You can map the same way with charged staff if you toggle targeting behavior type on controller, I assume pc has the same function. On console it can be bound to the skill bar it looks like a hand with a raised finger, toggled off you just act like lightsaber guy dancing in place and shooting lighning, with it on you rely on the ice strike targetting and get the mobility of the final strike's long range lunge, alt targetting seems to break in clouds of smoke so togle it off and rely on shattering palm as your gap closer for strongboxes, rituals and the ocassional smoke blinding magic and rares.
I fucking love how Ice strike basically teleports you to your target with like 10 feet of range. It's such a nice feeling for clearing. You really feel like a ninja darting between foes.
@@F8isRIPPINGreat advice, that's what I've been running all the time. Slap the closest mob with shattering palm for a nice gap close and dash through the entire wave using ice strike. The mob explosions are insanely satisfying
Small trick that I haven't seen people using - if you're running Wind Dancer, slap on Life Thief. It's a significant attack% with 3 stacks and will give you a fat leech after you've been hit by melee.
@@kaloyankitanov6977 Not sure what you're seeing. Life Thief supports Attacks, and Wind Dancer has the Attack tag. Do you have enough strength allocated to add another str support? It definitely works.
@@evlolve When you hover over a Support gem in your inventory, it shows a little list of supported Skills for which this gem will work. Wind Dancer is crossed out there. Regardless, I've still put the gem in and will test it to see if it really does work or not. And yes, I have enough str support for it.
One of the most fun and easy to gear builds out there for monk. You can definitely reach end game with cheap gears. Definitely hope to see more builds from Skryah.
Perfect timing! Love this build, so easy to get up and running and only died to two death effects (pre-nerf) since hitting maps and pushing into Tier 9, almost lvl 80.
One tip for the Freezemonk and endgame bosses. Take Glacial Cascade with crit against immobiliesed, less area of effect and more area damage, more elemental dmg (but no ailments) and +40%dmg but 10 sec cooldown. U can literall take 30-40% of the bosses health when u hit with the end of it and consume the freeze. No impact on the build other than a shitload of dmg when u hit a frozen enemy.
Monk is an absolute beast of a character. The playstyle just hits the spot for me. It might not be my long term main after the fulll game releases but it will forever be my first main!
This build is incredible, and easy to play. Thank you for providing excellent videos (3 so far?) for it! I highly recommend it, but fear it will get nerfed because of how good it is.
Excellent! Can't wait to level up a monk. Initially rolled warrior, very clunky. Got my ranger to T10 maps, ready to have some fun with Monk! I love following guides, so many mechanics in PoE 1/2 that I can't quite grasp on how to optimize - and maybe content creators experiment too and eventually the optimal setups get there - but it's just nice after a long mentally exhausting day at work to not have to sit there with spreadsheets trying to figure out why my build sucks lol.
I know freeze is strong and has been nerfed a couple times deservedly so, i just hope they dont nerf it into the ground.. freeze shattering effects are my favorite part of this game.
Pure ice builds were not nerfed at all. They nerfed other builds that only had a token frost damage to perma-freeze essentially for free by making freeze buildup relying on the amount of frost damage dealt. You can still freeze without going pure frost, it is just much harder; but for mostly frost damage builds almost nothing has changed.
I sadly it seems that I can't play builds that freeze and shatter because it tanks my performance to absolute pile of crap whenever mobs are shattered and you have the ice particles on the ground.. My current and only build is this monk but it is just frustrating when it destroys my performance and I don't want to reroll/make new build since I got to lvl 78 and cleared 3/4 ascendancy trials.
@@GTRaijin are you using dynamic culling? Could maybe help out a bit. Not sure about this, just throwing it out there. It is an option in the graphics section. Hope it helps!
Just what am waiting for, I have changed three build already since EA start this is the one for me. I am currently blasting through low tier map no problem at all. Thank for the Update I would love to see more of your progress of this build. Gonna go with this build to the end.
