As a new player I love seeing these different mechanics and avenues explained, thank you. As you probably know there's a node in the quarterstaff cluster that adds +1 power charge every time you use a spender as well.
Yeah, I was confused as a new player. i just got lvl 9 gem to unlock charged staff and welp,I can't use that skill until later in the game. Great information, and thank you. This helps a lot to understand as im still learning.
Can you use any level of uncut spirit gem to generate a “combat frenzy” gem, or does it specifically need a level 2 uncut spirit gem? If it does, where can I find a level 2 uncut spirit gem?
I switched to raxxs ice strike monk build that's very similar to yours. Is there any benefit to taking power charge nodes for raw charge staff power and possibly using flicker or falling over crit chance/damage nodes?
I’m not quite through act three on cruel. My damage is spectacular, but I am super squishy… dying to trash mob packs more than bosses at this point. What is the best defense stats for your gear? Evasion and shield? I will probably have to trade for a few pieces. It seems like the things that are killing me are more physical damage, even though my resistances are at about 30 to 60%.
You can use the Serpent's Egg unique amulet for a guaranteed extra charge whenever you build one. So for a simple hit to build your initial charge you're always building at least 2 to get things going. It also gives mana regen AND chaos resistance. I'm never taking it out of my build.
Is lightning monk just not viable in the endgame? Im loving the lightning build you made. Still in act 2 and waiting for charged staff to really complete the build. Ice and snow really that much better?
it's gotta be a hybrid lightning/cold build, as gaining charges via electrocution is a whole other thing. but something a lot of the builds you see are getting wrong is that monk skills are all %dmg CONVERTED to elemental... so the best thing you can do to ramp up dmg is to stack your weapon and skill tree with physical dmg 👍
If you want to use this charge generation trick using lighting skills you can either use Call of the brotherhood ring, three dragons helm or Kitoko gloves
Lightning I believe does slightly more damage, but Freeze gives you a ton of defences by freezing everything around you before it can attack you. Late game lightning is just dying over and over, you will have problem with finishing any T14+ map if not before.
I am not that far for now, but could build this besides of the ice damage. So im generating power charges with frenzy/electrocute which works well as long as there are enemys. But i cant generate them on bosses. Any tipps to get powercharges without many mobs/on bosses?
Can i ask is there a chance to change out the boots? As movespeed in end game hurts a lot. And can i ask do you get 1 shot by mobs in end game map? I am lv 75 with 76 %evasion still got killed in 1 shot i followed your build ,how to sustain better and do u think adding one unset ring with one more skill add more variations?
You need better gear to not get 1 shot, its all about improving the gear. If you want to change out the boots you are more then welcome to replace them with whatever you want. Thats the beauty of path of exile. You find gear that suits your needs! If you can find an unset ring with the stats you need you should do it
Hey Travic, i got an issue with this, i go for combat frenzy, i take resonance. I was hopping that my boots gonna give me charge every time it's up cause these dumbs bushwhack of the lizard thing say that every physical damage will pin the ennemy. Instead i get charges only on freeze or electrocute ennemies (and without striking palm it suck a lot). Any idea why this doesn't work? I use ceraunian deluge and storm wave as main skills.
You would need to put your entire character into mobalytics with all the gems and passive tree really for me to look over what is going on. Im not sure about the boots but I suspect you arent doing enough physical damage to pin the enemy but its hard to say without really looking it over. If you want to make your character up and post it in the discord in the help channel me or someone in the community will be able to look and attempt to help
@@Travic_ Ty for your response buddy, i'm just going trough this s**t, i'm lvl 68 and just finished the campaign with my normal build, so i'm heading to farm maps and get closer to one of your build :) But as monks maybe a day these dumbs boots will help us getting our lovely charges, we have to keep that in a corner. Have a good day and good loots :)
@travic As I prefer using storm wave because of the long distance (rather than ice strike or tempest) will Call of the Brotherhood convert all shockwave current damage (11k dps lightning) to 11k cold damage? Or is there a drop off? I guess I would need to recalibrate my passive skill to focus on cold damage rather than lightning?
@@Travic_ Yeah for me, storm wave does almost double the damage of ice break or tempest, and its ranged which means i'm not even touched. Only downside is it doesnt generate charges
Okay I’m having an issue generating power charges I have a freeze build with ice strikes and I cannot seem to generate the charge on freeze combat frenzy is on as well as resonance it just won’t make a charge idk why any tips
You have to build your full character and skills in mobalytics then come post it in the discord poe 2 help channel and we can take a look at what your doing wrong or what’s breaking
By the way ,does combat frenzy counts per instance of freeze shock or pin, meaning if my character freezes shocks and pins i can gin up to 3 charges at once or it counts all of them at ince meaning regardless if u froze shocked or pinned an enemy at the same time i will get only 1 charge
Make sure you have a 100 spirit from the campaign! Then you just need to do the math on your armour to see how short you are. I believe I had a 900 evasion 300+ es chest when I hit 200+ don’t quote me on my old chest id need to look on the videos
Cause the skill your using is generating power charges and converting to endurance. You can’t use siphoning strike to generate or the palm that culls. Any skill that naturally creates them gets converted you have to use a different skill
@@Travic_ thats the thing tho, i dont use siphoning strike and the palm, im using storm wave to generate shock on them and it still sucks tho. And im 47ish lvl unable to use herald of ice, thunder aaand combat frenzy at the same time .. for now.. and if i get call of the brotherhood will be good aswell, but for now its sucks :D
I gotta ask what the point of having that many power charges since you only need max of 3 for charge staff unless I’m mistaken. I also seem to always have at least 3 ready for a full powered charged staff and I can only have a max of 4 charges
Im still playing with lightning on my monk and aiming to generate more power charges quickly to reach my cap of 5. I continue to use killing palm and syphon strike on the regular. Yesterday I leveled up and was finally able to reach ‘resonance’ on the talent tree and pair it with the combat frenzy ability. The issue that I ran into was that by having enough spirit to be running the passives, I wouldnt generate ANY charges. I tried it on a few mobs, logged off and logged back in but for some reason having that passive with ‘resonance’ appeared to remove the charges completely. I would see a new buff added at the top of the screen(redish in color and only cap at 3). With the talents Ive chose so far I can reach 5 power charges usually. Any idea what Im doing incorrectly?
