I was using a pure lightning build and it’s ridiculous to keep up the power charges. Can’t wait to adjust to this build and make my life so much easier.
It’s still possible with a lightning build, you just need to put Electrocute support gem on your main lightning attacks to build power charges, such as on your Tempest Flurry. Or you can use the unique glove that converts Shock into Electrocute
Yeah I've been looking up different ways to sustain power charges with ONLY lightning, but everywhere I've looked it seems like you're required to use some sort of cold damage for it to be viable. Very upsetting. Currently lvl 89, I clear T15 maps with ease, but boss fights are very slow.
I started playing monk 2 days ago and been following this guide. I'm level 39 and when I got charged staff and combat frenzy, I'm coursing through Act 3 without sweat. Thanks for this great build!
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it. You’ll continue to get more powerful as you level up just remember to prioritize getting good gear for cruel difficulty
Spent a bunch of gold trying out a different lightning build but after finding out that chaos frenzy can provide power charges I definitley want to try this out. Excellent build!
u can still use the Frenzy to Power charges in the lightning build, just use the support gem that gives Electrocute (but disables shock) on tempest flurry, you'll create charges non-stop
I’m so glad I saw this video. It made my ok struggle bussin trying to keep empowers build so much easier now. I just finished act 3 and I’m flying through the new play through.
Thanks for the guide, it helps me a lot for the end game. I followed another channel for the pure shock monk that carry me through all of my campaign but the build is not final and not enough for me to continue to the end game ( atlas map ) so I stuck and searching for other guide since there's lots of guide for monk build I found your build that like most so I give it shot and it worked. But I haven't finish The 2nd trial of sekhema yet.
Thank for you build now I’m lv.85 you build work really great. Until T15 I feel like I hit hard but I died fast as well wait for you to continue your build brother. Thank for great build
Are you planning to "finish" this build? Im doing tier 3 maps and enjoying this build a lot! Would like to see your approach on skill points and support gems. Thanks a lot, this build is truly S tier :)
Polcirkeln Sapphire Ring will be your best friend for this build. I got one for 1 divine orb few days ago and it's AMAZING!!! Enemies you chill shatter on hit as if they're frozen. Extra cold damage, and cold res too! Works wonders with Herald of Ice and Thunder
If you're not getting any power charges, make sure to activate combat frenzey by right clicking it otherwise it isnt doing anything, just spent way too long foguring that out lol. Fantastic build!
@@badmawone Yeah i'm 40 short of having all my passives online, it's something to work towards but i'd say the power charges are the most important, then either ghost or herald of ice, then lightning
Just made the gem setup for this to work on the build I was using. Thank god I’m not needing to use siphoning strike anymore. Cant wait to get this build online fully.
This is definitely going to be the next build I try, great work! Not sure if it's needed, whether it would help or not. But would electrocute support gem help with power charges at all, or are you gaining enough of them as the build is already?
Tried starting with a lightning sorcerer and just didn't feel fun to me. Started a monk and just started tracking into a lightning based attack build. Loving it so far.
Love the build thanks so much. Not sure if i'm doing something wrong but i have herald of thunder activated but don't really see it actually getting triggered.
I just got to maps and my current set up as a pure lightning Monk isn’t cutting it. Will look to make some adjustments with a bit of ice me thinks. Great vid 👍🏻
My boy ColdBwoyy this build its legit!!! I just modified it a lil because I felt it ended with very low Crit chance %, I've got to have my Crit Damage. What Crit Chance % you have? You won my like, comment and subscribed 🐵✌
I think this is solid, similar to what i run. Just very curious on how your mana sustain is at end game? Also once you unlock more ascendancies what your plan for those is. If you take ...And protect me from harm (physical resist) which is ideal because of how POE works, you will be hit dramatically rendering all of the spirit on your gear worthless and making your gear without Evasion not nearly as viable. just curious if you've planned that far out, or if you're kinda just winging it, regardless nice vid
I never ran out of mana. The build deals so much damage to the point where you’ll kill mobs before you even lose 25% of your mana bar and the regen is fast. For the rest, I’ll have to see once I reach level 100 👍
Hehey! Great video, im going to try that out immediately. Im at about 100 spirit rn, what would you say is the order of importsnce for spirit reservers on the build?
@@vladomarkoski6855 You can either run lower skills to take up less spirit or get gear that boosts your spirit level to give you what you need. Also be aware that certain support skills will increase the spirit amount required, so just be mindful of what you’re attaching.
