I tell you what, the lines on the ground that come out for that lightning ability is fucking stellar looking. GGG really knocked it out of the park on move affects IMO. This build looks really fun, and I'll be honest, it's hard to enjoy this game because I want to play so many builds that I start getting FOMO even though my build is amazing haha. I go man I wanna play that next!, but I already had 2 other builds I wanted to play so now it's just a list of what I want to play.
For anyone struggling with power charges, here’s another alternative for pure lightning: use Combat Frenzy with Profusion Support with the Resonance node. Put Electrocute Support on Tempest Flurry and Neural Overload Support on Herald of Thunder. This should very reliably electrocute enemies nearly on CD
@ yeah I’ll eventually prob fix it another way but it was a super cheap alternative just getting into maps (some uniques are already going up in price sadly)
Snipers mark is a spell with a low cast time thus low energy needed for meta casting. With enough spirit you can cast on (whatever you do the most) snipers mark. You should generate charges faster than charged staff buffs length. You can also do the exact same build with the cold spammable as long as you don't take cold support on it. Charged staff will still shock. That chest with falling thunder is awesome though! I think stacking as much as crit as possible is going to be the best way to build invoker. Straight up damage, snipers mark procs and ignore resistances on crit. Ignore resistances doesn't just mean we don't need pen for 1 element it means we can use as many elements as we want. If you stay full lightning for mapping you can use grim feast for energy shield remnants that overflow.
According to the Maxroll guide, for Charged Staff, once you have 4 support sockets available you want Coursing Current, Persistence, Innervate & Conduction.
thanks for the great tips. i heard that there is a side quest in act3 that rewards you with a choice of 5 charms, one of those is called the charm of apprentice or summit like that. the charm gives immune to shock, might help with your build.
I've never loved builds that depend on key wearable pieces like this and historically have always preferred to use gems to get there so there is more freedom to experiment. That's said I've done this sort of thing in the past and am happy to give it a try here as well. Looks fun. I'm still only at act 2, haven't had much play time lately. BUT I can't wait to give this a go!
Let me know how it goes! I have been testing cold as well and should have a cold variant up and running for tomorrows video that is extremely similiar to this (it uses less unique key pieces)
As a new player and playing as a lightning invoker monk these videos helps a lot in terms of seeing someone else’s monk build and how they approach it, does some of the things you say make sense to me? No, but I’m learning and having fun whilst doing so! Great video can’t wait for the next one 🎉
Well whatever doesn’t make sense make sure you ask! Or stop by the stream and discord and ask! Theres plenty of people in the community in the same boat as you and want to help and learn! I’ll be live in like a hour too if you some questions answered
Conductioin, coursing current and electrocute support gem to storm wave to get power charges at long range! you can play range have them shocked and electrocute. oh and use siphoning strike for the boss to gather power chargers in boss fight! you also need chance to shock passsives general elctric and harmonic generetor. Enjoy! can kill bosses for like 2seconds
really prefer gathering thunder, timing it perfectly guarantees shock on everything, then use siphoning strike for instant 7 charges, this lets you spam falling thunder if you want, and def. 100% uptime on charged staff, easily. also playing with shock = comet and it just melts stuff.
Nice to see the update! For that last spirit: Try Cast on Shock with Conductivity or Voltaic Mark (or both!). Maybe it would work with Siphoning Strike for gaining charges? I've been splitting my time between all the classes so I'm still in Act2 lol.
what combination makes it you generate combo points like that in this video? the only way i know of is siphoning strike and palm strike. foundout its your chest
Ive been keeping a close eye to what your running cause I'm running similar stuff. I recommend wave of frost I know it helps me Lock down the field easily with High physical damage. One cast usually freeze instantly. May help you to, GL on mapping!!!
I’ll try it tomorrow! I already have the cold video prepped to go so I can’t do testing before it but if it works out nicely it will be great for update content! Thank you!
You should try cast on shock with the profane siphon + chance to double charge.. Adding energy via rune or monk ascendency mean more power charge faster... For the electrocute I use the rune conductivity on herald of thunder and it works well that mea you can change the gloves for better stats.. Using support that give 40% more time on charge staff give a whole min before it end...