@ thank you for the reply. So in this video (for example) they generate more charges from resonance because they freeze so quickly? Any recommendations for me how to electrocute more or faster off hand?
@ most of the time no, but sometimes (barely). I was told i need higher dmg to be able to freeze but idk how to do that. Currently in act 3 in the middle of the campaign if that helps. Sorry im very new to this
I have been wanting to test cast on shock with the skill that consumed shock to give a power charge. Think ggg needs to look at the ways monk can gain charges because currently the one or 2 skills we have without resonance are absolute ass so we are pretty much forced to use resonance
Same, although I use shattering palm first time then hit with shockwave then I always get my power charges. Plus it’s nice to see everything blowup lol
Hello, I use your build from exactly right now, I buy the brotherhood ring, I buy the unique boots, but stil need some levels. I'm ascendancy III, maybe some betters item in the future. Very very beautiful build men. Hope you will always improve this build and don't give up on us 😂 I didn't play poe1 and vids. like this is all we need. Tyvm GL & HF.
Seems legit for builds where you just charge your staff, bit when you have another spender like flicker it seems to give much less in quantity of charges
there are lightning builds that can generate max charges quickly (i think it was 7). Cap power charge, use charge staff, cap your charges again, spend it on falling thunder, repeat, before your 1st charge staff buff ends.
Would have loved to see multiple ways to gain power charges showcased and their pros and cons. Would have also loved to see multiple ways to spend power charges showcased and analyzed. As it stands- this is just 5 minute explanation of Combat Frenzy and Resonance and not much else.
Correct this is for what I’ve been doing and why it’s relevant I would need to fully respec for other forms of charges cause freeze shatters so I can’t do the corpse tech only resonance
Palm, siphoning strike and ritual spell from occultist gem tree, the ritual one I found most reliable and least annoying to play with before I swapped to freeze build
Nice vid I got a nice quarterstaff last night increases all my attack gems by 4 levels my dos went from 1.8k dps to 3.4k dps now still need to slot my 2 gems as well. I level 61 atm my tempest flurry us lv 18 now.
Power charges convert to endurance charges so if your using siphoning strike or the palm skill that naturally generates them they become endurance so you can’t use those with this
Skills that naturally generate power charges will be converted to endurance. So your siphoning strike will make endurance charges. You have to use a non naturally power charge skill
@Travic_ Well when I use Resonance + Combat Frenzy, I should gain Frenzy Charges, which convert to Power Charges each time I Electrocute or Shock an enemy, right? Because I’m not getting anything when I Electrocute enemies with Herald of Thunder or Tempest Flurry. What would you suggest me to use ?
@ if you can re-create your character in mobalytics and put all your stuff in and then join the discord and post them to Help section we might be able to take a look at it and fix it because without that information I can’t really do a whole lot
"How to generate power charge?" Just read the spirit skills and read the medium/large/important perks in the passive tree near monk starter perks. People are so lazy today that need a 5 minute video to save you reading time.
I am so torn between frenzy charge thing vs just using the consume shock and cull abilities to streamline power charge gen. I feel like everybody needlessly puts this combat frenzy method, while the other option gives you more potential power on the skill tree, frees up skill slots
As a new player I love seeing these different mechanics and avenues explained, thank you. As you probably know there's a node in the quarterstaff cluster that adds +1 power charge every time you use a spender as well.
Yup! I use that in a lot of videos too
Thanks for this travic. i love how you are explaining everything in detail for the new players like myself
Doing my best brother! You are welcome
My goodness...FINALLY someone took the time to explain this. Thanks goodness.
People are still confused :(
My new favourite TH-camr! Thanks for the info
Thank you!!!
Yeah, I was confused as a new player. i just got lvl 9 gem to unlock charged staff and welp,I can't use that skill until later in the game. Great information, and thank you. This helps a lot to understand as im still learning.
Thank you!! This was needed for my build !!
You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Can you use any level of uncut spirit gem to generate a “combat frenzy” gem, or does it specifically need a level 2 uncut spirit gem? If it does, where can I find a level 2 uncut spirit gem?
You would need to check the level requirements but you get it pretty early
Needs to be a level 2 and they only start dropping in early act 3 as far as I’m aware. I’ve never known one to drop in act 2 normal mode.
@@Mandelad. do these just drop randomly or is there a way to do a targeted farm on the level 2 uncut spirit gems
Also can't find any of these. At the last boss in act 2 and just having lots of trouble
Quality is the reason I'm leveling a Gemling for Flicker Blade
77% chance to not use charges while blasting with Flicker is insane
Flicker strike in general is pretty mid in PoE2 unfortunately
I switched to raxxs ice strike monk build that's very similar to yours. Is there any benefit to taking power charge nodes for raw charge staff power and possibly using flicker or falling over crit chance/damage nodes?
Im not sure what raxx did. I take all the power charge nodes in all my videos but I cant play flicker it makes me sick to my stomach
I’m not quite through act three on cruel. My damage is spectacular, but I am super squishy… dying to trash mob packs more than bosses at this point. What is the best defense stats for your gear? Evasion and shield? I will probably have to trade for a few pieces. It seems like the things that are killing me are more physical damage, even though my resistances are at about 30 to 60%.
Have you taken the node on the Ascendancy tree .....and Protect me from Harm? Its gives Physical damage reduction but it also lowers evasion
@ I will reassign. Thanks
You can use the Serpent's Egg unique amulet for a guaranteed extra charge whenever you build one. So for a simple hit to build your initial charge you're always building at least 2 to get things going. It also gives mana regen AND chaos resistance. I'm never taking it out of my build.
Is lightning monk just not viable in the endgame? Im loving the lightning build you made. Still in act 2 and waiting for charged staff to really complete the build. Ice and snow really that much better?