@@coldven0m Great so far I'm half way through this build, the damage is great just one bell on boss give me 0.6-0.7m damage and it's tanky things that killed me are some mechanic I didn't pay attention(ex: the purple staff that just got nerfed yesterday)
I started with a spark sorc and then later wanted to try monk. I really enjoyed ice strike so I stuck with it and now i'm enjoying clearing red maps with ease on such a simple build. I put a build guide out on this as well explaining that I think its great for new players to get a lot of power without a lot of complication while also only having to press a couple buttons. (no charged staff though, I may have to consider that as well)
Can this guy make a UA-cam channel? The video and build explanation was concise and perfect. I'm not well crafted in PoE but I understood all the build without getting lost I was going to make a Ranger at some point, but this build looks kinda interesting and straight forward
So in the post-50% tree you give up a bunch of crit chance nodes. Do you actually get to 50% just from the other nodes and gear? Or are you not basing you critchance off the ice strike tool tip and actually add crit chance from power charges etc?
Im having 53% just standning still, i was able get The crit from necklace(anointment) jewels its 3 will be 4 when u reach like level 87, Helmet and The most important is to get a weapons with crit because its a basemultiplier(?) (dont ask me how to calcuate) biggest problem is phys + crit +as is around 10-20 div atm (ofc it depends on how big u wanna go in stats) if u not are lucky with craft. Think im having 13,34% or something like that on weap.
@@AeliusX Just to chime in on the Basecrit. You are right. The higher your Base Crit Chance is on the Staff the better it scales. All your % Increases to Crit Chance are based on your Base Crit Chance. To calculate this is pretty easy actually. Your Base Crit Chance is the Staff. Having 10% Crit Chance for example, means any increases are based of this. So a 10% increase will be 10% of the base. In this case 0.1%. the more % Increases you have the more crit chance you get (duh) but also the higher your Base Crit is, the easier it gets to have higher Crit Chance. Since with all increases, 150% from 13.34 Base Crit igets you to like 33% Crit, while at 10% Base it onyl gets you to 25%.
This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I made it into T7 maps without looking at a build, something I am trying to do more of, but was struggling with survivability. This is super close to what I had, I was just lacking charged staff component. Really looking forward to trying this
Having any success in sanctum with this? I get owned so hard in sanctum as melee. Even when freezing stuff, there are mechanics that just does not play nice with melee range (terracotta twins, unique mobs with thorn effects, ground effects under mobs etc).
@@alexmo1941 I only got around 65% atm. I will try a storm wave build next I think with the buff to electrocute. All of the benefits of CC, but with range.
Interesting version: I play Conc effect instead of creshendo & either cold pen/creshendo or the headhunter gem instead of inspiration(the headhunter gem is amazing for breaches, pretty useless othervise). I use a 650dps weapon with 0 atk. speed though to avoid mana issues. Increased Area support is AMAZING on shattering palm, I never went back aftery trying it, just makes the herald of ice explosion radius much bigger(If I kill a mob in the middle of a Tower room, the entire room can explode). Elemental Invocation + orb of winter/lightning balls trigger all 24 Bell hits within
Your skill recommendations are a little hard to follow. What are you dropping for Elemental Invocation and Eye of Winter (low level just to proc bell)? I think I saw DontheCrown using this tech, dropping Ghost Dance and Charge Infusion I think?
@@setcamper I don't use the 1%life regen support, can drop the 15%increased life recovery from flasks aswell. Personally, I have a 2,1k evasion chest which enables a ton of auras anyways (and I use an unset ring as of today. I actually do use herald of ice, ghsot dance, charge infusion, elemental invocation, combat frenzy(for power charges) and wind dancer. With a 2,4k evasion chest I could add grim feast aswell. Personally, I'm sitting at 79% armor and 86% evasion as of today(with active wind dancer). I considered using the uique helm with 15 additional phys dr for the max 90 armor but I am mostly scared of elemental dmg anyways (went for +2 max fire/frost/lightning jewels aswell).
Great build! I have a few questions: 1) Why use ice strike instead of the curse version to apply hypothermia and mark of frost? 2) Is acrobatics worth taking? 3) Is charge infusion a nessasary aura? I am running blink instead. 4) Why not path up to get echoing frost and critical exploit? Or is careful assasin path just better?
Elemental invocation is just strictly better than cast on shock. You can decide when you want to use it for burst, or put it on left click and have it auto fire. It just generates faster period.
@skryah Hey man, any plans on like a final step of high investment/minmax version of the build? I've followed your guide, and managed to get the build to its max sort of, wondering what the next steps are to make it kill bosses even faster etc :) I was also wondering about values on crit dmg bonus compared to higher phys on wep. All the best!
