No they're not, they're perfectly balanced and a bit underwhelming, there is nothing notable about them or the electrocute proc, I am not chain cc'ing bosses into death with my galvanic arrow. They also come with a massive downside of -10--15 % reduced AS game is basically unplayable with them
When playing my ALT Ranger and leveling up I saw they had a electrocute shot that jumps over the enemy and essentially does this. Nice that this exists I can throw it on a more frequent attack now. Thanks for the vid.
2 points: - if my main DPS is tempest flurry with charged staff, would you recommend electrocute/neural over Close Combat and Primal Armament? Also I too am Mana starved when spamming Flurry.. I just chug Mana Potions bc I only have 3 link (Marital Tempo is other). - I’d LOVE it if you did a little recorded convo with NV’s Mathilication who is also running Monk. Either podcast or recorded Twitch. Every monk player on the planet would salivate over that content, from levelling to mid game to what you’re doing end game.
I'll have to look into him, but to answer your question, just run Inspiration support if it's that big of a problem. I put Primal Armament on Charged Staff and close combat on Flicker Strike.
You can also use a lower level Tempest Flurry until you solve your mana issues. Or you can make use of Leech mods or passives on tree, but they won't be noticeable until you have high rolls of Physical dmg on your quarterstaff (since Tempest Flurry converts 60% of weapon phys to lightning).
Devestation is a very strong and cheap option, as virtually all of the Monk's abilities have the AoE tag. I'd definitely take that if I had no jewels with %increased AoE yet. Otherwise, at the higher-end some of the bigger Evasion notables like High Alert or Freedom of Movement. I'm all ears for other options but most of the good ones are extremely expensive.
6:50 so what's the ideal weapon if you want lightning damage as well ? can we use other part of the gear to add lightning damage or it doesn't work that way?, since previously you said that it's okay to sacrifice some physical damage for cold damage increase, if that the case the best staff is the one with elemental damage ?
I really liked your build and I watch each of your videos and follow step by step as you did in the company while learning. I have already finished 6 acts and wanted to ask at what level did you move to full cast on freeze with flicker strike?
I'd stay tuned for Milky_bk's leveling guide. He's working on something with Maxroll. Should be out any time. Just use basic attack or Glacial Cascade early into Ice Strike or Tempest Flurry with Bell.
@ tempest rush and the bell you have by the end of act 1 initially. That’s the build’s foundation. Most people praised ice strike instead of tempest rush cause it dashes and freezes despite being a bit slower. Charged staff comes in later act 3 I think. If you combine those three skills you do lots of damage. Also, you can pick up reaper or elemental invocation in act 3. So I’d say beginning act 4 it’s pretty much online. Flicker strike is later on early maps.
@@snoobae8553 thanks for this insight. Hoping you could also provide a content on how to effectively rush the campaign with this setup. Also, since you've explored both lightning and ice build, what are your thoughts comparing the 2 builds? (this could also be another video content you can do but I'd appreciate an early response! 😁)
@@snoobae8553 So I reached level 52 and can get flicker strike but i only have 60 spirit. Is this build only viable after I beat cruel, which would be around lvl 70 or when I get enough spirit?
Thank you for sharing the video! I’d like to set up a build similar to yours. I have a few questions. Does flat cold damage on weapons play an important role? (Is it for freezing?)
@@snoobae8553 Thank you very much, Snoob! How about boss fights? I’m wondering if Power Charges will work well in those situations since they don’t seem to activate during single-target encounters. (only for Profane Ritual? or SIPHON Strike?) Would that be an issue? Sorry, my English is not very good
I’m not at my pc, but IIRC electrocute was not listed under the elemental ailment tooltip on the passive tree so I’m not sure specing into ailment duration would affect electrocute. Can anyone confirm or deny?
Do you think crit is good to with or do you think focusing on elemental ailment stuff is better. Thinking about the crit ascendancy it's like you have to do full crit or not really focus it at all. Thanks, great content.
Well, I think crit is better but only if you have good enough gear to support it. Need ele res cap for sure and probably at least one crit roll on the weapon.
Thoughts on using Gathering Storm? I was thinking about making that my travel skill that can clear, shock and freeze. For bossing, I'm using Falling Thunder but if I don't have charges I can fall back to Tempest Flurry and Tempest Bell.
i put these on my lightning rod, it helps clearing rares a lot. for bosses i just use eletrocuting arrow to eletrocute them with LS + TS then i burst dps and they die right after lol
Just a quick question regarding attack speed, do I need to have a lot of attack speed to be able to get this build running smoothly I only have like 15% on gloves and none on my weapon.
@@snoobae8553 Thx. The one you did back in the day with the PF I thought was the best. Also, wanted to ask - after reviewing your maxroll planner, how are you not having mana issues?
Hi, so how many dodge do you actually need to able to hold two cof? i got a 1,7k armor and still at 210 spirit, or is there a more beginner friendly build where one cof would be enough? thanks
Would be nice if you showed us more of the build in it's current state. You went MIA for a few days and right when they nerfed cast on shock. So I've got no idea what you're even doing now. How about a build update video next please? I'm probably not running maps as high as you are yet, but I haven't even had to worry about power charges. I'm one shotting everything and then unloading on bosses with Unbound Avatar. I can't even remember the last time I needed to use the bell. Between the tree and all the skill gems, power charges seem like more trouble than they're worth
As far as I can tell it doesn’t. But I haven’t done a whole lot of testing. Of course, dropping more rares does mean you get more shards from disenchanting. Which (from my testing) is worth it during campaign
@@arseniiartamonov6883 okay, cause the research ive done said it affects the rarity of items like rares and uniques and currency is not in that category
@@wisconsincrhunter5614 check empyrian, their results show how it influences currency drop. But idk what is threshold for solo player for noticeable changes in drop
Perhaps but both skills do a lot of lightning. Charged staff is a better damage dealer so it sucks to lose 40% of DPS on that one. Oh, and charged staff is majorly responsible for freezing and killing mobs. I even put Ice Bite on it.
I only have 1 greater jeweler orb. Should I prioritize it on tempest flurry to get the electrocute over charged staff for more damage? I just started maps.
@@snoobae8553 that might be what I'm already doing. Unbound Avatar + elemental discharge for bosses. Solar Orb is getting my ignite for me, HoT for shock, and discharging with Ice Comet. I changed my main skills Ice Strike and darting around with Shattering Palm...haven't had to worry about power charges at all up to T10 so far. Sometimes I use the bell on bosses, but for the most part it's 2 buttons. I had to add more mana cost reduction, Enhanced Reflexes and Beastial Skin, which Snoo doesn't have in his original setup.
freeze doesnt seem to have a drawback..giving up 40% of damage just to trigger electrocute seems super dumb especially with how slow it is gaining each charge
Well I think the idea is that Lightning damage already gets shock, so now it gets a bonus ailment that's also super powerful. Freeze gets chill, which is strong but not as strong as shock.
Ur build is overcomplicated just to be worse than a regular ice strike build. DPS, CC & defence... Even ur clear speed with flicker strike still up for debate compared to ice strike with enough attack speed. 😶
idk man but i kind of start to feel bored of playinng poe 2 comapre with poe 1, I think it's because poe 2 dont have that much build expension I think, in poe 2 doing maps and farming feel like nothing at all, like totally pointless
it hurts me to see this , u are completely playing it all wrong , try storm wawe+polcirceln ring. and for some reason u have 0 dmg, I have 120k in tooltip on my storm wave lol weapon stat "to crit multiplayer" is very important. also consider using howa gloves.