Fun build and pretty effective, though I'm struggling with it into T15+.. Probably gear issues and lack of chaos res. I've taken points of of Deep Trance, Shimmering, the evasion nodes at the beginning of the tree and pathed across from the Herald nodes into the evasion there (Bestial Skin, Enhanced Focus) and am planning to go through the dex nodes to Falcon Technique, then try stacking Dex for attack speed.. If anyone could consult / provide links to gear for 80+ that'd be appreciated.. I'm experimenting with Polcirkeln (Unique Ring) right now. Seems quite effective but there's probably a better option. Also struggling to get above 135 spirit but haven't done 3rd / 4th ascendancy yet.
I’m going to upload and updated version in the near future but to answer your question yes I increased my survivability drastically by using the “Wind Dancer” buff from ranger skill gems. I added vitality, clarity and blind support gems to it too. And I increased my attack speed even further with the falcon technique passive skill.
i was cooking up about the same thing, i tried frost but respecced for lighning untill i get charged staff and combat frenzy, after that it is ice strike + charged staff ftw to get max value , still trying to find a way to fit both herald's in , i have chest with +30 spirit but it wont hold up once i get high enough level
Make sure you complete every side quest you should get 60 spirit alone from the story I believe. Have you used the path of exile trading website to get gear??
@@ColdBwoyyi am trying tot clear everything i see but no, i have not used the trading site, not to sure how it works..i am new tot Poe but it has been a blast so far..quiet happy to see this build tbh because i was asking myself if it would hold up

U can drop unbound avatar for evasion to spirit skills in ascendancy tree. Than take nodes and gear that pumps only evasion and u have same spirit values without need to having them on ur gear and free armor rating also without a gear - only one peace is enough cuz it will be multipied to the roof thx to asc skill :) i have like 100 armor boots only rest is all in evasion and my armor rating is 61 ;)
Thanks for the build. I was struggling bad end game. This atleast helps me be viable until i get the very rare gear. At first i was struggling to use till i got the skill rotation down. I use blind on the ice teleport move since thats the first move i use and it soreads to everyone giving me a chance to kill them with them being able to git me back.
Ah okay 👍 But I see it would require some spirit as well.. I guess I will have some more soon during the campaign.. have 60 now, but can equip gear with + spirit🤔
Do we need to do the Sekhemas Trial for this build to work? I am lvl 26 and have been following this build since the start and now I am stuck. I can't do the trial, even with other players' help. I want to move on with the main objectives but I don't know if I should skip the Trial.
Firstly congratulations on the incredible content, it has helped me a lot with my monk! In attribute points, what should I prioritize? Intelligence or dexterity?
@@ColdBwoyy This build. I'm finding that my resistances are lower than I expected even with my gear having resistances. I'm sitting like -17% lightning resistance with 3 pieces of my gear having 17%+ lightning resistance. Maybe more... That's just off the top of my head anyways. I might be closer to five.
@@staticwingyour resistances are nerfed in cruel difficulty. You lose 30% I believe so it’s important to have 2 resistances on every single piece of gear so you can reach the cap of 75% for end game
I took off unbound avatar and replaced it with i am thunder (i think thats what its called). Feels alot better. Not sure we need unbound avatar the damage is already elite... Just feels smoother.
I've been following the guide but Shockwave never triggers from charge staff, why do you think this might be? The only difference in skills is I have shock wave equipped, is that why? Thanks in advance.
How the heck did you get an amulet with 48 spirit on it? Getting that doesn't seem so easy. I'm only level 54 and I have a ways to go to get this build to where you have it, but I'm loving it. Makes the game feel much more fast paced when warping to attack. I'll be looking out for the progress vid for this build. Hopefully it doesn't change too much.
There’s a path of exile trading website where you can get the exact gear pieces you want in exchange for in game currency. Trading is part of the game you should check it out!
@@ColdBwoyy I wound up getting passive spirit that I missed during Act II of my first playthrough. You got my sub because this build RIPS and I'm loving it! Can't wait for the Level 100 sequel vid!
May i suggest 2 points odd man out to increase ur damage even further. i found "Thin Ice" to be stunning for bosses. 50% increase on damage on frozen enemies. Top right of the tree
I’m new to Poe in general and I’m trying to utilize the power charge part of this video. Everything said I have equipped but shock doesn’t give a charge a when I use siphoning strike on a shocked enemy it gives me endurance charges. Any help would be appreciated
@ I’m using almost same passive tree to your 2-3 video, if I’m going with this build should I just go with this passive tree or stick with the 2-3 until I’m end game ready?
