Unfortunately, I went straight to the planner and made a bunch of changes matching the planner. Then I come back here and finish watching the video. Your passives in the video look very little like all the changes I just made in the planner. 😞
spent 300k gold, around 50 exalts to switch from mathil's "lightsaber" build which focused on storm wave and tempest flurry along with charged staff to this build. WOW OMG. It feels like a new character. I never had trouble with DPS on the previous build but I would keep getting 1 shot all the time. This build is amazing, thanks for such a detailed guide and explanation.
As a general tip when piecing together a budget build, Tainted Strike is a quite cheap anoint to boost crit chance and ailment magnitude. Meaning your shocks provide more vulnerability on target, and the herald combo will chain more consistent etc.
@@TG-28-x9l Put the three distilled emotions and the amulet in your inventory, then right click any of the emotions to open the distillation menu. It's kinda janky, but it works. It will show a preview of the notable if the combination is right. You can anoint the same amulet as many times as you like. There's at least one online resource for handy indexing of the notables and oils, so you can review your options.
Dude, thanks to you I bought a weapon with 2 div and worth the damage of 20 div. Got 72% critical damage (36% x2) on it and the total DPS is like those 800-900 ones. And I’ve never cleaned maps this fast, two shot rare mobs all the time. Thank you for sharing this!!!
@@adammorra3813 keep an eye out and get lucky. i was gonna buy a 10 div weapon with less crt dmg but the seller never responded. and then i found this weapon sell for only 2 div and double the crt dmg lol
@@SoMoN69 it's just an expert crescent quarterstaff. the corruption gives it a second extra 36% to critical damage bonus. it's very rare. but like this video points out, critical damage bonus don't get calculated into DPS, so a lot of sellers underprice them. i have now 51% crt rate and 710% crt damage and 94k DPS on ice strike. its output is like those 800 dps quarterstaves without the crt dmg bonus. those 800 dps quarterstaves cost at least 20 div+, and this quarterstaff had 400 dps and only cost 2 div.
Love finding these videos - made a PoE2 playlist saved this one there. I'm 100% new to the PoE franchise and already put in 85hrs. I am certain I'll be 500+ hrs in no time & still find things that I get excited and surprised over. Also the community has been welcoming (albeit the usual sarcasm, which makes life better), and learning hasn't been a MIT entrance exam.
You’re about to be disappointed in about 300 hours or so when you realize you can’t get any of this stuff this guy has unless you quit your job, dump your ol lady and get rid of your kids. This game isn’t made for people who work for a living.
Idk man. I work 55 hours a week and am married. I don’t have kids and granted the holidays gave me 3 extra days off but I’ve already cleared t18s, got all my atlas points, and am level 90. I haven’t fought the pinnacle boss yet..or any breech bosses but I have all my boss books found. Got all my ascendancy points, found 2 perfect jewelers so both my main abilities are full linked without having to pay for them/corrupt them. Bought all my gear(not perfect but pretty damn good) and still have 500exalts in my tab. I think I’m doing alright. Not to mention I have a level 76 alt clearing t9-10s and a level 28 I’m starting to work on now.
@@1div2agent74 Not bothered by anyone else's metric of "Time=Success" especially in gaming. Certainly FOMO exists! But when you focus on self then JOMO takes the cake for the long haul.
I tried all the builds. This is the best one. Chaos inoculation is the truth for mapping. If youre fighting a boss that doesnt do chaos dmg like asc4 trialmaster, simply turn it off for a little extra es. Crit dmg and atk speed are the best dmg buckets to go into. Make sure you have some mana sustain like mana on kill on your gloves and mana leech. Swap the infusions on your herald skills and no need for the unique ring... So yeah, ignore the other videos, this is the one.
this works pretty well. i struggled hard with surviving in breaches but this respec worked wonders. thanks alot this make total sense on so many different levels.
@MrRonit give Crescendo a shot on Ice Strike. Been playing this build with Primal Armament swapped out for Crescendo and the extra Final Strike is puttin in work. Not sure which is better at the end of the day but given Ice Strike is only 3 hits, that extra Final Strike is noticeable.