They can be very viable you just need to use hybrid damage
If you want to use this charge generation trick using lighting skills you can either use Call of the brotherhood ring, three dragons helm or Kitoko gloves
Lightning I believe does slightly more damage, but Freeze gives you a ton of defences by freezing everything around you before it can attack you. Late game lightning is just dying over and over, you will have problem with finishing any T14+ map if not before.
TYTY i've switched to this build and it has rocked.
Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllll yeah
I am not that far for now, but could build this besides of the ice damage. So im generating power charges with frenzy/electrocute which works well as long as there are enemys. But i cant generate them on bosses. Any tipps to get powercharges without many mobs/on bosses?
Have you considered hateforge + charge infusion?
I’ll have to look up the new hateforge gloves
Can i ask is there a chance to change out the boots? As movespeed in end game hurts a lot. And can i ask do you get 1 shot by mobs in end game map? I am lv 75 with 76 %evasion still got killed in 1 shot i followed your build ,how to sustain better and do u think adding one unset ring with one more skill add more variations?

Thats the beauty of path of exile. You find gear that suits your needs! If you can find an unset ring with the stats you need you should do it
Very interesting, can i get a link to the passive tree now that CI is allocated? Also gear? Ive been thinking to do this also.
do you have a maxroll for the build? thanks
can i get both charge staff and charge infusion since both eat power charges? is that setup viable do you think?
You can you just need to level charge infusion and give it quality so it consume charges less fast