Great buid but Combat Frenzy text says you gain a Frenzy charge whenever you, "Freeze, Electrocute, or Pin an enemy", nothing about Shocking an enemy, does this affect the build any?
So your question is which attribute points go where ? Like are you asking exactly which points to select on the skill tree? Who cares which attribute points are which so long as the amount of total skill is achieved. +5 is a +5 is a +5 makes no fucking difference which +5 you choose. JFC do you NEED to be spoon fed EXACTLY which nodes “you” should “choose”.
What do you mean apply status effects for combat frenzy and resonance? Once I put them on and kill shocked enemies with tempest flurry will I gain power charges?
great vid. for some reason i don't get charges at all I've got everything set up as in vid ? I'm not sure what is stopping me from getting charges can someone help me please.
@@richardmossopwhen you socket a spirit skill like combat frenzy, you also have to activate it by allocating your spirit points. I play controller though I’m not exactly sure how to do it on PC.
I follow the written build and I'm using combat frenzy with the profusion socket and I'm freezing but I still can't get it to build up for me to use my charged staff is there something else I need u sorry for nothing u
i have combat frenzy and resonance on the skill tree but energy charges still arent populating on their own, i still have to use killing palm to get the charge and its a red charge spinning around my body now instead of a blue one so when i try to activate charged staff it wont activate...what am i missing?
Lvl 90 monk here usung ice atrike. 100k dps its alot stronger than my previois tempest build as well. Running 3 bells for bossing and rest are chagred staff and spirit skills. Steamrolling t15s. @q3sebo
I would send a picture but cant find how lol its say fire dmg contribute to shock instead of ignite and magnitude same for cold with ignite and aame for shock vs freez build up it has 15 to all resist also
@@ColdBwoyy No, u definitely got an extra skill in there listed. I had to remove Ghost Dance as i didn't have a space for it and using the skill slots completely
@@ColdBwoyyive been playing this similarly with just lightning damage using kitikos gloves, your opinion? Still lower level, so not sure if just using multiple elements is just better, but ive enjoyed those gloves with the frenzy to power charge mechanic on electrocuted
@@ColdBwoyy i have both activated and have enough spirit (60) but using tempest flurry to try to get the charges started (before i have any to begin with) i find myself killing shocked enemies and never getting charges.
@@ColdBwoyy additonally i am only in chapter 3 first play thorugh so i dont have the ice skills, but the electric build should by all means work, im sorry if this sounds confusing but there has to be some reason why combat frenzy, herald, resonance, and supported gems arent working. can i not use temptest flurry to activate charges?
all i am using on tempest flurry are crescendo, martial tempo, and coursing current, nothing that would negate the effects of the afformentioned build?
Just got oneshotted by first meeting with Jamanra in hardcore league, but build is really good actually xD I was on autopilot, inattentively clearing waves of mobs, and then I entered the arena and died with oneshot
1) 20 Hp on kill in the weapon is a massive DPS loss for only 20 HP per kill, less effective with more HP. 2x +20% Physical DMG is the way to go. 2) No attack speed on staff is another big DPS waste, thats why u have obly 1.4 attacks per second, which is very low. You need attackspeed for T15+ maps, for dmg and faster aoe explosions as well as CC (freeze etc).
Idc what people say get gud or what not but im in act e and doing very little damage following guide and its getting me no were my first dabilo like game btw so new to this type of game
From your skill tree it looks like you have 44 unused skill points from your set passive points? Good video though, just reached end game and planning to switch up my pure lightning build.
@@ColdBwoyyYeah, that's a big chunk o' power! It's when you're going through the skilltree, from like 10m 55s on. In the top right it shows you have 1 regular skill point unused but the two set weapon passive points under that read 22 (22); 22 (22). That's how they display for me when they're unused. Right now I have 3 unused points for each weapon slot, and have 24 unlocked in total, so mine reads 3 (24); 3 (24). I'm on ps5 so maybe it displays differently or something. But I'm 11 levels lower than you are in the video and I seem to have quite a few more skill points used compared to your tree. I know I found it really hard to actually allocate them cos the toggle to apply them on each node is weird.