Thank you for making this. lv 82 monk and i tried following a build that transitions to just the energy shield and something along the way just was not hitting. Now following your endgame path it feels way better!
Thank you so much man and also for your step by step skill tree thing. I'm casual asf and i just can't survive in poe 2, everything pops me as soon as they see me. I'm sure this will help, may the sleep be with me.
I can’t thank you enough mate! I can’t seem to make any other build work besides yours! I’m doing 61k dps in base and in maps I’m doing 130k+ dps! I’m clearing t14 and t15 maps finally!
wow my attack speed went from .9 to .24 and my DPS for ice strike went from 4.8k- 8.6k whilst giving me double the ES for end game content. This REALLLLY helped! Got my sub no questions asked.
This build is incredible. As someone who has had no luck getting the Polci ring in trade or drops my build was lacking the massive clear capability. Swapping the lightning and cold skills on the two heralds and focusing on crit was a major game changer! thanks for sharing!
@ every time I whisper someone it sells seconds later. Literally refreshing the page and whispering everyone who posts one for sale. It’s been very elusive. Doesn’t matter though, this build shreds without it.
Best Part of this Build ist, that u can start playing it, as soon as u get enough spirit (60) to get thunder and ice passive. Obviously in a way weaker version, but for example i play it since beginning and building it up. Now im lvl 60 and clearing maps (Campaign) like nothing already. Soon i can use the combat freenzy + the skilltree thing and woop woop. I hope it doesnt get nerfed till i reach endgame xD
Brother, I'm doing a monk and I'm in doubt about what to do, maybe you can give me a tip... In your opinion what's best, frenzy combat, charge staff+ resonance? Or that thing that you can put those lighting balls on? Elemental invocation I believe it's called... Idk if I can make both work 😅
What i did is 30 Spirit -> Herald of Thunder 60 Spirit -> Herald of Ice 90 Spirit -> Combat frenzy + Resonance I used a Spirit Amulet for this build. But you get 100 Spirit from campaign too and you should get that asap, you should be able to do it right now, since you are 60, the last one you get in the last act (6). You need alot of Mana too. Since i can you Combat Frenzy + Resonance the build feels why more chill and smooth.
I was doing prob around 5k around lvl 50, act 1 cruel, but after making adjustments based on your build I jumped up to 25k per ice strike and blasted towards the end of act 3. Much appreciated
something to keep in mind with Chaos Inoculation - you get both bonus be it positive or negative on node that read "at low life" and "at max life" being at on 1 hit point the game considers you both. So nodes like "Killer Instinct" give you both 30% AND 50% attack damage .
This build is a day & night change for any Monk. It's insanely good. I don't have 40% of what you have and I'm already soloing tier 5 and 6 at Lv72-73. With my original build i wasn't able to complete a T1 alone at level 66. This build SHREDS. Love it. Thanks man. It's getting complicated to get the proper gear with the right stats tho XD but eventually will get there.
I was going to quit and ran across this build........I kept up with it and traded to get simular gear and best build better hands down! Thanks for the time you put in!
Another good option for a passive on your amulet is coming calamity which is plus 30 area of effect to herald skills and like plus 30 or 50 damage I forget
if you have the resources i would highly recommend anointing "overwhelming strike" (despair, envy, disgust). it is so much more valuable than elemental damage at this point. keep up the good work! thx.
13:40 your mobalytics passive tree is wildly different than the one you are showing in this video, You don't even spec into patient barrier or any shield nodes. It is just a generic Crit/damage spec you see on every other Ice Strike build, what am i missing.
Ive been playing merc and have great damage but there is just very little in terms of survivablity. After like 10 respecs and making it to level 87 I think I will try this route. I want to play a witch but infernalist and bloodmage both are not my playstyle and this looks epic. Thanks for such a great and well explained video
I ended up doing this build but taking it a bit further, now i have like 12k ES with Grim feast and clear any content without a worry, this works as a base perfectly and when you get more divs to spend, better gear (wep with high dps +crit mods/less pieces with res but higher res on the ones that have/higher evasion and es) + using Howa goes hard
Thanks for this buddy, switched to this build and survivability has went through the roof, only seem to die to random on death effects, or burning ground when i cant recharge my ES (staying away from that map mod now). Went from 2k life 2k Es , to 6k ES (12k with grim feast obviously)
Damn I definitely need to do something about my gear... I have only 2.2k shield 😅 How much energy shield you have on body armor? I have like 800 evasion and 300 ES.