Here some inspiration I found yesterday the cast on shock even without the energy buff is already good but I guess for maps you need to boost this. ruclips.net/video/Q9K3R0l42Z8/видео.htmlsi=9ufOddo79U0LzRje Thx for the guide and keep this lightning monk alive 😎
how do you get your hp so high? i watched the whole video but i dont think i saw any perks on your gear saying increase life at all, you also only have like 30-60 str.
It’s a Dex and int build it doesn’t really need strength. I believe the boots have a bunch of life on them but overall my life total is very low. My current belt before swapping to the unique also has a ton of life
@@lbfluffybunnyy3680 wow then i def am doing something wrong then, im at 560hp and 350mana , 250 es, im lv31. i been focusing on es and evasion on my armor. i mainly go for resistances. where do you get life from?
Is the currency generation "thing" the respawn at checkpoint farming strat in the act 3 effigy zone? I noticed the boss there gives a buff that gives you IIR, I wonder if it persists when you respawn at checkpoint there
Some pretty good info. Have one tip though, I don't know for sure because of video quality, but do you have problems with graphic "graininess" in game? I had this issue but solved it by changing Upscale mode to DLSS. If this is available for you and not enabled yet, it will 10x your graphics when you change this to DLSS. For me at least it also completely removed any lag.
@@Travic_snipers is only 0.5s cast time so has a low energy requirement. I wouldn't bother with the ascendancy node just for it unless you're going to do other meta casting too.
I opted to take the ascendancy node that evasion also gives phys dam reduction and stack evasion/energy shield since the evasion % nodes im taking in the passive tree also give energy shield % and i feel really tanky. Love falling thunder. I'm mixing lightning and ice, with ice strike, falling thunder, charged staff for clear, and tempest is my single target nuke after i freeze them.
I didn't even know this gloves exist, Im in SSF this would be a dream to get those gloves lol. My cooked solution is to electrocute with herald of thunder. Edit: I have a few videos out, my most recent video I demonstrate the electrocute herald of thunder stuff. I added your video to my description this information a couple days ago would have been extremely helpful and save me a ton of gold in SSF.
SSF here too. I've tried various ways to play but nothing feels as good as cold for control. And herald of ice and the cold palm slaps. Herald active, cold palm in spammable.. boom.
Is it worth waiting to end game and du ping gomd to respec or start over with. Ore knowledge of the tree. Im fairly new and idk if i messed up my talents or not. No where near max level. Only 19.
one way to get shock immunity is by getting a corrupted jewel, i havbe a friend who corrupoted his jewel to get corrupted blood immunity so im pretty sure that also works with shock
@@Travic_ I really enjoy the Falling Thunder build combined with the auto power charge generation for Monk. However, the build lacks sufficient energy shield and resistance stats on the armor, gloves, and belt, especially since we’re using unique items. I tried adding resistance gems to the sockets, but it doesn’t seem to be enough, easy to get one shot. I’m considering switching to a cold build direction as well, even though Falling Thunder feels so satisfying. Thank you I learnt a lot about monk from your channel.
You'd have to add shock damage to it as its main hit is pure physical. So you need to get shocks rolling in the first place in order for it to consume them and cast it's shockwave and give you a power charge. I intend to try just that out at some point on a dark monk though as the pure physical main hit should be good for mana leech I think.
@travic Leech is absolute balls, rolled chayula monk and 80% of my nodes are garbage lol. Getting carried by shattering palm ice strike playing like diet flicker strike. Specced breach just for sustain, purple flames are dog water too - dont scale with duration nodes
Btw, i was tempest before swapping and it was ass without tech - three dragons helmet to get freeze on lightning dmg made it a LOT better (use gathering storm to shock) but imo tempest fury’s animation is significantly worse, than ice strike. Youre walking slowly into mobs vs having a 4m flicker strike with one of the best palm strikes in the game to bridge you across packs, running breach on frost monk feels like PoE1 mega juicing. Lightning had me dying 1/3 maps and cold has me dying 1/20 just for reference, and those deaths are when i go absolutely stupid opening a breach on a 3 proj map.