@@hurrayforanonymsI don’t think that’s how it works. That’s your skill point allocation to that specific weapon set. How many weapons are you using on your build?
@@ColdBwoyy I just use a quarterstaff, so just one weapon. But, ugg, have I just been pumping those set weapon points into nodes for no good reason?? Should I just not have used them for my quarterstaff-only monk? Sorry if I've just completely misunderstood how they work!
Need evasion/ES to boost it thru gear. Check ur gear an see that it's adding spirit. Also this build doesn't require that passive to begin with. U can safely relocate that point

Seems that it cant be played unless you have completed act 3 in normal and cruel.. due to required spirit. Unless you get spirit gear of course.
Yes spirit is very important but you can get spirit on your body armor and amulet if you look for it on the trading website!
How do i get more spirit to have 2 passives ?
When would you recommend start omg this? I am Lvl. 46 in act 3. Currently playing your previous monk build.
As soon as you can! Maybe around level 50-60
@ I’m curious- what is the min spirit required in your opinion?
I took off unbound avatar and replaced it with i am thunder (i think thats what its called). Feels alot better. Not sure we need unbound avatar the damage is already elite... Just feels smoother.
Yeah good point. The extra burst damage is nice for rare enemies tho! But I’ll give it a try 🫡
I've been following the guide but Shockwave never triggers from charge staff, why do you think this might be? The only difference in skills is I have shock wave equipped, is that why?
Thanks in advance.
How the heck did you get an amulet with 48 spirit on it? Getting that doesn't seem so easy. I'm only level 54 and I have a ways to go to get this build to where you have it, but I'm loving it. Makes the game feel much more fast paced when warping to attack. I'll be looking out for the progress vid for this build. Hopefully it doesn't change too much.
There’s a path of exile trading website where you can get the exact gear pieces you want in exchange for in game currency. Trading is part of the game you should check it out!
@@ColdBwoyy I wound up getting passive spirit that I missed during Act II of my first playthrough. You got my sub because this build RIPS and I'm loving it! Can't wait for the Level 100 sequel vid!
May i suggest 2 points odd man out to increase ur damage even further. i found "Thin Ice" to be stunning for bosses. 50% increase on damage on frozen enemies. Top right of the tree
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that, I'm always looking for ways to improve the build.
Can you share Better Trading to find the items?
I’m new to Poe in general and I’m trying to utilize the power charge part of this video. Everything said I have equipped but shock doesn’t give a charge a when I use siphoning strike on a shocked enemy it gives me endurance charges. Any help would be appreciated
Is this the same build from your Act 2-3 Monk build? Looks like your passive skills here are a little different from your 2-3 video
Yes it’s the same build. I refunded some passives to make the build better
@ I’m using almost same passive tree to your 2-3 video, if I’m going with this build should I just go with this passive tree or stick with the 2-3 until I’m end game ready?
@@goodlyfes you should switch to what I have in this video as soon as possible!
@@ColdBwoyy thanks my man! Your builds are goated.
Don’t frenzy charges activate on electrocute and not shocked ?
Yeah you’re right. Sorry about that!
Great buid but Combat Frenzy text says you gain a Frenzy charge whenever you, "Freeze, Electrocute, or Pin an enemy", nothing about Shocking an enemy, does this affect the build any?
No you’re right. You’ll gain frenzy charges from freezing enemies only 👍 sorry for the confusion
There is a support skill gem that converts shocks to electrocution. Can use that.
There are also some gloves that convert all lightning damage to electrocution buildup which i found quite nice for this.
Hey quick question on your skill tree where did you dump the +5 attribute into dex and int?
Mainly DEX but you will need intelligence to meet requirements for cold skills
@ColdBwoyy hey another question how do you get higher levels of support gems I'm flooded with level 1s
@@DLiMiT973I think in act 2 you start getting the rank 2 support gems. I just made it passed 3 and I haven’t seen tier 3 support yet.
So your question is which attribute points go where ? Like are you asking exactly which points to select on the skill tree? Who cares which attribute points are which so long as the amount of total skill is achieved. +5 is a +5 is a +5 makes no fucking difference which +5 you choose. JFC do you NEED to be spoon fed EXACTLY which nodes “you” should “choose”.
@@Foo3thoo lighten the hell up dude, this is no where near the place to jump down someone's throat for asking questions
What do you mean apply status effects for combat frenzy and resonance? Once I put them on and kill shocked enemies with tempest flurry will I gain power charges?