@@TheNinjasDenpassive skill in the top right of the tree called chaos inoculation. Sets your life to 1 but makes you immune to poison bleed and chaps dmg.
HELP. Don't know why this doesn't work for my 92 monk. Have been using double Heralds (different gem settings) w/ Polcirkeln which worked well cleared the whole map. Wanted to drop Polcirkeln, followed the planner exactly, but two Heralds with new gem usage doesn't look like complimentary each other. Anyone have same problem? (Quarterstaff DPS:670, Ice strike DPS: 44k by default /crit rate 42% / crit bonus 310%)
It works for me, i don't think it will constantly explode like the polcirkin did though. Make sure all your skills are quality 20 as i notice more/bigger explosions after to got everything to 20.
Love it. I only have four links but i put in the same supports in both heralds, combat frenzy to gain shit tons of charges and just spam ice strike with charged staff. My new favorit. Thanks for for the video
So ive only got the 4 slot ice strike atm. Im finding that swapping out icebite for rage appears to be much more powerful. I am utilising 1 or 2 generate rage jewels as well and although the DPS indicator on the ice strike gem is a tad lower i generate rage so quickly that my dps is amazing all the time. The 1 rage jewel only generates on hit so your getting max 10 rage in mapping. Only duplicating to a higher value on bosses. Where as running rage plus jewels you will be upwards of 40 at any one time.
@@explosive-onyxia1684 u can convert health to energy shield, then energy shield to mana, and then use a unique amulet to create an energy shield that is 20% of your mana pool.
I hope they don’t nerf this build. I’ve played a sorc to 90 and a merc to 76. Rolled a monk a couple days ago to try it out and it is sooooo much fun so far. I’m only level 28 so I’d hate for it to get nerfed into the ground before I get my full enjoyment out of it.
I was in the same position as you and was worried about the nerf but the solution they announced to wait with nerf until economy reset/big patch was an an amazing decision!
Might of missed it but besides the rage gem, look at putting a time lost in the socket near resonance, since you've got so much invested in the area, would give a good boost too.
Hi go into your game options and look for a setting called show all sockets and enable it. That’ll make it to where you can see sockets with out hovering over it
What is the most important stat for the quarterstaff, is it overall phys damage or crit chance, crit bonus, etc? Hard to tell which is more important for overall DPS calculation
i swear im doing the same things similar stats on my staff and using all the same support gems except ice bite and i only get 45k damage all up. no idea what ive done different to have no where near the damage its very confusing.
Ive been slowly converting to this build. And I think the most important thing is attack speed,then DPS of the weapon. And then it’s the jewels,and gears come after that. And then the problem of keeping up with mana is just impossible without having 20+ divines in your stash. Currently at lvl 91,had to buy a staff for 6 divines,jewels for 50 exalts each and could only afford 1 jewel at the moment. A single jewel with +10% cold dmg gives nearly 7-8k dps dmg. The ones in OP’s tree are all worth minimum of 1 divine+ some are currently at 10 divines. Even with all that,my ice strike is only at 53k base dmg. So without a very good amount of currency,it is mostly unachievable for the average monk sadly
Finding gear with stun threshold will help too. I have it on my belt/boots plus using a stun charm and that seems to be plenty. I dont get stunned much if ever.
1:28 You don't get power charge from freeze and shock, you only get power charge from freeze and electrocute. If you don't convert shock to electrocute in any way, you only get power charge from freeze.