I’ve been buying stash tabs everytime they go on sale for years now. One or two every couple of months. They go on sale every three weeks usually. Wait for a sale it’s pretty big discount
There's a part in the tree that gives a metric shit ton of spell damage while holding a melee weapon, any reason your not opting for that? My current build is somewhat similar but I'm clearing maps with storm wave and herald of thunder due to the sheer damage im putting out, tho I'm only partway into act 3 level 44ish
Yeah when I got to maps there wasn’t a whole lot for trade and I was just like heck with it let’s see if I can do this with self found gear. That’s when I learned lol
I'd say the early game needs some fine tuning in regards to gear drops to make the base gearing feel a bit smoother. By the time I was level 20 I was still rocking mostly gear from level 5-10 and a few items that I crafted with the currency I got, but I feel it was a little bit too stilted in the beginning, like the flow wasn't there. And while I am grateful they seem to have moved away from the old 20+ for every random trashpack they had going before, at this point there are so few drops I barely see a use for loot filters at all, there's a sweet spot somewhere in the middle there.
You have to collect and sell all magic items. Then you should have enough gold to buy base items from vendors, and slam it with transmut orb, hopefuly getting stats that u want and need to progress.
First of all (I did wrote whole below sections first, then I remembered why I started to write this comment lol): you can add innervate or lighting pen/infusion to charged staff. Innervate shows no support for charged staff however you can still link it and from my testing it applies its effect to your main skill as well, so its kind of OP in my opinion. You can always find a use for pen and infusion but adding another 35% extra damage from a support skill is really good. Looks great, I built almost the exact same (chayula version which is not terrible thanks to free aura + chaos dmg + resistance feels nice) without seeing this. For shock immunity, I tried different solutions (extra long duration charms with reduced charge used, stacking reduced shock effect and duration to past 100%) but I couldnt manage to make them work so I went with the shock immunity belt. There is also a unique boots gives small mov speed, crit multi and +1 power charges (forgot the name). Also I am using corrupted +1 helm for total 9 charges. I think this it the limit for now for power charges, I cant seem to find anymore sources. Ultimately, the best solution will be using power charge on crit armor (volls protector). That will open up the belt slot but cost 30% resist and some evasion. But I think belt slot is more important and you can also use the falling thunder (& flicker) with max charges. (However, no evasion on body is quite a red flag for most invokers) The only downside is to find crit sources besides passive tree but luckly there are plenty of them in passive tree near monk area + base crit chance of q.staffs can go 11%. With decent +crit chance mod you can get ~15% base crit for staff (also you can get +1 to base from ranger side of crit cluster). If you take all the crit chance nodes on the right hand side of tree (IIRC ~300% inc crit), I am planning to end up somewhere near 65-70% crit chance (w/ more crit chances from the charge consuption skill), which will be much more than enough for sustaining charges. I am still trying to level up but ultimately I am planning to tandem use of cyclone-like skill (for power generation + bell damage) + flicker strike + CoC. Hopefully CoC + Flicker will solve the squishy character of monk. It doesnt feel that fun if you are dying to white mobs even if you have tons of dmg. Hopefully best defense is offense mindset will come to play later for me. Sorry for the messy comment, I am still got stuck in old terminology and dont know the new ones yet. Keep up the good work.
This tree is almost next to (or very close to) all good +chaos damage nodes. If I ever get to have Original Sin here, I am planning to use on this character as its natural build already paths to very good chaos nodes.
Thank you for the kind word and the write up! This is all good stuff. I didnt even know those unique boots existed. ALSO YOU CORRUPTED A HELM FOR +1 CHARGE IS AMAZING! This is such good information
I dont know bro, it’s way too much more work and effort to setup max damage, litetally have to do the combo perfectly so you can unleash your max. Frost looks easier to combo and the damage kinda seems bigger especially because you can freeze every single thing in the game.. cool video tho
I can understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but even frost requires positioning and setup and button presses and certain gear choices. Just the nature of poe2. Also some things we’ll just resonate with better so I fully get it! Thank you for the kind words. Maybe I should look deeper into frost 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Something you’re doing is not right and it has to be with your nodes your tempest flurry dps is 2300 and your level 71 mines is the exact same and I’m level 42!!!!
@@Travic_ it does. After some testing, it's probably better to just run it on Herald of Thunder because HoT is actually pretty weak anyways. Run it with Neural Overload (Stuns on a lower threshold instead of 100%) on HoT and you will stunlock everything almost 100% of the time.