Do you have the combat frenzy skill and resonance passive skill unlocked?
@@ColdBwoyy I do yeah but when i put them on the other day i was getting frenzy charges, clearly had something wrong ima try again in a few hours
@@thomasmcshane2438 if you have resonance unlocked you should be getting energy charges not frenzy charges

@@tmiles3852 thank you man i had no idea what was going wrong, appreciate it
I’ve watched your video multiple times and yet I can’t understand how can you get power charges without killing palm ?
Combat frenzy and resonance
Im using lightening only build monk and am in act 2 on cruel is it wise to change it up abit i havent tried charge staff yet
You won’t regret adding the ice skills and charged staff trust me
Ok cheers@@ColdBwoyy
great vid. for some reason i don't get charges at all I've got everything set up as in vid ? I'm not sure what is stopping me from getting charges can someone help me please.
1. Are you freezing enemies
2. Do you combat frenzy active
3. Do you have resonance unlocked in your passive tree?
@@ColdBwoyy enemies are freezing, i dont know how to activate combat frenzy? ive right clicked it nothing, and i have resonance unlocked?
@@richardmossopwhen you socket a spirit skill like combat frenzy, you also have to activate it by allocating your spirit points. I play controller though I’m not exactly sure how to do it on PC.
@@ColdBwoyy ive sorted it thx man
What level are you? When this was made.? I’m lvl 56 right now
I was level 80 when this video was made
Dumb question how are u building up to use charged staff plz help
By freezing enemies
I follow the written build and I'm using combat frenzy with the profusion socket and I'm freezing but I still can't get it to build up for me to use my charged staff is there something else I need u sorry for nothing u
@@esogods5526do you have the resonance passive skill unlocked in your tree?
how do you those lightning streaks on the ground?
i have combat frenzy and resonance on the skill tree but energy charges still arent populating on their own, i still have to use killing palm to get the charge and its a red charge spinning around my body now instead of a blue one so when i try to activate charged staff it wont activate...what am i missing?
Are you freezing enemies?
Use ice strike i am lvl 72 invoker and its 18k normal and up to 28k dmg while on full charged staff its brutal ;)
You need to activate Combat frenzy in your skills panel for it to work :)
Lvl 90 monk here usung ice atrike. 100k dps its alot stronger than my previois tempest build as well. Running 3 bells for bossing and rest are chagred staff and spirit skills. Steamrolling t15s. @q3sebo
how can you gain power charges against boss since i cant freeze or electrocute bosses
You should be able to freeze bosses
How much evasion do you recommend? I currently have 75%
That’s really good
What level of maps are you completing with this build
I can do 12 and 13 easily without any struggle. Haven’t had any 15s drop yet though. Might buy some to try it out.
How is your ice strike so fast? I have all the same nodes but feels a bit slower? @@ColdBwoyy
@@Soulofcinder78increase the quality of your skill it increases the attack speed
What level support gem is combat frenzy?
Combat frenzy is a spirit gem. You need a level 8 spirit gem to unlock it.
@@ColdBwoyy awesome thanks man 🙏
Can you tell me if this would help the build i just drop this and it look interesting a solid mask unique the three dragon
I would send a picture but cant find how lol its say fire dmg contribute to shock instead of ignite and magnitude same for cold with ignite and aame for shock vs freez build up it has 15 to all resist also
How did you get the 10th skill slot?
Should be unlocked by default
@@ColdBwoyy No, u definitely got an extra skill in there listed. I had to remove Ghost Dance as i didn't have a space for it and using the skill slots completely
Playable with chayula ascendancy?
Yes
What level do you need to be for this to work? Cuz i beat act 3 at level 40
You can start building it as early as level 50
@@ColdBwoyygreat! Thanks man! Great video!
@@bobbyleffel7026 I appreciate you watching 🫡
@@ColdBwoyyive been playing this similarly with just lightning damage using kitikos gloves, your opinion? Still lower level, so not sure if just using multiple elements is just better, but ive enjoyed those gloves with the frenzy to power charge mechanic on electrocuted
herald of thunder and combat frenzy along with respected support gems and passive resonance straight up not working for me, i am getting zero charges
Are you sure you have the spirit skill activated. It can be on your build, but you still have to use spirit to activate it.