I was doing an ice strike monk and having a horrible time - respecc’d to this version and immediately took down the Act 2 boss which I was struggling to even get to with the other build - hopefully it will continue to slap
Been following your planners since level 25 and this made the game so much more fun! QUESTION: do you recommend switching to the above 50% crit build buffed (with charges) or unbuffed?
On Maxroll, the written guide suggests using Cast on Shock, supporting Eye of Winter. Both Cast on Shock and Eye of Winter at level 20, or even anything above level 13, requires much more int than the build suggests. The only way to get this would be on gear, I assume, or should I not really worry about the level of the gem here so much? Any help would be awesome.
My build is pretty similar. Im in t6 maps rn and i dont really feel the need to use charge staff yet. Hopefully i can make it work without. Ice strike just feels so good
Awesome Video! Would have been nice if you could have shown the detailed stats of frost strike briefly. (to see how high of a crit chance you managed to reach so far. purely curiosity)
Skryah mentions it, but using Inspiration over Crescendo as your 5th link solves all your mana issues. I prefer using Charged strike, to me it feels more fluid, less jerky and the damage helps me pick off the smaller packs quicker than relying on Shattering Palm. I can see it being a preference, especially as your damage scales, but I recommend trying it.
@@devaalous Sorry, Charged Staff. It's the buff that consumes power charges and shoots lighting waves in front to you. It's in the skill guide, OP mostly recommends it for bosses but I find it much more fluid for mapping as well.
@@setcamper I see, I also use it for general mapping for me since i have 20% quality on it and it lasts for 52 seconds really feels nice but just a question, Do you still use shattering palm if not what skill did you change it for?
@@devaalous I still use shattering palm, it's a solid initiator/mobility skill where we have none and it's invaluable during breaches/expeditions and solid in Ritual and some annoying maps where it's easy to get surrounded awkwardly. There's a unique ring, Polcirkeln, that shatters chilled enemies (goes for ~25-30ex) that could probably replace palm but I haven't tried it because I don't want to loose chaos resistance.
@@setcamper Huge thanks for mentioning Polcirkeln, it made a really huge difference when clearing and doing breaches basically anything with crazy mob density. Its a night and day difference my clear now feels zoomy as hell and it almost feels like POE 1. Although i had trouble fitting my resistances i unfortunately had to change my boots but it all worked out in the end. I saw it selling for 1 divine and filtered in the trade to only see it selling for Exalts and i got it for 30ex, Definately a huge upgrade in my clear.
Awesome work ! There is one thing I didn't quite understand though : on bossing setup, how do you shock (to proc CoS) if you don't have charged staff up and you don't have power charge ? Currently, I don't have enough spirit (currently 212 spirit) to keep up Combat Frenzy + CoS (to get the 1st power charge through first freeze and then shock with charged staff) so I'm chargeless and I can't proc CoS to get them Love what you did though ! Thanks if you answer, take care.
@@bicepsking Yeah, kinda, but before the first freeze, it could take some time especially against pinnacle bosses. But it is strange because on Breach Boss, I get charges before freezing him and I don't have any power charges generation besides Combat Frenzy. I'm looking into it
@@nicolascarton2642 get 4 hits on the boss and put down your bell. Your bell freezes almost instantly when you attack it, and voila! You have your first power charge.
Question: Losing 10% evasion for 60-70% armor - is this actually worth it? Going down from 83 to 72% evasion and I feel like I get the one shots a lot more often.
2 questions: What is the desired accuracy rating so bosses won't dodge in end game? And is there no way to solve mana issues to put +melee skills on weapon? I would really appreciate the help. Loving and playing this build for 100 hours now ❤
I’m at around 2700 accuracy with no precision, so use precision it could really help if you notice bosses are evading hits. Regarding +skills, I wouldn’t use it since the build is primarily focused on crit, so getting crit chance and +skills on your quarter staff will be incredibly luck based or stupid expensive. Instead of +skills, I would suggest focusing on getting and attack speed of at least 1.75 and a crit chance of 14% on your quarter staff. Cheers!
My Monk is lvl 20 and I have crafted a staff with 60-89 physical and plus 20% physical amongst other good stats and I'm destroying everything with one button Cold strike. Literally don't need another skill other than bell for bosses. Its insane fun
I lobe the monk almost as i would love the Paladin. I would play it in every way, shape or form. I hope they'll do some unarmed skills, cause i would really see something like "Way of a hundred fists" or "seven sided strike"....i'd go crazy if i could play it as a Fist of the North Star anime.....
