You’re a stud for these videos, please keep it coming I’m working through the 1.0 now and will shift to this or whatever is in the future when I get to maps
What's your understanding, or your experience, with leveraging poison skills for the chaos aspect of chayula monk? I'm in Act III of normal difficulty now trying to figure out how to make this ascendancy work. I'm basically an elemental monk who picks up flames as I go from Into the Breach. 😕
The only poison skills we have is the ranger ranged attacks. I wish we had melee poison skills but that nay come with the Shadow. I did add poison to my glacial cascade and the plague explode on death via support gems and it does work
Yea, I think it will receive a overall nerf per level as @irlinaka2754 mentioned but less at lower levels. Also, this empowers our totem to fire additional projectiles so it's still a damage boost. ALSO, vine arrow has been really nice to setup with totems before we start a mechanic like essence mob or breach.
The equipment section shows the new items I purchased just to try the build. It requires a good amount of Dex but once we get high end gear, stats will be easy. You can use a lower level bow/gem to reduce dex requirement. The dot will still help your totem damage output.
I honestly dont get it. Last time on your vid I thought you play ed contagion, but now I see the totem from last time and explosions that look like impending doom. So you were using ed contagion as support gems from the start?? Thats actually what I recommended cuz chayula gets dmg bonuses for hits only, not dots. Im even more confused now,it looks like you genuinely socket supports into ed contagion. Ig chaos nodes are too strong and support both dot and hits at the same time and ur fine??
Each ability synergizes with each other. Always had the Impending Doom. New patch also just buffed Chaos dot damage by roughly 30% more at higher level gems. Big wins. Tier 13/14 maps today and was super smooth after we got a good shield. 👍 This was pre patch buff. Tomorrow going to be awesome!
@ImJustAnthonyTube I understand the synergy...but dots getting buffed means nothing if you scale hit dps via acolyte. Damage as extra chaos only boosts the totem and the hit portion of ED ( which is irrelevant ) Your ED contagion combo is just a clear tool and totem enabler ( bcz it needs dot debuffs on enemies in order to shoot) My only explanation of why your build works for now is bcz base dps of dot skills might be way higher than in poe1. So %chaos from tree is enough and you don't need damage over time multiplier or other dot specific mods. But this is speculation. In poe1 playing a dot + hit build is unplayable unless you are poison. That's also the reason why ggg decided to buff Ed contagion in poe2, you are supposed to play those skills alone without any totems or hits involved. Your build seems like a weird combo that happens to deal damage, but there is no clear path to success. I will try it as well, but my poe1 dot main brain can't take it 😅
it's funny I found your channel right when I was building almost this exact build for acolyte Monk. I'm working with something similar but I'm trying out other options besides Vine arrow
We have buffs coming in the next patch?! Yes please! 😎 Skill Tree - maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/al1ud00b

What if you swap Arcane Tempo and Concentrated Effect for Corrosion with Comorbidity on Dark Effigy
What do you think about taking Mind over Matter with this build?
isnt vine arrow getting nerfed?
They nerfing gem lvl stacking portion of skill. There is build that juice up 40 lvl vine arrow, that do millions of dps

Might try this lighting invoker looks like it will get boring once built...I haven't ascendant yet so this seem fun keep it up

We need as many disciples of Chayula as we can get. 🙃