Does this build also works with tempest flurry? And which one is better or feels beter? Ice strike or tempest flurry. What are the big diffrence between these two?
i dont get how you get 120k dps on ice strike my gear is very very very similar and im only at 60k if someone could let me know what could be wrong would be nice. Thanks
Just to note, you don't need to focus on the added dps on support gems. You can play around with them as most provide more utility aside from dps. The tree also provide different ways to multiply damage when certain conditions are met. Have fun and experiment. These buid guides alienate you from having fun and experimenting just read what each support gems provide and see how it could increase your survivability or add additional features to a skill.
do you recommend any item filters, i currently discovered there is a way to put focus on important items for specific builds, did you make one for this type of build? thank you, amazing guide and really easy step by step follow-up
How do I increase my DPS so much? My base Icestrike is 48k. Does attack speed make that much of a difference? My weapon is very similar to yours, the only difference is the attack speed that it doesn't have.
Thank you for the share. I'm enjoying much with this build. Can you also share your jewels please ? Because my ice strike lacks a lot of dps when I compare with yours.
There’s a ring that helps do that called the polkrien sapphire ring or something like that I use it and you hit one enemy and the entire screen shatters
@@maoxreloaded normal rings can go up to 20% quality only, the breach ring can go up to 50% so, unless you need a specific implicit, one of the best options is a breach ring. for example: Lets say you have a ring with 150 mana, if you use mana modfier catalyst, you will end up with 180 mana (20%) but 150 mana on a breach ring (50%) you will end up with 225 mana.
Is there an easy way to refund all your passive points or do you have to do them one at a time at Doryani or the Hooded One? I've got this build going and I really like it, but I'm noticing that Herald of Thunder doesn't hit as often for me as it does for you or it doesn't seem to hit enemies on the other side of the screen. It just seems to be less consistent than you show in your videos? Is there a passive skill or stat that affects that? Otherwise, I'm really loving this build and I actually feel powerful.
There is the gem crescendo that does the final strike of the combo again(and the speed of it is faster). I’m not sure if it’s enough to replace one of those others gems though.
@@PABLOSGHOST Its about the ascdendency. Lead me through grace : Gives u 1 spirit from 6 Energy Shield and 1 Spirit for each 15 Evasion rating. I would recommend a 900 evasion and 300 energy body armour to get all spirit u need for the Auras
What would you recommend to remove if you don't have enough spirit for all the buffs? Sill searching for a stronger body armor. Assuming grim feat is a must after chaos inoculation I removed wind dancer but cant socket blind or cull obviously. Not sure if that's a bad move.
on selffound it works pretty well , but 3. thinks if you fresh and maybe not have an eye on it bothers me ...1. freeze buildup is drop on a view points and you feel it ...2. the comb of herals can proc sure , but not consistent....3. what about getting stunlocked to death , if i die , its most of the time a breach or ritual where a high amount of mobs spawn , which i cant instant kill , if one touches me , iam dead ,cause me getting stunned into pieces
i just cant kill thet4 boss, i can do t3's no problem but cant get the t4. my base ice strike is 142k dmg, 66%evasion, 6000E.S, fire/light res 70% cold is at 30%, any tips?
Which ones do you need to annoint stormcharged? And can you replace an already announted amulet? Also thank you very much for posting this builds. I've used your builds since I was lvl 14 😊
Question, I am following your build, but I have an issue when I allocate a point to Chaos Inoculate, I can’t use ice strike, Tempest bell or charged staff, it says “ not enough life” how do I fix this issue?
Weird follow your skill and support gems but I can’t seem to generate any power charges. I went with heralds of ice and thunder and support gems, skill tree has resonance with combat frenzy, What else could it be?
I have almost the exact same passives (im missing the 60% increased ES) and a very similar weapon (10 damage differnece) and my Ice Strike dps is 68k while yours is 121k. How is that possible? Does missing Heft make such big difference? The thing is i noticed you also have double dps on Tempest bell as well.

@@stonic5 Thanks mate! ❤️
@@stonic5they patched this about 24 hours ago lol
HELP. Don't know why this doesn't work for my 92 monk. Have been using double Heralds (different gem settings) w/ Polcirkeln which worked well cleared the whole map. Wanted to drop Polcirkeln, followed the planner exactly, but two Heralds with new gem usage doesn't look like complimentary each other. Anyone have same problem?