I found myself that BEST stat on weapon is actually - besides ofc high physical dps - "elemental damage with attacks". I've got myself a staff with 600+ physical dps, 26% attack speed and crazy 117% elemental damage with attacks" and my 5-linked only 18 lvl ice strike tooltip shows 158k dps while unbuffed. For example pinnacle boss fight in breach tooked me like 15 seconds xD Same like 4th ascendancy boss fight - its just crazy!
This is the best build and the one I am using :D thank you Skryah! Question: Any reason why Slicing Staff is better here for end game? Is it just the crit chance?
ive had so much fun with this build... although i picked the early version and kinda improvised a bit with it. I am still running charged staff for mapping since i dont yet have enough spirit to slide in Charge Infusion. Unbound Avatar i never felt the need to use so i didnt bother picking it up. Instead i went directly for the "Sunder My Enemies". I am still running frost bomb to apply some extra exposure but i am considering removing it completely from my build as i often forget to even use it :D The only issues i have encountered so far is Trial of Sehkemas but that might be skill issue. Ive never been good at "no hit runs"
I have my own hybrid build + my own skill combination for survivability. Personally I think all of the builds so far, only demo endgame. Raxx is the closest for leveling, but his build lack survivaibility. MY own twist added that it is soo much better now.
Could we please specify the amount of evasion required to sustain all of the auras? How much evasion are we looking for, also can we sacrifice energy shield on body armor for more evasion to sustain more auras?
There's a note on it in the written guide. "EVEN MORE CLEARSPEED: Swap one ring for Polcirkeln. Enjoy one-tapping two screens. Remove Elemental Focus from Herald of Ice Add Magnified Effect and Ambush to Herald of Ice "
@@Zizaran Do you think the mana issues are significant enough to take mana regen draught instead? If you could go back and choose the Draughts again would you still go with element threshold and chaos res?
I think I have one of the best quarterstaff in game so far. Phy dmg 275-450, crit hit chance 4.66% ( in weapon is 16.16%, +4 to melee skills, Acu & int
in my build it doesn't rly work to trigger cast on shock and idk why. sure there could be a few points like "not enough lightning damage" but thats undefined in the video what you really need that it works. (in his written guide i also do not find a single word. his gear has no lightning damage on it too....)

Been following your planners since level 25 and this made the game so much more fun!
QUESTION: do you recommend switching to the above 50% crit build buffed (with charges) or unbuffed?
On Maxroll, the written guide suggests using Cast on Shock, supporting Eye of Winter. Both Cast on Shock and Eye of Winter at level 20, or even anything above level 13, requires much more int than the build suggests. The only way to get this would be on gear, I assume, or should I not really worry about the level of the gem here so much?
Any help would be awesome.
Can someone explain this please??
Hey Mr Editor, Can you add a link to your filter, going crazy trying to make my own without the filterblade website :D
Everyone is using neversink.
Love this build! Using this until I get enough currency to go for tri stat legionnaire :D
My build is pretty similar. Im in t6 maps rn and i dont really feel the need to use charge staff yet. Hopefully i can make it work without. Ice strike just feels so good
Awesome Video! Would have been nice if you could have shown the detailed stats of frost strike briefly. (to see how high of a crit chance you managed to reach so far. purely curiosity)
is the 50% crit chance on the ice strike before or after any buffs?
Great guide. What about adding just a bit of fire damage to increase bell multiplier?
That's not how it works. Igniting the bell will make it deal more fire damage, which we don't do.

I personally love how the mob clearing here looks crazy fast but not straight up obnoxious like in PoE 1 ❤️🔥
When I saw the build I knew the gameplay would be Skryah's character!!
Gj Man thanx for build on Maxroll e nice video is a funny ahahaha
I've been running a build like this and it's OP for sure. Great build
Skryah mentions it, but using Inspiration over Crescendo as your 5th link solves all your mana issues.
I prefer using Charged strike, to me it feels more fluid, less jerky and the damage helps me pick off the smaller packs quicker than relying on Shattering Palm. I can see it being a preference, especially as your damage scales, but I recommend trying it.
whats chargesd strike ? i dont see it in the skill gem tabs
@@devaalous Sorry, Charged Staff. It's the buff that consumes power charges and shoots lighting waves in front to you.
It's in the skill guide, OP mostly recommends it for bosses but I find it much more fluid for mapping as well.
