Got this build going today. I made some tweaks myself to stack %mana taken before life via Lucidity + jewels instead of MoM as well as grabbed Falcon Dive for a solid attack speed increase since we have so much accuracy from our dex. Really love the addition of crit/crit dmg nodes as I think people are sleeping on crit for these builds. The clear speed on this thing is insane. Great work!
@@bodybuildinglife3718 I'm about 30div in but I spent 15 div on a timeless jewel, 3.2k HP / 4K mana 75/75/75/34. I'm struggling with chaos resist but I'm sure if I bought a chaos resist / % int timeless it would help. I tested the defense on breachstone 4 I was able to take a few hits without dying.
The problem with this build is you are too squishy when doing end game maps. You have high damage but when an end game boss hits you, you are gone. I can't find a build who have good survivability so I gone to Mind over Matter and Eldritch Battery to have a good survivability when it comes to end game bosses.
this build is suitable for people with good technical control. you are right it is very squishy, all the youtuber to make guides on this build never mentioned about survivability issue. it is a very very high investment class canon build. Good luck to those who are new to POE
@@jamesyue1348 At very high investment you aren't really squishy anymore ! Atm I have 4k life, 4k1 mana with some evasion from gear. Some on death effects on gigajuiced maps will still kill you but overall you almost never die.
How does one progress into this build when you have to start with crossbow? For example how far are you expected to level up with grenades until switch the whole build? I was at level 88 merc/gem before i could try this build.
you can absolutly level up without Howa, done so with some of my characters. Use pillar and just get as much flat elemental damage as you can on gloves and rings, also change out gear from time to time, lvl 15 & 30 ish. i aslo used ice strike all the way to 52, then when you can equip Howa u can swap to flurry and start getting some more dexterity for attackspeed scaling. but grenades are fun aswell. that was wat i started with on this character.
Hey, I got this build running and currently in endgame. 1. How do you have 100k damage in tempest flurry ? 2. How can you reach 600 on int? I'm currently using Regalia on my chest and headhunter on my belt. Any advice?
just getting attributes on all your gear really and as much u can on passive tree aswell. for damage you can try and change the attributes around, sometimes you get more value of having mor str or more int for example, however i try and focus as much as i can on int as im playing with mom and we get mana from int.
its absolutly doable but keep an eye on your mana sustain! i would prob take Electrocute from storm wave making us gain powe charges more frecently and electrocuting enemies (stunning) while we go!
That sounds like it would work. I run Morior with %res/% to mana. I get 61 spirit from my amulet (solar amulet with 13 intrinsic and +48 spirit). There are many ways to overcome limitations. I am trying to save up for a Morior with %res/%to all attributes.
@rodswoodworking7151 I'm now using a morior with attributes and mana, at the expense of a little defense I do a lot more damage, and I only use 100 spirit so I don't use cast on shock
dont have a guide but if you dont have Howa i would not start leveling with attribute staking but if you do u can abslutly start with attribute stacking. you just need to get flat damage on gloves and rings for example and uppgrade it from time to time while leveling. i been levleing with ice strike and bell and at 52 when you can equip howa you can swap to tempest flurry and then start investing more in dexterity.
Im doing mom with this setup so getting mana is the main source of defence, also killing everything before they can hit you also helps. I go over the gear in the item showcase, bodyarmour is only for the atteibutes and spirit to be able to use all spirit gems
@@gringogaming0 yeah the killing isnt a problem when everything evaporates,its helluva fun to play,but shots off the fov always get me so kill before getting killed dosnt work everytime,what dose mom stand for?.
How much mana u on right now? 3k with some extra mana regen has been working Great for me and even better as you get even more! You might want to spec out of mom and try getting % of damage taken from mana before lofe on jewels, can be quite expensive if you want to get dmg like crit on there aswell nit makes you tale like half damage of mana if you get it on all slots without the mana regen penalty
When you activate charged staff, it enhances your tempest fury. There is no auto attack for charged staff, but you can only activate charged staff after you build up charges. This build gains charges through combat frenzy and resonance. Use storm wave to build charges if you are struggling to get them.
a word of caution for new player. stay away from this build. I know it looks damn good, lots of POE content creator play this build because it gives an awesome and stunning showcase.
so what happens when you get smacked with 0% evasion, and you get smacked hard and drains all your mana. then your just waiting to die? why do these builds have 0% evasion lol. I have 75% with ALITTLE bit less damage, and my survivability has increased 100x. no longer get 1 shot
awesome to combine evasion if you can! i would probobly do a combo like that with the invoker instead of the gemling tho as it has more nodes around it and the spirit acendancy would be super good aswell not having to worry about spirit. For me i have not have that many issuses wit dryning my mana. some times sure but mostly everything dies so fast that they wont be able to make a hit.
I think Three Dragons is better helm if your not near end game and lack a way to make power charges. with three dragons you wont need storm wave. trying figure out how your attacks are longer than mine, im guessing its the 800 more int you have over me lmao
This is a very fun build, but unfortunately, it has weaknesses in every area. Against bosses, its damage doesn’t come close to that of Concoction Pathfinder, Spark Spellweaver, Detonate Dead Blood Mage, or Temporalis Lightning Bolt Blood Mage. It’s also quite squishy without Mind Over Matter (MoM), and with MoM, a single hit from a T4 boss can drain all its mana, making the fight frustrating. While it has potential as a strong breach farmer, it’s held back by its poor mechanics: it often gets stuck on terrain, making even simple tasks like navigating doors frustrating. In the end, it’s mid-tier for bosses and mechanically awkward while mapping. It promises to shine with an investment of 20d for Melting Maelstrom, 60 for Invictus, 180 for Astramentis, 25 for Ingenuity, and GG rings at 20 each-but at that point, you’re pouring a fortune into a build just to make it viable.
Perfect answer. I have this build and indeed it loses its charm when a boss drains all your mana or when you get stuck on walls or corners. Most maps are limited and narrow. Now I have a Stormwave Spark and I'm not enjoying the gameplay as much. Would you have another build to recommend?
@@renato30 I don't know there is not much fun in PoE2 in the end. I mean, it's not like I hate the game, I played every single ascendency to at least T15 maps and the game faces its own problems. Layouts are bad, maps are too big, so playing like a slow character is just annoying. Then again playing fast characters can be annoying due to visual clutter and environmental obstructions. If you can withstand SFX on loop warcry warchief was probably the most fun to me, it's rather on a weak side tho.
I like this version of HOWA/Pillar. I had to swap cast on shock (CoS) for blink though, I just can't operate without it. I will probably keep CoS handy for bossing. I am running Morior Invictus Grand Regalia with an amulet that has 61 total spirit. Everything just dies off map before I can see what it was I just killed. I am currently farming for the unique jewels but everything works with the rare jewels.
No, you need to have cold damage to attacks somewhere in the build to generate charges or use storm wave with electrocute support gem. I had the same issues when I first played this build but then I learned what I was doing wrong. You cannot proc herald of ice if you do not have cold damage. I bought rings with cold damage to attacks and I had no problems maintaining charges with tempest fury and now my map is one giant explosion 24/7.
For the low low Price of 10 Divines per Jewel or 180 for shit Jewels.. Hate this unapproachable effect instead of showing shit gear/stats and how it works then.
From what I can tell there is: -stat stacker flicker -stat stacker tri-wave -stat stacker ice strike w multiple bells at once -some hipster running 75% block staff (also 75% dmg via Keystone) Eventually all monks shift over to stat stacking, as it has the highest ceiling. Plus the unique gloves and staff plus belt and magic find in other slots is simply too synergistic. There is no compromise in neither damage or magic find as it stands right now.