(Quarterstaff DPS:670, Ice strike DPS: 44k by default /crit rate 42% / crit bonus 310%)
It works for me, i don't think it will constantly explode like the polcirkin did though. Make sure all your skills are quality 20 as i notice more/bigger explosions after to got everything to 20.
Go to moblyitics community builds and follow the god tier ice monk build it's so good
Love it. I only have four links but i put in the same supports in both heralds, combat frenzy to gain shit tons of charges and just spam ice strike with charged staff. My new favorit. Thanks for for the video
So ive only got the 4 slot ice strike atm. Im finding that swapping out icebite for rage appears to be much more powerful. I am utilising 1 or 2 generate rage jewels as well and although the DPS indicator on the ice strike gem is a tad lower i generate rage so quickly that my dps is amazing all the time. The 1 rage jewel only generates on hit so your getting max 10 rage in mapping. Only duplicating to a higher value on bosses. Where as running rage plus jewels you will be upwards of 40 at any one time.
09:15 we have cannibalism on grim feast for more health regenereation. our health is 1. its useless right ?
thank you for this video btw, thumbs up!
Oh yea you’re right! Woops my bad!
maybe you will find a way to convert it to energieshield :)
@@explosive-onyxia1684 u can convert health to energy shield, then energy shield to mana, and then use a unique amulet to create an energy shield that is 20% of your mana pool.
Seems no1 asked, but what 2 venoms do you take?
Does high alert work when youve used chaos inoculation and you are 1hp all the time?
How do you have enough dex and int for grim feast and wind dancer? Im lvl 90 with same passive skills AND +30 DEX ring and +32 INT ring.
I hope they don’t nerf this build. I’ve played a sorc to 90 and a merc to 76. Rolled a monk a couple days ago to try it out and it is sooooo much fun so far. I’m only level 28 so I’d hate for it to get nerfed into the ground before I get my full enjoyment out of it.
I was in the same position as you and was worried about the nerf but the solution they announced to wait with nerf until economy reset/big patch was an an amazing decision!
Might of missed it but besides the rage gem, look at putting a time lost in the socket near resonance, since you've got so much invested in the area, would give a good boost too.
Enjoying the build!
i am struggling doing damage on pinnacle bosses with this build, any help?
Hi go into your game options and look for a setting called show all sockets and enable it. That’ll make it to where you can see sockets with out hovering over it
That build rules my dude, thank you so much
What is the most important stat for the quarterstaff, is it overall phys damage or crit chance, crit bonus, etc? Hard to tell which is more important for overall DPS calculation
i swear im doing the same things similar stats on my staff and using all the same support gems except ice bite and i only get 45k damage all up. no idea what ive done different to have no where near the damage its very confusing.
Same,at most my ice strike is only 35k
Same
did u solve it
@@furkaneken7585 the only thing that I can think is the elemental damage on attacks must go directly to ice strike dps stat as well as attack speed
Ive been slowly converting to this build. And I think the most important thing is attack speed,then DPS of the weapon. And then it’s the jewels,and gears come after that. And then the problem of keeping up with mana is just impossible without having 20+ divines in your stash.
Currently at lvl 91,had to buy a staff for 6 divines,jewels for 50 exalts each and could only afford 1 jewel at the moment. A single jewel with +10% cold dmg gives nearly 7-8k dps dmg. The ones in OP’s tree are all worth minimum of 1 divine+ some are currently at 10 divines.
Even with all that,my ice strike is only at 53k base dmg.
So without a very good amount of currency,it is mostly unachievable for the average monk sadly
how do you deal with not getting stunned? Whenever I use CI I feel like every hit stuns me
Use a charm slot for it.
Finding gear with stun threshold will help too. I have it on my belt/boots plus using a stun charm and that seems to be plenty. I dont get stunned much if ever.
1:28 You don't get power charge from freeze and shock, you only get power charge from freeze and electrocute. If you don't convert shock to electrocute in any way, you only get power charge from freeze.
