Just the tip Invoker Monk Path of exile 2

What is up guys?
Today i wanted to bring you guys up to date on what I've been playing, What gear i have and don't have, and just basically how i set up my Invoker. This isn't necessarily a build guide, but if you want to try out the setup i have by all means i'll walk you through all the gear and skills that I'm currently running. As for the name Just the tip. you will notice watching the footage, if you hit most enemies with just the tip of the charged staff the whole screens explodes, making this build a number of things. 1 its very easy to map with given the range you can kill most monsters. 2 it's very quick to map with, although i recently sacrificed shattering palm. If you haven't used the palm skills, they are very nice for moving around the map. There are however 3 draw backs to shattering palm and it's relatives. It takes targeting an enemy to actually use the skills. It essentially teleports you right into the mobs which can be risky. and lastly it takes a skill slot which are quite a commodity as you'll see when we look at skills. In short this build runs a lot of auras which take up several of the available skill slots. I have considered and am trying to find a descent unset ring to replace one of my current rings. If you don't know the unset ring grants 1 additional skill slot. This might be fun to play around with. Ok before i jump into gear i just want to premise this by saying that this is essentially a culmination of knowledge from several known builds. What I've done is taken ideas from several builds and forced them together. It's by no means the cheapest, easiest, or most powerful setup out there. If anything i think it falls into the ease of use category. I would like to give credit to Raxx because that was my starting point for the kit. From there i used ideas prevalent in the community i'm not sure who to credit for. With that out of the way. Here is my gear as it sits now.
I'm still trying to find upgrades for every slot, but who isn't right? I don't have anything fancy or surprising in the kit, Quarterstaff is decent i would like to get a staff with more crit chance and critical strike damage bonus as well as better rolls overall.
A lot of the gear i have is still focused on survival. I have added some magic find or rarity as they call it.
I'm sitting right about 90 percent currently. If i carry this build on further, i'm going to go to the dark side, grab chaos inoculation, and drop all this chaos resist stacking bullshit. This will make getting upgrades much easier. Also i'm running the hand of wisdom and action because it's so fucking good you can't believe it. I actually dropped my pair while running the breach boss which was pretty cool. I was even pricing them at the time trying to get a decent pair for cheap. I still need to upgrade to a corrupted set but they are quite a good dps boost even without really stat stacking. This is another thing i haven't mentioned. Although i have some dex and int stacked, it has not been a focus of mine. I imagine attack speed from the passive tree and the gloves is probably insane at some point. That is another avenue of the build i would like to pursue.
Gear wise, my next upgrade would likely be really strong breach rings and add Ingenuity belt to bolster the rings.
For skills i don't think i've deviated from Raxx's final ice invoker build. I do however want to add the last socket to tempest bell and add font of rage.
This will help burst down bosses a lot faster. I'm not doing any skill swaps for bossing. Even the pinnacle bosses don't really pose any serious threat. It does take more than one bell, but I'm okay with that for this build. I kept this build as close to one button as possible for farming maps and general simplicity. I am at a point i want to switch things up and try new things but it feels stable, and I'm confident with it's survivability and strength. Through the use of grim feast, energy shield is boosted greatly and is invaluable skill for staying alive. This is the skill i recently added when i sacked shattering palm. One last thing i want to add about skills is the synergy between the heralds is very important. Without this set up and doing enough threshold damage to proc it, you would need to run the unique ring that allows you to shatter chilled enemies. Something to keep in mind.
Anyways, Invoker monk, or as i like to call it Spirit born, is a very strong ascendancy that might find it's way to the chopping block for nerfs if it doesn't watch out.
Have fun and stay safe my friends.
