notably, charge infusion consumes one charge at a time, while combat frenzy can be made to generate multiple (there's even nodes that let you generate your maximum at once sometimes)
Grim feast is probably getting nerfed/changed before full release so thanks for heads up on Meditate, also thought "no way it would be good" just from reading description.
Same here i was thinking how tanky my 2000 es, 1700 hp flurry build was, now im at 14500 es with overflow. Having trouble with the charges with storm wave, only cold dmg on rings and ascendancy, mobs die before i froze them so no charges except with shattering palm
You can use meditate and grim feast together, your ES overflow just can't go over double. But they compliment each other well as they cover off each others weaknesses.
If you have the room and spirit heck ya! I made some changes since this was published and didn’t fit both in but this is something I plan on looking into
5:15 perhaps if you lvl that ascendancy point in a breach zone/the trial the skill em ALSO gets the 10% chance to be corrupted and hence can gain quality? maybe they plan on adding in a way later on?
Hi Travic, after watced your video… I tried to use meditate skill but it is not double the energy shield I have. From your video you have 7000 ES than when you cast the mediate it double to 14,000 ES. What am I missing?
Is the main source of high energy shield from the passive skill tree? I already have 1k shield in my setup, and I'm wondering if I could reach that energy shield without changing my equipment.
@@Chris3s I tried it, I reached like 3.5k shield. So with meditate skill I have a total of 7k. This isn't enough though, I need to reach at least 6k shield without meditate.
hey Travic, I think the only way to get quality on ascendancy skills are items that give '+quality to all skills'. Like ashes of the stars in PoE1, but i dont think they've added any uniques that do it yet. The only class that has this currently is gemling
Hey Travic! I recommend mobility for more speed while you are channeling. Also, the combo of shattering palm and wave of frost synergize very well. Remember to remove your support gems if you change your talents. They will be destroyed if you don't.
Yey… UA-cam deleted my comment again 🤦♂️ Anyway, what do you think about a different weapon like daggers once they’re released with a shield or a bow instead of a staff? And another question, have you tested the ascendancy point that adds effects to your attacks behind the penetration on crit one?
Its in the mobalytics! It has all the gear! I do have an update coming out in a few hours since I change some stuff on this. I made sure to go over all the gear in the new video
If you have Pillar of the caged god combine it with your gloves and try a attribute focused build^^ I delete the whole screen with it and its just hilarious to play
I did a video yesterday with an overview of all the gear this was mostly to showcase the skill changes to swap into mediate. The mobalytics had all the gear too and I made some more gear changes today so I’ll be doing another update later Today early tomorrow showcasing the gear
@ so at level 75 I would just do a meditate exploder using the same passive skill tree you use but just up to wherever I can reach…? Oh and one more question, how do you get enough strength to engrave Hetald of Ash? It says I need 166
@@Minos252 I thought herald of ash is a lvl 14 spirit skill? It tells me I need 146 strength to engrave it… oops figured it out… using a lvl 7 spirit gem solved it
Bleed only occurs if they hit your health total in POE2 and since they can’t hit our health we can bleed. Since we are immune to chaos and poison = chaos we can’t be poisoned. Keep in mind not all chaos is poison but poison is chaos
Could you do a video on how to maximize resistances successfully? I'm coming from diablo and it's a big change from their system trying to get my resistances up.
Yeah getting to 75% resistances is just about searching for items on trade with good resistance rolls and balancing out your gear. I can look into putting something together
Going chayula monk feels worse and worse every time i see these videos. Tempest just seems way more viable/meta. Im over here picking up my little mana and health leeches while you double your es casually...
@Travic_ it just feels like so bad early on. I'm actually 5 at this point around level 60 and there's nothing to spec into but extra random chaos damage and into the breach. Mana leech and darkness just feel very meh though maybe there is something end game that makes them better? I feel like mana leech could be good but you need gear investment to make it work and at level 60 I don't have that at all lol
I agree I moved to tempest and it’s way better. Although I don’t seem to have mana issues at all. Right now it feels like i have infinite mana so I can cut through mobs very easily
I continued the other builds and showcased them transitioning into ci. I do not have the gear to play the other non ci builds as I have progressing and pushing this build further and further. I’m also tired of dying to random on death effects and this mitigates them a lot.
One thing I’m noticing across the POE 2 community, is that “if the build doesn’t give me instant kills, then the build isn’t viable.”. Seems like the the focal point (concept) for build construction is instant gratification. Perhaps that’s why you didn’t use the meditate prior to being alerted to its effectiveness
Yeah! I mean i come from years of playing Path of Exile 1 and old habits are hard to break. It for sure took me a minute to fully accept this is a different game with different mechanics and I need to treat it as such! IM LEARNING THO!
@@Travic_ They'll probably hit Grim Feast before they hit Meditate tbf just because you can do Grim on all the classes as oppose to Meditate which is only Invoker specific.
I love how much experimentation you do thanks for sharing with us
Thank you!!! Were trying some new stuff soon
notably, charge infusion consumes one charge at a time, while combat frenzy can be made to generate multiple (there's even nodes that let you generate your maximum at once sometimes)
Yeah its really strong

BRO FOR REAL
Thanks for this. I was having trouble surviving in maps. I subbed.
Heck yeah! Welcome in!

