right, im thinking about that also, maybe ni the future ill drop all my chaos equips and skill and go full Physical, its just that contagion and hexblast is so satisfying to see
@@DrybearGamers the class isn't about spec into chaos damage. it's about specing into every type of damage. if you have 100 fire, 100 lightning, 100 ice which is 300 damage, you will convert all this damage into chaos damage. the generic scaler for damage will be critical chance and critical damage
Contagion is a really convenient way to get more power charge generation via freeze for chayula monk. It’s nice to be able to weapon swap to an essence drain contagion setup for clear and then flicker strike and bell anything that doesn’t fall over.
Yea, this was the issue I had with Acolyte, it felt like there were skills missing when in reality it was a lot of misunderstanding. The passives are worded they grant damage as extra chaos damage, so you can pretty much play any standard build and it would work, since the vast majority of damage from the Monk skills are physical converted to cold or lightning, so no matter what damage you do, the extra chaos is just icing on the cake, you don't need to focus on it. If I didn't already spend this many hours leveling 4 characters, I would've honestly just made an Acolyte to try it out, since crit cold/chaos shatter does sound like a neat build.
Extra chaos damage is calculated from base damage before any increases are applied... This means that it's quite insignificant if chaos damage is not scaled.
While what you said is true lightning holds a better advantage since shock increase the damage that you deal which in turn would increase the chaos damaged added. Freeze doesn’t get that although I suppose the opening you get from freezing a boss is big enough to make up for not getting that debuff

