You’re a pioneer rn in trying to theory craft this build. Think there’s any way this could be made to work on a “dark ice” monk? One that uses chaos damage and cold spells or skills maybe. Love this build and how creative it is. Think this ascendancy is unpopular bc it doesn’t seem to synergies well w a typical monk play style that uses melee and elemental
The slow on vine arrow doesnt work at the moment so you can unslot that if you are only using it for slow. I am doing a Chayula Monk Poison as well but using Gas Arrow and Vine arrow for damage and then Rain of arrows for stacking Wither. Life based with 26% MoM at the moment but looking into full MoM CI or ES CI like you, just dont have the currency yet. Just got to maps. Thanks for the video, always nice seeing different out of meta builds
Super interesting build, thank you for sharing. I have been trying to do alot of tests on how poison "actually" works, now at Tier 4 maps I have problems with survivability. Will for sure take inspiration from you. Great work!
I’m playing something very similar! one thing I think you could add, near CI there is a few nodes that make a % of dmg go through your mana first. Those are another strong defensive layer here! its 3 points for 16% of damage goes to mana
thank you for sharing this! I was thinking CI/MoM and mana leech for my character too, but I realized the leech is only on physical and my build is totally built around ice strike skill. Do you think its still worth to take the passive nodes to increment physical? Maybe adding the support gem that gives +30% too. I'm afraid the leech percentage would be too low regardless, considering the ice damage
Awesome build dude! I’ve just completed Act 3 with this build. Been using poison burst along side rain of arrows. I tried only rain but it just felt too clunky. I’ve gone embrace the darkness as well as until I have the ES mana leech set up I don’t see much use for spirit
Thank you for the interesting video! I am also currently in early endgame running an Acolyte of Chayula poison build, so this is really insightfull. I was wondering whether you have considered running the Snakebite unique gloves for the +1 poison stack?
Have you thought of running Despair in your kit? Not a bad thing to proc against bosses along with Snipers mark using Hand of Chayula. Could be an option for your last slot? Also it might be worth investing in some breach rings. The notable from the ascendancy ‘apparently’ (cause I haven’t tested it) always counts you as being in a breach while active which would in theory mean that you’re always getting the 2x bonus from breach rings. Awesome build though dude! Also like others trying to make this ascendancy work and am currently theory crafting similar things. I don’t think it’s possible but I’m setting the challenge of doing a quarter staff build for a poison stacking build :)
Hi, do you have something in mind to make Rain of Arrow to be more consistent in hitting the enemy, or other physical alternative other than Snipe, tried that one and it feels clunky
as an alternative to the vine arrow, have you considered a hand of chayula slotted with despair? you can slot it with the skill gem that adds decay to make it proliferate into contagion and get a big chaos resist reduction on mobs
thanks for the nice video! I think there's two things that could be improved here. one) chaos inoculation isn't worth it. too far away and together with the stun threshold issue it's such a big investment. Eternal youth is great though! Even though our ascendancy makes it so our ES doesn't recharge, no one says our life cant. So we take eternal youth and negate the negative aspect of our ascendancy, but this works only if we have health! I think it's better to rely on the ascendancy to give chaos res and then take the random chaos damage last. Also, with saving the those points you can take the +11 chaos damage which is huge + the 10% pyhs as extra chaos. it's crazy. I'm playing this with wind monk. This is fun but no one is doing it. my build works but I wanna keep it for myself for a bit longer
last thing. I think the 16% damage taken form mana before life is a must. This is pure 16% effective health as we never run out of mana with our leech. Best defensive nodes on our side of the tree
Hi thank you for sharing. I’m a new player and I have a question. Mana leeched is active on physical damage only or elemental damage can leech mana too?
Hey man, trying this now on a low budget setup just to see how stuff gets going for me. I currently have 12.7% main hand mana leech from physical attacks showing on my Rain of Arrows skill info panel, and it's feeling kinda weak. I definitely need more %increased mana leech on tree. Can you tell me how much % you have showing on that panel? Appreciate the vid, it's a cool setup.
You have created nearly exactly what I was theory crafting all week, but I'm only level 33 and have no evasion. Was leveling this difficult? I can* get through most maps slowly but bosses are where I need to ask friends for help more than half the time.
another couple questions: You can CULL with wind dancer? That doesn't seem to make sense, but if it works AWESOME. Also, why bursting plague on freezing Salvo? Doesn't do any poison damage, but... it still procs the poison from rain of arrows? Again doesnt seem to make sense but if it works that way, awesome!
Can you confirm that you are indeed recovering ES from consuming questions. Half of the community thinks it’s broken.. the other half says it works with physical only and you need leach phys dmg as mana
Hi, by clearing delirium content you can get instill you amulet with a passive from your skill tree for those materials. You can see the needed materials by holding ALT over your passive you want.
@@sprEEEzy I don't seem to find that information on the "magnitude" tooltip, neither chance to inflict. I could be wrong, but crit might be holding you back.
You should use the other asecendancy prob ifu like the cold/light elemental type playstyle. It synergises better. Chayula is more of the chaos / rot build type.
I wonder if you can turn the build into something that is both immortal and one-shot with widowhail + 40 lvl gem setup via vine arrow like jungroan did.