Electrocute gloves are completely busted. Can even electrocute bosses more than once

@@TheAkSlyKitokos
The 15-10% reduced attack speed is incredibly punishing, and the base stats of the item are worse than most normal campaign items.
It would be better to nerf/balance electrocute and freeze duration or threshold of the monsters at one point.
Thx so much for the content, very useful and well explained.
I started using the gloves with my Galvanic Shards build, and it is now my primary defensive layer.
if youre glove slot isnt a hard slot than you can use kitokos for way more consistent electrocute AND now take the 40% damage loss.
When playing my ALT Ranger and leveling up I saw they had a electrocute shot that jumps over the enemy and essentially does this. Nice that this exists I can throw it on a more frequent attack now. Thanks for the vid.

Hey Snoo, does the ascendency "lead me through Grace" not increase spirit with Beastial skin passive node? Not sure if this is just a bug.
Love this build but I wonder what are some good options for anoints. Any recommendations?
Devestation is a very strong and cheap option, as virtually all of the Monk's abilities have the AoE tag. I'd definitely take that if I had no jewels with %increased AoE yet. Otherwise, at the higher-end some of the bigger Evasion notables like High Alert or Freedom of Movement. I'm all ears for other options but most of the good ones are extremely expensive.
This is nice on storm wave with upheaval.

Yeah, you can do that. But in the case of Charged Staff, it converts the majority of physical to lightning anyway.
I really liked your build and I watch each of your videos and follow step by step as you did in the company while learning. I have already finished 6 acts and wanted to ask at what level did you move to full cast on freeze with flicker strike?

Can we have an updated version of the build?
There aren’t many changes, but a few yes. Very busy but I’ll get to it tomorrow.
Can you please tell me how you have so much spirit? I'm desperately looking for increase my spirit to use passive skills
Hey Snoo, thanks for the build! What level do you recommend starting this build? Do you have a leveling guide?
I'd stay tuned for Milky_bk's leveling guide. He's working on something with Maxroll. Should be out any time. Just use basic attack or Glacial Cascade early into Ice Strike or Tempest Flurry with Bell.
At what part does this build gets online? Start of A1C? End of A3C? Or you still have to farm in maps several times before getting this partially on?

Nice gem, not sure were i would be able to put it on a deadeye though.. the 40% downside is making it hard

For sure, but you don't just one shot everything. Breach in Delirium is still rough for me.
build looks awesome but i still dnt know where u get the charges when u fight bosses
Yeah, I go into boss rooms with power charges. Else can shock boss and reap charge from Siphon Strike.
How did you get so many gem slots? I’m in t3 maps and I feel like It’d be so much easier if I had 4 slots instead of 3 on a few of my skill gems
It's a 1 in 4 to hit if you vaal your gems

No, freeze should be coming from charged staff mostly

How you dont lose mana when spamming tempest? i run out in a few seconds.
I got like 100 mana per second in regen. Maybe you're attacking faster too.
thx for share, sounds like very good on charge staff and use storm wave to get big aoe and get critical ball, that right?