Does this build also works with tempest flurry? And which one is better or feels beter? Ice strike or tempest flurry. What are the big diffrence between these two?
Awesome vis ! I will be speccing into this with my crappy lvl 46 icestrike monk...
Hello,have u tryed Doomsayer enchant,its really fantastic aswell
idk why this seems contradicting u show u grab the chaos but the at the end u dont have that anymore and u went do to the attack speed per dex?
you can nearly run this passive tree with critwave and be just as effective. very nice.
Which den of snakes reward should we take? Ailments or regen?
i dont get how you get 120k dps on ice strike my gear is very very very similar and im only at 60k if someone could let me know what could be wrong would be nice. Thanks
jewels
I habe the setup for shattering screens but it isnt working. All gems are in the right spot. Could it be that i have to little cold dmg?
dont you think mediate would be nice to have if you want to fight pinnacle bosses?
On your crit nodes in the middle (V V), you need to swap the bottom 2nd triangle to the top (read it, and you'll know why)
Do you use any of the super expensive uniques for this build?
Just to note, you don't need to focus on the added dps on support gems. You can play around with them as most provide more utility aside from dps. The tree also provide different ways to multiply damage when certain conditions are met. Have fun and experiment. These buid guides alienate you from having fun and experimenting just read what each support gems provide and see how it could increase your survivability or add additional features to a skill.
Do you think it makes sense to switch from I am the thunder to unbound avatar for pinnacle bossing?
do you recommend any item filters, i currently discovered there is a way to put focus on important items for specific builds, did you make one for this type of build? thank you, amazing guide and really easy step by step follow-up
Hello,hand of wisdom can we use it in this build
Any suggestions on the build for bossing to spike DPS slightly?
can someone tell me why you wouldn't put the rage support gem in the wind dancer skill socket? it says gale force can trigger it. thx
U want to put rage in the damage setup to trigger it almost everytime. If u put it in wind dancer u only get it when getting physically attacked.
How do I increase my DPS so much? My base Icestrike is 48k. Does attack speed make that much of a difference? My weapon is very similar to yours, the only difference is the attack speed that it doesn't have.
Same here
did u solve this
same here!!!
yes attack speed,crit chance all improve the damage
Thank you for the share. I'm enjoying much with this build. Can you also share your jewels please ? Because my ice strike lacks a lot of dps when I compare with yours.
is the planner link broken or is it just me? clicking it and it opens a new tab but never loads the page
Why are you using cannibalism with ci/energy shield tech ? We have 1 life and no regeneration either ??
I think canib recover shild because potion Life restaur shild.
If your gear is okay, what level do you think is possible to change to CI build?
To me not b4 the 85.
What support do u use for pinnacle bosses on ice Strike / tempest bell? I'm having a little hard time doing some🙄
Honest question: Why Cannibalism on Grim Feast, if you're going down to 1HP? Does the healing apply to ES instead?
What you think about hands of wisdom and Ingenuity belt ? with some decent rings with stats + res
I got 1 Problem with the Herold of ice Perk, so of i freeze enemys with the ice Strike They don‘t explode when i shatter them
You need more crit
Maaaaaate this helped me out massively
Thank you good sir @@average_wil1958
There’s a ring that helps do that called the polkrien sapphire ring or something like that I use it and you hit one enemy and the entire screen shatters
Why cannibalism for life regen when 1 hp?
Could you explain why you use a breach ring? I understand that it is a quality issue, but I don't fully understand how that ring works.
usually an uncorrupted ring can go up to 20% quality, breach rings can go up to 50%
@@VictorRodrigues-o4mok i see; but what is the reason that you use that breach ring? What benefit you have in your build?
@@maoxreloaded normal rings can go up to 20% quality only, the breach ring can go up to 50% so, unless you need a specific implicit, one of the best options is a breach ring.
for example: Lets say you have a ring with 150 mana, if you use mana modfier catalyst, you will end up with 180 mana (20%) but 150 mana on a breach ring (50%) you will end up with 225 mana.
@ excellent! Very clear !
