New to PoE, 6hrs into the game, still in Act 1 and man!! Really needed this video. Learnt so damn much. I'm a min-maxer and this video extremely helps me in making progress the way I want to. Thanks so much man!
I am also a PoE virgin playing the Monk. I thought it would be funny to max out my Evasion rating. Didn't realise how difficult that would be, but I'm currently around 80% Evasion and only in Act 2. The Act 1 boss was so easy, because most of his attacks couldn't hit me. I didn't realise the Evasion rating threshold increases as you level up (I'm assuming other stats do, as well) so it's been a challenge to keep that rating up as I level, but it's been an enjoyable challenge.
That evasion rating is based on white/normal enemies. It's much lower for magic/rare/bosses. Your resistances are also lowered as you progress in the campaign.
@Disco_Potato Well that's not very exciting. However, I was just standing there allowing the boss to swing at me and I wasn't taking any damage, so I guess it was still high enough.
I super struggled with act 1 boss, mainly the wolves that mob ya. Had no crowd control. Kinda cool with evasion! Suits the monks theme really well. I am thinking of going towards evasion now, I got good damage but I die very quick!
Good stuff Myelin. I'm still learning my way through this stuff too. I had no clue that tempest built combo, thanks. Only in act 2 but worked on my gear last night and absolutely started demolishing the baddies. I'm using a crackling staff with lots of lighting and a touch of every other element and loving it. I still don't know what to do with my secondary weapon slot and how that plays into the build. Like if i have 2 quarterstaffs do i get the benefits from both? I currently threw on an orange wizard staff because it's fancy and shiny but don't use it ever. Maybe i was hoping it's massive lightning perks would add to my damage but i don't know how to tell.
I’m mid game and I have a hard time freezing as the build up takes so long even when I put cold supports on my storm wave. In terms of electrocuting, I don’t get any procs (given I don’t have the electrocute support). Is that the only way to electrocute? I can’t get the support gem for that and I’m on Act III. You’re right about the bell though it does give me charges very quickly even if I hit the bell without mobs around. Given that’s the only way I get power charges it’s a risk and reward game for me since we are so squishy either I die first or love and destroy everything I’ve charge procs. Any tips? Lastly, how do you get your storm wave to go so far? Mine is barely mid range.
I don't think so. After 10 years of destiny lore, I am really enjoying videos that require me to play the game. Haha. Lore often felt like discovering something and then teaching, and I am getting a lot of those good feelings from these videos.
It is rough going early. Like I said, my biggest game changer was picking up spells from elemental or occult. No weapon requirement, and just intellect. I juts bone circled a lot early game.

Have to stop watching part way cause I’m going blind, but great learn-along-the-way content man! I’ve been having so much fun with monk
Going blind? With special effects?
Happy to see you on PoE2 as well 😃 looking forward to all your guides! Think you'll do any lore vids on it?
I don't think so. After 10 years of destiny lore, I am really enjoying videos that require me to play the game. Haha. Lore often felt like discovering something and then teaching, and I am getting a lot of those good feelings from these videos.
Monks are cool.
Does the class variant that I pick matter?
Yes. Pick invoker
Yes.
POE lore video soon?
Damn I thought my monk was good until I saw this...
Monke
Early game monk is just not fun, having no AOE and getting swarmed by basic mobs.
only until lvl 14
so hang in there
@@Tchiva What u recommend in lvl 14?
I assume that is when tempest bell comes online. Once you get there, monk turns on! Haha