Any luck leeching mana?? I know it has been a huge issue and has not been working at all. They say they fixed it during the last patch but I'm still seeing threads on the forum saying it's not working
Running plague bearer instead of herald since contagion should be spreading poison. Also I find ES leech inconsistent, my mana goes from 0 to 100% in half a second while my ES is just chilling low
@@sprEEEzy I don't know if I'm dumb or what but it seems my ES leech is higher on rare/boss mobs. I made tests with poison burst arrow. Against a rare 35-50 ish ES per shot against whites/blues 10-15. Maybe I am doing more damage to rares? I don't know this is weird.
I just tried this build using my lvl 67 Chayula monk, budget of only 15ex, I no longer have to face death several times and just tank everything 😂 Thanks for the build. Still on map tier 3 tho.
You need to try this with the corpsewade unique. Its absolutely broken if youre scaling chaos/poison. I dont have any poison in my chayula hexblast build but it absolutely goes crazy. It honestly is so broken that I believe a nerf is needed. If you need me to describe more, imagine triggering a poison every STEP that scales off double the base damage of Detonate Dead. Its fucking bonkers
Thanks for this, been theory crafting a similar build, is it not worth going for chaos damage nodes to ramp the poisons? Im not sure what the scaling is between Chaos damage +10% vs poison damage +10%? Was consideing using the darkness reserve modifier (+5% damage for uneeserved damage) aling with massive evasion to sxale up massive choas damage maybe?
You get diminishing returns at a certain point for evasion, blocking etc. Or you can even reach a hard cap (75% in poe1) Energy shield you can buff into infinity. And body armor gives the biggest armor stat (e shield, armor, evasion)
@@oWarlock360o yeah, but if Eshield scales out of flat rating on the body arour (from a node), then perhaps it could overall give more than base eshield armor. Also, i could get body armor as the sole evasion piece for that purpose and cap on it alone
@@ever_grey4468 I don't think you could get that much tho. 12 evasion = 1 es At least 1200 evasion = 100 es. Having 1 exalt could get you at least 400-500es armor instead which is better imo. I could reach 50-60% evasion atm using 15exalt build. PS: afaik, the 100% more evasion from body armour node won't be counted in the 12eva = 1es calc.
been watching for a few days and doing my own rendition on this build! will drop some notes when I can - but for now check out Momentum support for toxic growth - its jump movement, if executed well (can get pretty consistent with triggering good jumps based on cursor-to-player placement) so you can take advantage of that +40% MORE damage
@@sprEEEzy do you know what the benefits of the chaos cultist bow are and if they scale differently with a poison build? Or is a physical dmg bow better for poison builds?
I think for plan of spreading as high as possible poison, poison arrow would be better. Higher attack base. You could also add curse (-chaos res) with support giving it chaos dot, so it also spread. That should boost dmg nicely.
Cant belive u cant change ascendency, i came to this by acident and chose what looked like ok thing, thinking ofc i can change it later... fuck. Some warning for new players would be nice, like 10 popups "are you sure!?!?!"
@@sprEEEzy from what people are saying, there's few skills that gain absurd numbers after gem level 36+. in case of Vine Arrow it gets 150k flat chaos damage. which is most likely a bug.
How are you handling bleed? doesn't that damage types bypass energy shield? isnt bleed a physical dot? I think poison also bypasses but its chaos so CI should make you immune to that, but what is the bleed solution?
By nature of bleed and poison changes in poe 2 they now can only be inflicted to damage to your health. Effectively making CI immune to bleed and poison now.
He had me until he said this is one of the better ascendency in the game. All of them are conditional, no synergy, and have they fix instant mana leech? A week ago it didn’t work. The ES CI route is great bc poe2 ES take 2x dmg from chaos. Poison, bleed all bypass ES. That’s why ES nodes on the tree have huge amount of % increase. But your build will finally get tested in red maps and breach. Until then almost any decent build with some def is breeze thru.
Edit 2: I guess it does spread poisons now. That is wild! Very cool. Contagion is not spreading poisons FYI. Poison is an ailment, not a debuff. Contagion only spreads debuffs. Since you’re not really scaling spell/debuff/DOT damage, this is a wasted gem slot that could be put to better use probably. Edit: although it is spreading and refreshing the withered stacks as it spreads them, so that is nice and clever.

I just come across a pair of gloves called plaguefinger that contributes all damage to poison so that might work
I'd like to see that. My thought was curse stacking with hands of chayula and blast them all with hexblast.
@hadson2460 since hexblast hits pretty hard it should be a good poison
I don't think this will work. You need the initial "hit" to be pure phys. Flicker strike could work I guess

Spirit is pretty useless in campaign for AoC until poison herald
have you tried crossbow skills ? fragmentation rounds seems like it could work well but i dont know
This is very creative. Love seeing people make up interesting new combos
I had planned out a somewhat similar build but i was thinking of using snipe to guarantee the big crit. Is there a reason you didn't go that route?
Snipe's a bit clunky, but it could work.
Would really like another update on your build if you’re still running this or how it’s changed if any. Love the videos by the way!
Thank you for the interesting video! I am also currently in early endgame running an Acolyte of Chayula poison build, so this is really insightfull. I was wondering whether you have considered running the Snakebite unique gloves for the +1 poison stack?
Hey, they look interesting, but I'm not sure you can afford such an item in terms of losing resistances and leech.
I am confused if i should take spetrcal ward (evasion into ES on body) hence going for Evasion or flat ES on the body like you did.