@@gringogaming0 Awesome thank you! This guide is great good job
can this build clear everything well in the game? Tanky enough? Thanks!
You mentioned Morior invictus as a Chest Upgrade. What Cores would you use in that? I'm assuming Mana?
If you can fit it in, mana but as itd also very resist starving i went with that for now
@@gringogaming0 Thanks for that buddy. gg.

what is the opening music?
Its the poe early ecces trailer music 👍

is a morior with resistance to all elements and spirit good? for attributes i use ingenuity

@@gringogaming0 alrighty thank you
@gringogaming0 how effective would be to keep ice strike at this build? Just like it visually, lightning dmg is still useful for it ?
Sure it works i gues! You would have to get some extra movmentspeed tho!
Ok ty. Prob will use blink at weapon swap 2
What are you doing for single target. Mine feels like crap against late game bosses
How are your attirbutes? Got 5 link?
@gringogaming0 415 strength, 308 dex, 409 int. Only greater jewelers. No perfects yet
@Plop_Loggin have u invested in crit? Jewel slots can have up to 20% per slot! Makes a huge difrent as its a multiplier
@@gringogaming0 I have not. I have been following allies guide. Thinking I need to switch to this.

@@gringogaming0 hey cheers for the heads up 8)
Np! Happy to help!
How do I get a charge so i can power the staff on a single target boss? Impossible to get a charge...
Im using storm wave to electicute, thsts the esiest way of getting a charge, if you all out👍
@gringogaming0 oh ok. What if your stormwave doesnt electrocute. Any ideas?
@XxGxRxUxNxTxX put the electicute support on👍 you can put it on your flurry aswell if you sacrifice some dmg
Anywhere else I can get at least +10 spirit? Since I'm using Astramentis amulet
You can get on Against the Darkness but its quite expensive 👍
@@gringogaming0 so the Against the Darkness jewel can roll +to spirit?
@vicentepadayao1 yes they can but expensive👍
What I chose in act3 and act6 by servi???
I went with Mana regen & chaos resist
map bosses are nukeing my mana,what do?
How much mana u on right now? 3k with some extra mana regen has been working Great for me and even better as you get even more!