this might actually be the first vid i saw using Darkness. Interesting. I d also love to see if you could come up with an Original Sin Amethyst Ring build. (100% of elemental vonverted to chaos)
Poison scales by the physical or chaos HIT of the skill that applied the poison. Flat chaos damage works only for the hit, not poison damage over time (again the dot is scaled from the hit)
@@LycanDreams9159 that is true but does not apply for spells for some reason. meaning if envenom hits triggered by a spell, the poison wont get tick stronger because of spell dmg, only chaos. For attacks, it is as you said.
So Mantra of Destruction is a ton of fun to use on Tempest Bell. It makes the bell do extra Chaos damage. Your bell can proc off Hexblast as well as Dark Effigy and since Bell needs combos the same as MoD so it works well together.
I’ve done a lot of testing as well and I think best build for chayula is cast or freeze / cast on crit hexblast with hypothermia and despair in blasphemy. I’m running it with horizon for 100% crit and howl for spirit, it’s a very smooth clear speed build. Oh also I got 3 bells so I called this build “taco bell manager”.
Been trying to think up a way to get other monk skills to use chaos damage effectively. It's been difficult. This ascendancy just doesn't have enough support for it right now which is disappointing. and most people are just using other skills besides quarterstaff which is kinda lame.
Hey Drybear, I really like this build! The only issue I have with it is it seems Impending Doom doesn’t work with Hand of Chayula for me. Do you have an updated version of this build?
I wanna go full chaos, but leaving some wiggle room in case I wanna do one element with some penetrative. Doing quarter staff / crossbow build. Working really well so far, but for sure wanna see where you going with this.
I jsut started a Chaos Monk in HCSSF. I'm going with bows (rod + lightning arrow) early game with chaos spells to bolster my boss damage. Going to see how it works out. So far it's pretty fun but I haven't got too far yet to see how it pans out.
It’s actually really good, invoker just needs a nerf because of how strong elemental nodes are on the tree. As it stands chayula enables a lot of fun twists on the starting position, having strong potential as a minion build, a physical mage, a chaos mage, or a melee poisoner. invoker is just way simpler to scale.
The one thing that needs reworking is darkness. It’s just basically almost never worth it over access to spirit. Darkness is however pretty game breaking in trials of sekhema, because darkness reservation is not currently coded as taking damage.
it works because essence drain debuff is based off hit. for example if you do 100 dmg, it will apply 100 dmg dot and reality rending gives 100% more chaos dmg. so 100x2 =200 damage so you have 7% chance to do 2x dmg debuff.
They really need to look at mantra of destruction. 10 hits is so hard to do because hitting your bell doesn’t count and that’s a big part of melee monk gameplay. I don’t know if I will use this build because it’s so different from my melee reality rending build but it’s a great idea. I also didn’t know about the node that gives physical damage and converts it to chaos damage. I’m definitely pathing to it next time I play.
@@ryandugan9176 i think biggest issue behind mantra is the CAST TIME. it has 0.6 cast time and bell itself takes 0.5 second to cast. between that point, that's entire 1.2 second of not doing damage/idol time. i think the mantra would be 10X better if it had 0 cast time. Another bad thing about mantra is flame of chayuya stacks up 10 times but the whole problem is that it only stacks when you kill something. so if you go to a boss and there is no mobs, you have NOTHING to stack flame of chayuya. you only have base 33%. 8%x10 is 80% extra chaos dmg as hit. that's huge amount of damage you completely lose access to.
What do you go for defensively I feel like a super glass canon that can hit really well but I get mobbed badly and I followed this guide with minor changes for survivability based on my original theorycraft anybody got any input? Level 45 now
@ ok brother I am tenacious so I kept going and here’s the move: Mana leech. Mana leech, mana leech, mana leech. Redo your ascension points and focus on mana leech. I no longer regret my actions
chaos monk doesn't require you to use chaos damage. it's passive in ascension is that you have % chance to convert all your damage into chaos damage. it's like 25%, 50% and 100%. 7% to add 100% of all your damage into chaos damage. you run standard monk setup of tempest bell with any of the attacks. normally monk in leveling kinda incentives using ice because ice stuns enemy while shock doesn't but this version of monk sort of wants you to use lightning over ice because lightning attack has highest attackspeed steroid which means you spend most mana and since dark monk has this idea of mana leech, you attack, gain mana, spend mana. tempest monk build guide is all you need for chaos monk but i believe chaos monk is kinda optimal version Flicker strike monk because you can stack all damage types fire, lightning, ice and all of it will be convert into chaos damage at % chance. it also incentives picking up those nodes where it says "5% of your damage is cold damage". "11% of your damage is chaos damage", "10% of your x damage is physical". The gimmick of the build is to get 10 combo hits, activate mantra, than use flicker strike. the entire move in theory would deal chaos damage per power charge hit.
Doesn’t mana leech only work for physical damage? I haven’t gotten a lot of ascendancy points to test this but I don’t know if investing in mana leech is a good idea if your using an element build that converts physical to an element. The game wants you to use flames of chyulla to get mana leech but I don’t know how reliable that is.
Flicker strike is a purely physical damage ability. The largest leech component would be from flicker striking. Into the breach seems to be more of a leveling passive than anything else. It’s a stop gap until you fix your gear so you can leech consistently without it.
@@LycanDreams9159 that is correct. it only works physical damage. i wish it worked for chaos damage but i guess developer figured it would be overpowered if it worked for both your two main damage types. who knows? almost nobody is playing chaos monk so maybe it gets a buff. Into the breach just allows you to see flame of chyulla purple lines where if you walk on them, you gain life and mana back. I don't think it does anything for mana leech as far as i can see. You cannot use Tempest strike or Ice strike for Chaos monk because all your physical damage is being converted into ice damage and lightning damage. you have to use Whirlwind strike(that level 41 skill) at the end of the monk tree as it is only strike skill that does physical damage. it is only option to build your tempest bell and mantra which require combo meter.
Use frost strike to generate flicker strike and use flicker strike as your main damage ability. It scales better than whirlwind, and scales the bell better, and scales charge generation better, all while being faster, safer, and a much bigger gap closer. Yes, this means you are most vulnerable to a lack of leech when generating power charges, but the enemy is also frozen so it’s completely fine. The fact contagion allows you to convert chaos damage to extra chill and freeze just makes this so incredibly potent for flicker striking the second you get the skill.
personally dont like the acolyte just felt like i was playing a bad witch build or bad invoker build, there needs to be more chaos skills and darkness needs to add a lot for it to cut off a large portion of the customizability of the game system. visual affects would be cool too feel like if you have darkness all skills should have a color change to purple so purple ice lightning and fire would be epic.
i think darkness should not make you lose your spirit and it should instead give you spirit(Darkness) == to chaos added damage. the other node on the side gives you extra chaos damage == to darkness. right now, bottom side of tree is completely useless. it needs rework.
@ I don’t think it’s that hard to get crit , quatterstaffs have 10% base crit with some basic skill points I’ve gotten It up to 42% I can imagine getting up to the 50-60 if I tried more.
@@huz7531 if your not crit capping to at least 80%, you'll get less than 80% of the damage from crit damage. there is no way to increase base crit to 20-25% to get a realistically 400% critical chance to go to 100%. to illustrate my point, if you have 200% critical damage and 50% critical chance. you only gain 50% average damage increase. it's a lot better to invest into raw damage nodes or invest into attackspeed than invest into crit. there is simply not enough base crit chance in tree or on weapons to make crit relevant.
Monk is just awful imo, by far the least fun class. Conceptually weak too. D3 Monk is so much more interesting and fun and conceptually aligned. I want my monk to have fists as lethal weapons. Having to go AoC is just a half-butt witch. Garbage design imo.

16:55 if you plan to level with chaos dots, Reality Rending does not work for you. Dots are not considered hits? Correct me if i'm wrong :)
Correct, there's a hit component from life drain that will proc it., but until Hexblast reality rending won't be a major contributor to damage.

this does not work :(
i tought dots could not crit
The dot portion of essence drain cannot crit, but poison damage is determined by the hit which applies it, so scaling crit for that hit is very good.
Just so people know, the Original Sin ring will convert all elemental damage into chaos so you can play any weapon.
Where does it drop?
so, a monk cosplaying as a witch. 🙄
lol this game is so bad. It is like some of these ascendancies were afterthoughts.