Or is there a drop off? I guess I would need to recalibrate my passive skill to focus on cold damage rather than lightning?
Yup it should full 1 to 1 convert. I swap to storm wave in tomorrow video :o. But yes your lightning passives will do nothing now you would need cold
@@Travic_ Yeah for me, storm wave does almost double the damage of ice break or tempest, and its ranged which means i'm not even touched. Only downside is it doesnt generate charges
@@andyeban Ya the only time the damage falls off is super juicer bosses but you can always swap for that

Only one can double to 2 every 5 seconds
Great job! Could you please update last mobalitics build for ES.
When it is done I will, what you see currently is what I ma testing and not finished
How did you get those 201 spirits? I can't get that amount and I have ev:844 and es:322 armor.
Make sure you have a 100 spirit from the campaign! Then you just need to do the math on your armour to see how short you are. I believe I had a 900 evasion 300+ es chest when I hit 200+ don’t quote me on my old chest id need to look on the videos
It also work for lightning skills ?
How did you stack so much spirit? Do your gear have extra of them?
Monk ascendancy! And my body armour has an insane amount of spirit
Soooooo, why im getting endurance charges while i electrolute/shock enemy ?
Cause the skill your using is generating power charges and converting to endurance. You can’t use siphoning strike to generate or the palm that culls. Any skill that naturally creates them gets converted you have to use a different skill
@@Travic_ thats the thing tho, i dont use siphoning strike and the palm, im using storm wave to generate shock on them and it still sucks tho.

You can get a ton of charges and there’s plenty of skills that spend the charges. More charges is more damage as well
ohhhh okay. I was unaware that just having the power charges gives you some sort of damage benefit. Thanks! That’s good to know.
Bro i look ur Build in Mobylatics but there wasno Herold of Lightning? How do u trigger them ?
Trigger what I’m not using herald in pure cold and trigger from freeze

Welcome!
Build possible without that ring?
what gems u got on ur hearld of thunder ?
Video about the ci swap coming soon! Finishing it up now

This wasn’t a build guide video. The planner and video for the ci swap is coming in a few hours
@ noice. Thanks for the tip on how to generate charges. Just yesterday needed that advice
@ yet it’s so expensive to respec… any ideas on money farm?
I have been wanting to test cast on shock with the skill that consumed shock to give a power charge. Think ggg needs to look at the ways monk can gain charges because currently the one or 2 skills we have without resonance are absolute ass so we are pretty much forced to use resonance
They announced last night “lesser performing quarter staff skills will be buffed” so we’ll see what happens
I cleared T15 with (4Pts Asc. / lvl77) pure crit lighting&freezing invoker 👌🔥
What were you using for freeze

i have 60 spirits and can´t use combat frenzy and herald of ice because combat frenzy uses 40 spirt. someone knows why?
You have a support gem in the combat frenzy
Seems legit for builds where you just charge your staff, bit when you have another spender like flicker it seems to give much less in quantity of charges
You would need to generate more charges with other avenues thats why this is centered around charge staff

Congrats! Keep on trucking.
corrupted Dragon peak expert wicker tiara grants another + 1 to maximum power charges, so you can have a total of 9!
now i have resonance aswell. But i still just get endurance charges for some reason....
Power charges convert to endurance charges so if your using siphoning strike or the palm skill that naturally generates them they become endurance so you can’t use those with this
@@Travic_ im not using either the palm or siphoning. But it still only generates endurance
Instructions unclear i gain endurance charges now ...

"How to generate power charge?"
Just read the spirit skills and read the medium/large/important perks in the passive tree near monk starter perks.
People are so lazy today that need a 5 minute video to save you reading time.
It’s a pretty complicated game. Less people are lazy and more people just don’t know cause the interaction is pretty confusing
new patch notes are nerfing freeze a bit
Everything will be dead before we need multiple freezes we will be fine. We also freeze the bell during bosses so we generate charges easily
we need fire monk! somehow lol
That would be so cool
LFG!
Im charging you for that hehe
Easy when you are max lvl
MMMMMMMMMMMMonk
🍌
Banana
can i get ur tree, pls! my idol
Video is almost ready keep notifications on! Should be soon
Not useful against bosses
You can freeze your bell and get charges in boss fights :)
I am so torn between frenzy charge thing vs just using the consume shock and cull abilities to streamline power charge gen. I feel like everybody needlessly puts this combat frenzy method, while the other option gives you more potential power on the skill tree, frees up skill slots
Finally, I get it.🧊
Dump the witch and play a monk.