Double unset rings for more pleasure
Hey Travic, Do you recommend ditching the Power Treads at this point?
Ya you really need solid es boots
5:15 perhaps if you lvl that ascendancy point in a breach zone/the trial the skill em ALSO gets the 10% chance to be corrupted and hence can gain quality? maybe they plan on adding in a way later on?

the main source is always equipment, there are many ways to scale it from the passive tree though

Its equipment + tree

Nvm on the mobility, it doesn't support... my bad.
Damn I was reading this and got excited then saw the update xD

IM SO EXCITED TO TRY SPEARS
Idk if I didn't hear it but what is overcharging your energy shield? because I checked the tree and don't see anything that overcharges it
It’s the entire focus of this video, the meditate skill
My only trusted source for monk, Thanks
Apprecaite the support
No section on gear? I'm curious on how you're getting so much ES, even with all the nodes
Its in the mobalytics! It has all the gear! I do have an update coming out in a few hours since I change some stuff on this. I made sure to go over all the gear in the new video
@Travic_ wonderful, thanks. Still working through tier 8 maps so I got a feeling I'm still far off to switching to a full ci meditation build.
damn that 2x double exalted drop was mindboggling
xD
its not even that rare to be honest, with the char i started 2d ago i already got like 3 double drops already
If you have Pillar of the caged god combine it with your gloves and try a attribute focused build^^ I delete the whole screen with it and its just hilarious to play
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What would you drop to get bell in there for like boss fights or something? Herald of ashe maybe?
Herald of Ashe for sure
Arcane surge in meditate might be worth to look at
OHHHHHHHHHH ill look
hey, asweome build and video. How come there was know overview about the gear or is the only thing necessary is the gloves?
I did a video yesterday with an overview of all the gear this was mostly to showcase the skill changes to swap into mediate. The mobalytics had all the gear too and I made some more gear changes today so I’ll be doing another update later

@@Travic_ oh okay thanks! Looking forward to the update bro. Keep up the beautiful work
This is why I'm glad I chose invoker ascendancy
Cookies on the left doughnuts on the right
@Travic_ haha
Question; what is the lowest level you can run this build?
I wouldnt start until like 88
@ so at level 75 I would just do a meditate exploder using the same passive skill tree you use but just up to wherever I can reach…? Oh and one more question, how do you get enough strength to engrave Hetald of Ash? It says I need 166

Where does poison and bleed immunity comes from ?
Bleed only occurs if they hit your health total in POE2 and since they can’t hit our health we can bleed. Since we are immune to chaos and poison = chaos we can’t be poisoned.
Keep in mind not all chaos is poison but poison is chaos
Where do you get ur attack speed ?
Dex and the gloves

@ I really appreciate it, I can’t thank you enough
Whats your full Dps when all is up ?
While on stream right now im pushing close to 200k with over 80% crit chance
Going chayula monk feels worse and worse every time i see these videos. Tempest just seems way more viable/meta. Im over here picking up my little mana and health leeches while you double your es casually...
I THINK CHAYULA IS ACTUALLY INSANE and I would like to experiment with it soon
Go full chaos damage man, you can clear maps and use Chayula to your advantage.
@Travic_ it just feels like so bad early on. I'm actually 5 at this point around level 60 and there's nothing to spec into but extra random chaos damage and into the breach. Mana leech and darkness just feel very meh though maybe there is something end game that makes them better?

I agree I moved to tempest and it’s way better. Although I don’t seem to have mana issues at all. Right now it feels like i have infinite mana so I can cut through mobs very easily
why is electrocute bad with ice strike ?
Ice strike doesnt do enough cold damage you need to move it to something else! I saw you ask this during the live I hope the answer helped
How do u get the points in the breach tree?
Kill the breach boss!
Love your Videos, but switching to CI is a big transition. I would like to see you continue your previous build.
I continued the other builds and showcased them transitioning into ci. I do not have the gear to play the other non ci builds as I have progressing and pushing this build further and further. I’m also tired of dying to random on death effects and this mitigates them a lot.
@@Travic_ Fair enough I feel ya. I'm currently just at the point of transitioning to red maps. How expensive was it for you transition to CI?
Wanted to give it a try, but you wrote the Gloves are a must. Unfortunatly the cheapest are at 6 Divine, Rip. 😢
Ya we made some changed today and the gloves alone are like 30k sheet dps it’s wild
Why not tempest flurry?
I am testing it right now on stream
How to not freeze when going on the map? hello
Bye
No clue check the poe2 forums
is meditate the whole reason to play monk :D ?
Absolutely
prolonged fights and war of attrition are not words that belong to the monk class
lol
It’s ok i get your point but bro you’re nearly tickling him
I mentioned in this video that I purposely put on low dps gear to prolong the fight to showcase the benefits of mediate in a prolonged encounter
Did you watch the video on mute?
You can still delete this comment dingus
good... good.
Wait till people see the ring video
Bring back ice monk😢
ICE STRIK GAMING
WE DOING SOME TEMPEST FLURRY RIGHT NOW
i play both ice strike and storm wave in the same build
SAME
You never went over the gear side.
Its all in the mobalytics
Can someone tell me how come he has 1 life pls
Chaos Inoculation, in the top right of the passive skill tree.
I have a video released before this talking about what CI is and explaining it all ua-cam.com/video/HF73T5GJ88s/v-deo.html
No bell eh?
The bell got added back on during the stream we changed a few things. Added in this cracked ring you guys have told me about too
@Travic_ whats the ring? When are you live again

I hear theres some good chonk builds floating around
I seen someone build a wind blast warrior and his video shows him absolutely shitting on end game map bosses.
Huh?
xDD
meditate nerf inc :P was fun while it lasted.