I copied the build but i still can select grim feast it’s still going off spirit for me…. Or are they all automatically active?
Woohoo this is what we've been waiting for! I have ingenuity belt so freeing up the extra ring will be class
Is there an easy way to refund all your passive points or do you have to do them one at a time at Doryani or the Hooded One? I've got this build going and I really like it, but I'm noticing that Herald of Thunder doesn't hit as often for me as it does for you or it doesn't seem to hit enemies on the other side of the screen. It just seems to be less consistent than you show in your videos? Is there a passive skill or stat that affects that? Otherwise, I'm really loving this build and I actually feel powerful.
is eplacing cast on shock with ice/thunder herald doing better dps for boss?
There is the gem crescendo that does the final strike of the combo again(and the speed of it is faster). I’m not sure if it’s enough to replace one of those others gems though.
and what stones did you put in the tree?
Any news on this build?
Does all the spirit come just from the chest piece ? I’ve 700 evasion and only 101 spirit 😢
U missing the hybrid base for the Body part. Cause Energy does give u more spirit than evasion
@ what does that mean please ? I need more energy shield on the piece also ?
@@PABLOSGHOST Its about the ascdendency. Lead me through grace : Gives u 1 spirit from 6 Energy Shield and 1 Spirit for each 15 Evasion rating. I would recommend a 900 evasion and 300 energy body armour to get all spirit u need for the Auras
@ what level might they start dropping at ? I’m 76 and not found anything close to? Just luck? Or trade ?
@@PABLOSGHOST U should trade it. Rn there are a lot on market. Just xpensive with good res.
What would you recommend to remove if you don't have enough spirit for all the buffs? Sill searching for a stronger body armor. Assuming grim feat is a must after chaos inoculation I removed wind dancer but cant socket blind or cull obviously. Not sure if that's a bad move.
on selffound it works pretty well , but 3. thinks if you fresh and maybe not have an eye on it bothers me ...1. freeze buildup is drop on a view points and you feel it ...2. the comb of herals can proc sure , but not consistent....3. what about getting stunlocked to death , if i die , its most of the time a breach or ritual where a high amount of mobs spawn , which i cant instant kill , if one touches me , iam dead ,cause me getting stunned into pieces
On your passive skill tree screen on top right corner you have 24 weapon points mentioned. I have only 22 on my monk. How do I miss 2 of it?
Gotta ask... but how are these "weapon points" calculated? Is this based on the node selected?
i just cant kill thet4 boss, i can do t3's no problem but cant get the t4. my base ice strike is 142k dmg, 66%evasion, 6000E.S, fire/light res 70% cold is at 30%, any tips?
Is there a flickerstep variant for this build
Which ones do you need to annoint stormcharged? And can you replace an already announted amulet? Also thank you very much for posting this builds. I've used your builds since I was lvl 14 😊
Oh I just realized that you said it in the video and I dudn't pay attention 😁
Will the new hotfix affect survival with the patch to Chaos innaculation?
Can you tell me why my life is not 1/1 after i take chaos inoculation?
It show 1/3000 something
hey buddy im doing the same build but im having many problems to keep the mana up especialy in bossing
Do you think this build could be viable on a stormweaver with shaper of storms ascendancy node? (It will require at least 180 spirit)
Hi, is it possible to run more than 1 Bell on this build? i heard about monk can run with 2or 3 bells but i could not belive it....
How you generate energy stacks? I can’t get it
Question, I am following your build, but I have an issue when I allocate a point to Chaos Inoculate, I can’t use ice strike, Tempest bell or charged staff, it says “ not enough life” how do I fix this issue?
Weird follow your skill and support gems but I can’t seem to generate any power charges. I went with heralds of ice and thunder and support gems, skill tree has resonance with combat frenzy, What else could it be?
I have almost the exact same passives (im missing the 60% increased ES) and a very similar weapon (10 damage differnece) and my Ice Strike dps is 68k while yours is 121k. How is that possible? Does missing Heft make such big difference? The thing is i noticed you also have double dps on Tempest bell as well.
Speed

U need his passive jewels slots which is also very exp
