i respeced my ~24ish monk to this after I started having trouble and so far it's going great. Question, maybe I missed it, but why do you go I am the Thunder with the ascendency points instead of I am the blizzard? Oh, I think I see. Is it because to give it more of a chance to proc shock ailment, so unbound avatar is up more as our main damage is ice and we'll prob be applying that by default?
Yeah you will want a bit of shock chance and as much lightning damage as you can manage which the ascendancy helps a ton with to make sure you shock frequently
Big fan of the build and early maps is a breeze. I'm trying to upgrade my staff right now. What should we prioritize? phys dps or + level melee gems? was using pob in poe 1 before to see which scale better but we unfortunate;y doesn't have the same option currently to compare damage
Energy shield. Late game ( level 80+) you need more defense to survive so it might be necessary to respec the character at that point to go energy shield and evasion hybrid gear instead of evasion and armour
Getting charges is a hustle imo There are at least two ways for passive charges gen - one is Resonance+Frenzy spirit gem (passively generates Frenzy and converts it into power charges) and the other is a unique chest that also passively generates charges
The frenzy one would work well with this build since freeze is a core component. Going active is not that bad (siphon and/or palm) with the support skill that gives 50% chance of extra charge, and 35% chance not to use a charge. Even at the base 3 max charges it's an extra (at max level) 3-66 flat lightning damage + an extra projectile with about 1/2 of the damage modifier of icy strike.
Fitting Charged staff into this build is going to be hard unless I'll find a good ring with +1 to skill slots and get enough additional spirit somewhere to run another spirit skill in addition to two heralds and evasion boost plus the charged staff. Maybe ditching Herald of thunder would work better but I'm not sure if losing 50% boost for lightning damage from the passive is worth it
@@rlm81yt Charged staff requires more spirit than you really tend to have during the campaign for the power charge generation. It can be good late game but for the campaign I would rather have double herald
Hey! are u planning to do an update of how ur build is currently looking? i expect u have made some changes since ur last upload 3 days ago :) Ty for the good build!
Yep. Probably tomorrow, took a couple days to do the SSF run for this video so I'm catching up on mapping. Just hitting T8s so should be on reds by tomorrow for a better end game update
How much % dmg I need to chill and ignite? Isn’t better just to go phys weapon and let it convert to cold/lightning with strike skills? Poe2 dmg seems to scale easier no matter what element.
@@somethingfellonme2 Kind of, been lifting a bit but I'm sure forgetting to eat sometimes because I'm grinding POE 2 is probably contributing a bit the last week or so haha
@@divinityai Yeah SSF fresh. To be fair my first playthrough took me over 30 hours too with all the exploitation and learning the lore but now I'm ready to zoom (unless nerfs happen)
I rarely die at all. Only had a couple deaths from start to maps on SSF and on Standard I only died once from level 70 to 78 up to T9 maps. You maybe just aren't upgrading your gear as often as you should like I go over in detail in the video
What’s your favorite class so far?
Monk by far but I only played a little of ranger and warrior other than that. I will try them all soon enough though
nice guide but i still have no clue about the rotation i have to use from level 10 on
Ice strike at lvl14, bell, herald of ice, freezing mark, charged staff, 60 spirit, then resonance node for charges on freeze

Looks amazing! Will try this out now that my CoF sorc is ruined.
@@ryan17stehle Yeah that's a bummer about your build. This build was supposed to be CoF originally too and now I'm glad it wasn't
Man don't feel bad, I had a COF/COMD/COI/ witch build. I was sick like I know they didn't fuck me over like this 🤦🏿♂️.

Thank you for the info.
Question: In the guide, under cons, there;s "gear to ES" What is ES?
Energy shield. Late game ( level 80+) you need more defense to survive so it might be necessary to respec the character at that point to go energy shield and evasion hybrid gear instead of evasion and armour
Why not charged staff? It's a good chunk of extra dmg given that you are going elemental

Do you have recommend skill allocation in passive tree? Where to prioritize? Im only lvl 32
Can you perhaps update your build on maxroll for late stage like t9-t12 maps. thank you

@@BehindEyesGamingPOE Do u feel like the build is keeping up? Ive been struggeling a bit im lvl 72
@@BehindEyesGamingPOE much waiting update, ty so much for guide!
How do you do lighting dmg with this build?
Just lvlup until lvl 14 with bow skills light arrow and rod are just too powerful not to use them
How much % dmg I need to chill and ignite? Isn’t better just to go phys weapon and let it convert to cold/lightning with strike skills? Poe2 dmg seems to scale easier no matter what element.
Wouldn't it be better to Anoint Climate change to the amulet and take a different path to save points?
For end game yes but generally you won't have the emotions yet when starting off and this guide is geared towards that
Hi, can you make update for level 50-60 plz ? thx
Nice job mate, THX
damn bro you look live you've lost a lot of weight, congrats, been hitting the gym?
@@somethingfellonme2 Kind of, been lifting a bit but I'm sure forgetting to eat sometimes because I'm grinding POE 2 is probably contributing a bit the last week or so haha
this is fun to play i'm lvl 20 thanks for the guide
Is the planner busted for anyone else i cant click on any aupport gem
Hi, how do you add sockets to unbound avatar?? I can't!
Should be able to just click a support gem and select it like any other skill. That's what I've been doing
@BehindEyesGamingPOE I mean more sockets, you have 3 sockets and three support gems there. I cannot figure out how to use orbs on unbound avatar.
@Odrade100 Oh. Ascendancy skills gain sockets as your character levels up. Not sure at which levels though.
I see now thnx!
so it took 15 hours with no twink gear? Sign me in, My monk levelling took 36 hours.
@@divinityai Yeah SSF fresh. To be fair my first playthrough took me over 30 hours too with all the exploitation and learning the lore but now I'm ready to zoom (unless nerfs happen)
I'm 39 hours in. Lvl 39 mid act 3.
It says increase 30 percent of defences of staff not quarter staves …?
I have 11k dps in act 3 regular
And thats good?
Tried this build out, there is literally zero defense. You die to pretty much every single pack of mobs
I rarely die at all. Only had a couple deaths from start to maps on SSF and on Standard I only died once from level 70 to 78 up to T9 maps. You maybe just aren't upgrading your gear as often as you should like I go over in detail in the video