Make sure you allocate your spirit points to your necessary spirit skills
@@ColdBwoyy i have both activated and have enough spirit (60) but using tempest flurry to try to get the charges started (before i have any to begin with) i find myself killing shocked enemies and never getting charges.
@@ColdBwoyy additonally i am only in chapter 3 first play thorugh so i dont have the ice skills, but the electric build should by all means work, im sorry if this sounds confusing but there has to be some reason why combat frenzy, herald, resonance, and supported gems arent working. can i not use temptest flurry to activate charges?
all i am using on tempest flurry are crescendo, martial tempo, and coursing current, nothing that would negate the effects of the afformentioned build?
I started off as a sorcerer, and I turned my sorcerer into a Chrono Manor staff, but combat frenzy, not working. Anyone know why?
charged stuff spell is not working on my monk how can i fix it ???
What do you mean it’s not working?
@@ColdBwoyy I can't using that spell and it's not charging, i don't understand why :(
POE2 should add like a chilled staff (similar to charged staff but cold damage)
Why do we want less critical hit chance btw? I saw on passive tree
how come you dont use a support slot for every available option?
Just got oneshotted by first meeting with Jamanra in hardcore league, but build is really good actually xD
I was on autopilot, inattentively clearing waves of mobs, and then I entered the arena and died with oneshot
1) 20 Hp on kill in the weapon is a massive DPS loss for only 20 HP per kill, less effective with more HP. 2x +20% Physical DMG is the way to go.
2) No attack speed on staff is another big DPS waste, thats why u have obly 1.4 attacks per second, which is very low.
You need attackspeed for T15+ maps, for dmg and faster aoe explosions as well as CC (freeze etc).
Already updated all this 👍 it’s been almost 2 weeks since I dropped the video
@@ColdBwoyy Will u drop updated guide anytime soon? I'm loving this build so far! Thanks man :)
Level 3 uncut support gems don't drop until late act2 cruel...this build slaps even with a partial setup
Level 3 uncut haven’t dropped for me yet and I’m at the end of act 3.
@@xOmumblesOx cruel! so after commpleting the story once
@@rico3246so how long into the game, 100 hours? 200? That’s an awful long time for a build to “get good”.
@@Foo3thooshutup m8 get good
When you electrocute you gain charges not when you shock they’re two different things
Yes, you are correct. I didn’t even catch that until after the video sorry for the confusion.
@@ColdBwoyy no worries it’s easy to get mixed up 🤣
Anyone know why Profusion isn't showing up for me in the gem book?
Idc what people say get gud or what not but im in act e and doing very little damage following guide and its getting me no were my first dabilo like game btw so new to this type of game
From your skill tree it looks like you have 44 unused skill points from your set passive points?
Good video though, just reached end game and planning to switch up my pure lightning build.
Where do you see 44 unused points? That’s a lot 😅😂
@@ColdBwoyyYeah, that's a big chunk o' power!
It's when you're going through the skilltree, from like 10m 55s on. In the top right it shows you have 1 regular skill point unused but the two set weapon passive points under that read 22 (22); 22 (22). That's how they display for me when they're unused. Right now I have 3 unused points for each weapon slot, and have 24 unlocked in total, so mine reads 3 (24); 3 (24).
I'm on ps5 so maybe it displays differently or something. But I'm 11 levels lower than you are in the video and I seem to have quite a few more skill points used compared to your tree. I know I found it really hard to actually allocate them cos the toggle to apply them on each node is weird.
@@hurrayforanonymsI don’t think that’s how it works. That’s your skill point allocation to that specific weapon set. How many weapons are you using on your build?
@@ColdBwoyy I just use a quarterstaff, so just one weapon. But, ugg, have I just been pumping those set weapon points into nodes for no good reason??
Should I just not have used them for my quarterstaff-only monk? Sorry if I've just completely misunderstood how they work!
Once you get higher levels monk is completely busted and probably best class in the game
I believe it!
Whats better lighting monk or ice monk
Ice & Lightning obv
i don't understand why my spirit is locked at 47 even if i have the invoker perk to increase it
Need evasion/ES to boost it thru gear. Check ur gear an see that it's adding spirit. Also this build doesn't require that passive to begin with. U can safely relocate that point
just notice u took the spectral ward node in the tree but you are playing with an es chest be careful
How do you have 11 skill slots?
I don’t. I’m using 10 skills.
@@ColdBwoyy I placed all the skills you have except one and i don't know why it won't let me place it
