Im sure people are shouting it at you but there is a spirit skill called combat frenzy it gives you a frenzy charges when you shock/ignite/freeze that with" resonance" on the passive tree which turns frenzys into power charges makes it INSANELY more comfortable to get charged statf.
@@Felixuwuowo I think it's 6? but thats shorter than charged staff's duration and the support that gives a chance to gain extra charge works well. It's 100% up time as long as you can reliably freeze
Profane ritual and Siphon strike best way to get power charges also that passive node does allow you to consume extra charges my charged staff has an uptime of about 35 seconds
I had the same mind. I was 100% sure to pick acolyte. But I am struggling very hard to make use of his ascendencies. He feels extremely dumb to build. The whole skill tree seems to be laid out for invoker, there is very very little room for acolyte build. You are forced to go elemental damage, basically you become a hybrid acolyte. That really sucks and is sad for me. I refunded so many passive skillpoints to make chaos monk somehow work. I also tried to to expand the duration of flames of chuyala buffs by picking increased skill duration but it doesn't do anything, it stays on the 10 seconds duration...I swear, I am regretting that I picked Acolyte. I want to edit, that after testing and trying to keep the flames of chayula rolling, it just doesn't work. Even with Mantra of Destruction it is completely impossible to keep the stacks. And as said, you cannot expand the duration of it by the skill tree for some unexplainable reason. It is honestly kind of taking the fun away for me.
@@thebiglebowski6965 I'm going to be putting out a couple more videos later this week most likely one maybe even two tonight. I am making another acolyte because of how messed up the tree on this character has become. I put my poe 1 dented brain to work over the last couple days. I think into the breach needs a pretty big buff I'd like if the flames auto absorb or move towards you while within the breach radius. It would play into his fantasy of being an acolyte imo.
@@ExiledVessel They just have to make the buff duration expandable. So that after you put some points into skill effect duration, the buff could reach maybe 15-20 seconds. And Mantra of Destruction needs to be adjusted heavily. It is utterly useless. If that skill would actually deal damage and be able to execute you could hold the buff duration and the build would be playable. You could farm for money and refund the skill points. I think it would actually take less time than starting a new monk. Except you want to go for new skills and new gear aswell. I am considering the same.
Invoker is sick but you got me wanting to make another toon and try a Chayula build… you may be onto something with the phys dmg. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store these next few weeks. Keep at it 🤙🏻
The issue is there is no decent phys skill in the game. Everything is 60%-100% converted. That’s why CHONK is ranked F tier. All the nodes are just meh and too conditional.

Darkness just protects your life/es, so you lose it instead of life/es. It's like a barrier between mobs and getting one shot. You're sacrificing your spirit for basically flat life that is situational.
The extra power charge for charge staff does work but doesnt give more than max power charges. If you consume 1 u get 2
@@MrLorenzo808 yes I have realized this after changing my build with electrocute stuff to generate power charges.

Sadly it doesn't work with shock, but electrocute... that's why I am not using it atm.
@y_rnd you're right! It's freeze but freeze can typically be applied with shattering palm
isn't it once every 5 seconds or something? on combat frenzy

What do you think is the best usage of Mantra of Destruction? Like when to use its vs not.
You need a single ability that can kill a large amount of mobs else it does nothing. It's a much worse version of Unbound Avatar.
@@ExiledVessel So basically use it before Storm Wave? Thanks
@@Zaby1775 Maybe Flickering Strike?
You should always Mantra of Destruction + Falling Thunder to get massive Chayula Flames

If you play lightning, how do you deal chaos damage? Isn't it better to play invoker? I'm a new player looking for a new build, so I'm just wondering.
yep invoker is the better ascendancy
The ascendancy says "gain %of damage from hits as chaos", so lightning works.
@@y_rnd lighting is chaos damage?
How does lighting work? It's elemental damage, not chaos damage. Would you explain me more, or I'll misunderstand.