Ive been very vocal in the descriptions that these are my progressions and you can as a player expand on this. Lightning has proven by a ton of people by itself to be insanely strong. A lot of lightning monks are clearing all the content in the game very easily. I just ended up wanting to explore all the options
The maps do have drops and you use the drops to trade for loot on the trade site. It’s part of the game. The new loot from the patch is insane actually
Its an extremely mechanical class. It rewards you for playing well. There are plenty of people who are playing it and doing very well with it. If you dont like lightning there are various flavors of cold you can try too. Keep in mind this is an early access client with a lot of things being way harder then they should be. If you dont like my interpretation of how things work that suit my style that is resonable. You just need to find what vibes with you.
@@Travic_ well said, I'm going to hit maps tonight. Everyone saying chayula monk is whack but getting darkness with 1st ascendancy basically became immortal and slapped the campaign.

For anyone struggling with power charges, here’s another alternative for pure lightning:
use Combat Frenzy with Profusion Support with the Resonance node.
Put Electrocute Support on Tempest Flurry and Neural Overload Support on Herald of Thunder. This should very reliably electrocute enemies nearly on CD

I’ve been buying stash tabs everytime they go on sale for years now. One or two every couple of months. They go on sale every three weeks usually. Wait for a sale it’s pretty big discount
is the mobalytic update?
It should be I can check when I get back to my computer
Im sure the herald of thunder doesnt states "cant apply shock"
Ya I missed that :( my fault
Yea tried the lightning for awhile realized early freeze hits like a truck
Ya I tested cold today it’s pretty insane
@ like your vids man keep it up
There's a part in the tree that gives a metric shit ton of spell damage while holding a melee weapon, any reason your not opting for that? My current build is somewhat similar but I'm clearing maps with storm wave and herald of thunder due to the sheer damage im putting out, tho I'm only partway into act 3 level 44ish
I don't think he's using any spells?
I don’t believe any of my skills have a spell tag I’ll have to check again
Theres a lifesteal node that adds up to 17-20% lifesteal when you take damage
Ohhh when I get in today I’ll look for that
maps wasnt hard at all for me with invoker monk i just bought few gear pieces for 1 ex each, pretty close to res cap when i started my first tier 1
Yeah when I got to maps there wasn’t a whole lot for trade and I was just like heck with it let’s see if I can do this with self found gear. That’s when I learned lol
how are you trading gear?
Pathofexile2.com there is a trade site.
Can you share your filter sir.
Hey I’m not at my pc but if you goto my twitch and type !poe2filter it should pop up
Got to ask the mobs when you hit them
What is an electrician’s favorite flavor of ice cream? Shock-a-lot
Lololol
Hey Herald of Thunder can't shock btw. Put that 100% shock somewhere else.
Yeah I learned this today :( This was my own fault.
I'd say the early game needs some fine tuning in regards to gear drops to make the base gearing feel a bit smoother.
By the time I was level 20 I was still rocking mostly gear from level 5-10 and a few items that I crafted with the currency I got, but I feel it was a little bit too stilted in the beginning, like the flow wasn't there.
And while I am grateful they seem to have moved away from the old 20+ for every random trashpack they had going before, at this point there are so few drops I barely see a use for loot filters at all, there's a sweet spot somewhere in the middle there.
Bro im half way through cruel act 3 rocking my staff from normal act 2. Cant find anything
My best stuff i craft... like the devs said they wanted us to do.
You have to collect and sell all magic items. Then you should have enough gold to buy base items from vendors, and slam it with transmut orb, hopefuly getting stats that u want and need to progress.
First of all (I did wrote whole below sections first, then I remembered why I started to write this comment lol): you can add innervate or lighting pen/infusion to charged staff. Innervate shows no support for charged staff however you can still link it and from my testing it applies its effect to your main skill as well, so its kind of OP in my opinion. You can always find a use for pen and infusion but adding another 35% extra damage from a support skill is really good.
Looks great, I built almost the exact same (chayula version which is not terrible thanks to free aura + chaos dmg + resistance feels nice) without seeing this. For shock immunity, I tried different solutions (extra long duration charms with reduced charge used, stacking reduced shock effect and duration to past 100%) but I couldnt manage to make them work so I went with the shock immunity belt.
There is also a unique boots gives small mov speed, crit multi and +1 power charges (forgot the name). Also I am using corrupted +1 helm for total 9 charges. I think this it the limit for now for power charges, I cant seem to find anymore sources.