@@setcamper I see, I also use it for general mapping for me since i have 20% quality on it and it lasts for 52 seconds really feels nice but just a question, Do you still use shattering palm if not what skill did you change it for?
@@devaalous I still use shattering palm, it's a solid initiator/mobility skill where we have none and it's invaluable during breaches/expeditions and solid in Ritual and some annoying maps where it's easy to get surrounded awkwardly. There's a unique ring, Polcirkeln, that shatters chilled enemies (goes for ~25-30ex) that could probably replace palm but I haven't tried it because I don't want to loose chaos resistance.
@@setcamper Huge thanks for mentioning Polcirkeln, it made a really huge difference when clearing and doing breaches basically anything with crazy mob density. Its a night and day difference my clear now feels zoomy as hell and it almost feels like POE 1. Although i had trouble fitting my resistances i unfortunately had to change my boots but it all worked out in the end. I saw it selling for 1 divine and filtered in the trade to only see it selling for Exalts and i got it for 30ex, Definately a huge upgrade in my clear.
Awesome work !
There is one thing I didn't quite understand though : on bossing setup, how do you shock (to proc CoS) if you don't have charged staff up and you don't have power charge ? Currently, I don't have enough spirit (currently 212 spirit) to keep up Combat Frenzy + CoS (to get the 1st power charge through first freeze and then shock with charged staff) so I'm chargeless and I can't proc CoS to get them
Love what you did though !
Thanks if you answer, take care.
dont you just freeze the boss once to get a power charge?
@@bicepsking Yeah, kinda, but before the first freeze, it could take some time especially against pinnacle bosses.
But it is strange because on Breach Boss, I get charges before freezing him and I don't have any power charges generation besides Combat Frenzy. I'm looking into it
@@nicolascarton2642 get 4 hits on the boss and put down your bell. Your bell freezes almost instantly when you attack it, and voila! You have your first power charge.
Question: Losing 10% evasion for 60-70% armor - is this actually worth it? Going down from 83 to 72% evasion and I feel like I get the one shots a lot more often.
2 questions:
What is the desired accuracy rating so bosses won't dodge in end game?
And is there no way to solve mana issues to put +melee skills on weapon?
I would really appreciate the help. Loving and playing this build for 100 hours now ❤
I’m at around 2700 accuracy with no precision, so use precision it could really help if you notice bosses are evading hits.
Regarding +skills, I wouldn’t use it since the build is primarily focused on crit, so getting crit chance and +skills on your quarter staff will be incredibly luck based or stupid expensive.
Instead of +skills, I would suggest focusing on getting and attack speed of at least 1.75 and a crit chance of 14% on your quarter staff.
Cheers!
Pick elemental expression next to proc your herald of ice and drop shattering palm as it's a really clunky ability, imo
My Monk is lvl 20 and I have crafted a staff with 60-89 physical and plus 20% physical amongst other good stats and I'm destroying everything with one button Cold strike. Literally don't need another skill other than bell for bosses. Its insane fun
I lobe the monk almost as i would love the Paladin. I would play it in every way, shape or form. I hope they'll do some unarmed skills, cause i would really see something like "Way of a hundred fists" or "seven sided strike"....i'd go crazy if i could play it as a Fist of the North Star anime.....
amazing video would love to see it in alot more depth tho. 10/10
I lost so much survivability speccing into protect me from harm it’s crazy
Question about the planner - how are you running 150 spirit worth of persistent buffs with no extra spirit on gear?
Ascendancy point for invoker. Gives you spirit based on the evasion and energy shield of your body armor.
The planner needs updated with the gear he is using and the passives are incomplete on the planner.
I found myself that BEST stat on weapon is actually - besides ofc high physical dps - "elemental damage with attacks". I've got myself a staff with 600+ physical dps, 26% attack speed and crazy 117% elemental damage with attacks" and my 5-linked only 18 lvl ice strike tooltip shows 158k dps while unbuffed. For example pinnacle boss fight in breach tooked me like 15 seconds xD Same like 4th ascendancy boss fight - its just crazy!
Can confirm its true but how tf did u get such a weapon but no currency for a 6 link haha
thats insane,mine is a 500 dps staff but my icestrike is only 41k,how did u get that much
Really awesome guide! I think Ziz need to take a stop back and become your Editor instead, lmao. Jk. Really well done!
Great guide! Do you level up the quality of ALL skills with Ice Strike and Tempest the priorities or no need to level them all?