Ultimately, the best solution will be using power charge on crit armor (volls protector). That will open up the belt slot but cost 30% resist and some evasion. But I think belt slot is more important and you can also use the falling thunder (& flicker) with max charges. (However, no evasion on body is quite a red flag for most invokers)
The only downside is to find crit sources besides passive tree but luckly there are plenty of them in passive tree near monk area + base crit chance of q.staffs can go 11%. With decent +crit chance mod you can get ~15% base crit for staff (also you can get +1 to base from ranger side of crit cluster). If you take all the crit chance nodes on the right hand side of tree (IIRC ~300% inc crit), I am planning to end up somewhere near 65-70% crit chance (w/ more crit chances from the charge consuption skill), which will be much more than enough for sustaining charges.
I am still trying to level up but ultimately I am planning to tandem use of cyclone-like skill (for power generation + bell damage) + flicker strike + CoC. Hopefully CoC + Flicker will solve the squishy character of monk. It doesnt feel that fun if you are dying to white mobs even if you have tons of dmg. Hopefully best defense is offense mindset will come to play later for me. Sorry for the messy comment, I am still got stuck in old terminology and dont know the new ones yet.
Keep up the good work.
This tree is almost next to (or very close to) all good +chaos damage nodes. If I ever get to have Original Sin here, I am planning to use on this character as its natural build already paths to very good chaos nodes.
Thank you for the kind word and the write up! This is all good stuff. I didnt even know those unique boots existed. ALSO YOU CORRUPTED A HELM FOR +1 CHARGE IS AMAZING! This is such good information
Good video
Thank you sir
Love your videos but I think this vid increased the price on Kitoko gloves 10-25X... haha
I dont know bro, it’s way too much more work and effort to setup max damage, litetally have to do the combo perfectly so you can unleash your max. Frost looks easier to combo and the damage kinda seems bigger especially because you can freeze every single thing in the game.. cool video tho
I can understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but even frost requires positioning and setup and button presses and certain gear choices. Just the nature of poe2. Also some things we’ll just resonate with better so I fully get it! Thank you for the kind words. Maybe I should look deeper into frost 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@ cheers man, your content is awesome, these were just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work !
Something you’re doing is not right and it has to be with your nodes your tempest flurry dps is 2300 and your level 71 mines is the exact same and I’m level 42!!!!
Its all about the weapon mine is literally dogwater. Whats yours look like?
the belt is now selling for 8 ex daaaaaammmmnnnnn
Wild!
Tempest bell is hella NUTs
INSANE
Just run Electrocute support gem on Charged Staff.
Does it give you the 40% reduced damage though on the flat damage added?
@@Travic_ it does. After some testing, it's probably better to just run it on Herald of Thunder because HoT is actually pretty weak anyways. Run it with Neural Overload (Stuns on a lower threshold instead of 100%) on HoT and you will stunlock everything almost 100% of the time.
Welp, one update and this build just died. Go ice instead.
Ive been very vocal in the descriptions that these are my progressions and you can as a player expand on this. Lightning has proven by a ton of people by itself to be insanely strong. A lot of lightning monks are clearing all the content in the game very easily. I just ended up wanting to explore all the options
hell yeah
Hellll yeah
i had no idea this game has trading..
Yeah its huge!
The maps have drops..... Go and purchases gear of a website 😅
The maps do have drops and you use the drops to trade for loot on the trade site. It’s part of the game. The new loot from the patch is insane actually
Sadly, you don’t get to your build quick enough, stop yapping and get to the meat of your video
Oooh quick quick my life is so precious I can’t just and listen for a few seconds 😢
Only understand more yapping
Literally the attention span of a fish.
Facts
Real. Also this build is lame.
Lightning monk sucks. I regret following your advice.
Its an extremely mechanical class. It rewards you for playing well. There are plenty of people who are playing it and doing very well with it. If you dont like lightning there are various flavors of cold you can try too. Keep in mind this is an early access client with a lot of things being way harder then they should be. If you dont like my interpretation of how things work that suit my style that is resonable. You just need to find what vibes with you.
@@Travic_ well said, I'm going to hit maps tonight. Everyone saying chayula monk is whack but getting darkness with 1st ascendancy basically became immortal and slapped the campaign.
@@Travic_ I would agree if ggg weren't already over nerfing things and interactions, while there's whole classes that don't even work still.
Its ripping for me in endgame no problem