Your not abusing anything your just a guy with a stick hitting a bell! Legendary comment
This is the best build and the one I am using :D thank you Skryah!
Question: Any reason why Slicing Staff is better here for end game? Is it just the crit chance?
Gothic Quarterstaff is better but this staff was just a really good deal.
Crit chance is the best stat.
-Skryah
@@Zizaran thanks for the reply, good to know!
I still feel immense sadness for being a chalupa instead of invoker
RIP Chalupas XD
Lol😂 chalupas. I ended up running a second monk just to get invoker smh. Being new to arpg games and having to do this was disheartening
that thing is a bait and a half.
have you tried just using eye of winter on the bell to proc it too cause it pumps the entire bell instantly
ive had so much fun with this build... although i picked the early version and kinda improvised a bit with it. I am still running charged staff for mapping since i dont yet have enough spirit to slide in Charge Infusion. Unbound Avatar i never felt the need to use so i didnt bother picking it up. Instead i went directly for the "Sunder My Enemies". I am still running frost bomb to apply some extra exposure but i am considering removing it completely from my build as i often forget to even use it :D
The only issues i have encountered so far is Trial of Sehkemas but that might be skill issue. Ive never been good at "no hit runs"
are we supposed to get throatseeker early on? it reduces crit chance
I have my own hybrid build + my own skill combination for survivability. Personally I think all of the builds so far, only demo endgame. Raxx is the closest for leveling, but his build lack survivaibility. MY own twist added that it is soo much better now.
can you share your setup? I am in T15 and start feeling survivability issue. Thanks!
@@leniusxue6541 what build are you following so far?
One question if you put some points into accuracy does it count into this build?
Could we please specify the amount of evasion required to sustain all of the auras? How much evasion are we looking for, also can we sacrifice energy shield on body armor for more evasion to sustain more auras?
About 800 evasion and 350 es
unbound avatar - You are using Fire Mastery, is that correct? Wouldn't ice mastery be correct?
Please update the maxroll planner..
Is 50% crit or more ice strike crit or everything added up including stuff like eye of winter
Ahhhh, he has a Quarterstaff of Percy_Verence! Noice
Wouldnt it make sense to make use of some Cast On Crit skills too?
I am a new player and will create a monk tomorrow. Should i follow this build then? I dont know what to do lol
Would be interesting to see the char-sheet. How much armour/evasion. How much res?
how u have that filter? can u give a link please
What are you thoughts on polcirkeln? when to use / not use. TY and sick video!
There's a note on it in the written guide.
"EVEN MORE CLEARSPEED:
Swap one ring for Polcirkeln. Enjoy one-tapping two screens.
Remove Elemental Focus from Herald of Ice
Add Magnified Effect and Ambush to Herald of Ice
"
@@SenorSmaySmay polcirkeln are selling like hot cakes
why is the talent tree different from the video and the maxroll website ? which one is the most optimal
This guy change the build every clip and every maxroll planner
where did you get that high int? should we prioritize int in the passive skill tree?
Yeah, I was wondering where the INT came from as well.
Or you use like a gear Piece with like +30int
Where do I get the loot filter he’s using?
Neversink needs more time to cook so the link to his "barebones" filter is on the Filterblade website for POE1
@Skryah What are the 2 Potion/Draught you selected in your quest ? (perma buff) ?
Elemental Ailment Threshold in normal, Chaos Resistance in cruel.
-Skryah
@@Zizaran Do you think the mana issues are significant enough to take mana regen draught instead? If you could go back and choose the Draughts again would you still go with element threshold and chaos res?
@@alexmo1941 Me when i ask myself if i was satisfied with my life decisions when i was a teenager
@@alexmo1941 those are best picks ever for almost every class and character: 30% mana regen and chaos res. Never think of pickhing something else
@@ytkek Those are not the strongest for every character, each build is different and needs different things.
I think I have one of the best quarterstaff in game so far. Phy dmg 275-450, crit hit chance 4.66% ( in weapon is 16.16%, +4 to melee skills, Acu & int
when written guide ready ?
What generates the shock in the boss setup in order to charge up the "Cast on Shock" energy bar? I don't see any support gem changes regarding it.
in my build it doesn't rly work to trigger cast on shock and idk why. sure there could be a few points like "not enough lightning damage" but thats undefined in the video what you really need that it works. (in his written guide i also do not find a single word. his gear has no lightning damage on it too....)
