I was struggling to make any build with this ascendancy. I got by basically doing invoker builds I respeced yesterday into this, never looking back. My items are not even close to be optimal and this build slaps.
I might save up enough gold and total respec my cookie cutter melee monk. So disappointed that there is no real viable chaos melee. This could be a good case study for embrace the darkness to see if all that extra chaos stacks with it's chaos bonuses. Could negate the lack of buffs from spirit gems and spaghetti node downsides.
hey, great video, i've noticed those boots very broken as well, but just starting out with maps with my sorc, this is inspiring because originally i saw this on blood mage, but nice to see other classes use it, probably I can pivot as well into this. could you explain what you meant about the archmage and the eternal geist?
There is a tankier setup with less damage that focuses on mana stacking with a combo of Eternity Gaze + Eldritch Battery + Midnight Braid. I have updated my build to that but have not been able to make a new video yet
hi just want to say there is another support gem that increase AoE of curses , i forgot the name but you will find it, you can socket it into blasphemy dont really understand why you pick chayula though, it doesnt seem that good, but maybe im wrong
Well, I was expecting something like a Dark Monk using his staff as a conductor of some sort of dark power or his bare hands and such. Since we don't have it, I'm happy with a male mage. Fuck gender lock and this seems pretty viable and fun! I'll try it for sure! 😍🥰 One question: I noticed that in your planner you suggest going pure energy shield for the first 43 skill points, leaving behind some chaos damage nodes during progression. Is it right? Congrats for coming up with this build and thank you for offering something different. I saw some monks going bow, but doesn't seem that much fun as being a male "curser" lol! Edit: kinda funny to read you video description: "kinda mid"... Man, if this is mid, than my standards must be pretty low. I found your build awesome! 😝
@@vuminhdang5724 im not rly happy with the '' light sabre stable monk / ice strike / i was testing and its good but idk i rly wanna try out acolyte! cause its just something diffrent! , btw how tha fuck u got 2 sockets on ur boots?
@vuminhdang5724 im level 73 and made my variant off your build. but as we look ahead what nodes are you thinking for extra damage. i was looking at nodes to the left a little "spiral into insanity" looks promising. or in the very right, we have dark entries. but that's a lot of points to get down there. im not near that side anymor3 since I stopped using quarterstaffs
@@juanamaral1570 Spiral Into Insanity can be very nice if you're missing damage, but at this point I was trying to focus more on tankiness rather than more damage
Please, one small feedback, keep your cursor in place. I'm Super inspired In what you've created but can't read a thing because of you moving cursor so chaotic. Thanks for your video.
@@killzonixamvs4647 hexblast is the only way you can damage bosses so you are dependent on that. Its not as impressive but if youre scaling cast speed, chaos damage, skill levels, use your wither, off hand sigil of power, it does get there
@@SF_Savitar Yeah, you could get the instant mana leech and it does help somewhat but there's not a big focus on getting it. However, I have plans to swap to a tankier setup using Eternity Gaze + Eldritch Battery + Midnight Braid, and that will require all 4 labs
Nice for you. But I am strictly against Monk using a Wand. I want him to be a Melee Chaos Damage dealer. I want him to be badass. And a fu***** wand has the opposite effect.
@@lucasbarros822 Yup. Hand on it's own doesn't do enough and there's not enough ways to add consistent chaos to your melee. None of the good damage stacking chaos spells work with hand and poison apparently doesn't scale with chaos damage, only physical from what I can tell. Even worse, the chaos infusion gem halves every damage type, EVEN PHYSICAL, so it's really only viable to use with hand! Maybe I just don't have the knowledge or imagination, but no one else has done it either so...
@@locsmiths I'll try it with no expectative of sucess. You are most prob right. If it works it will demanad big brain / game knowladge that I don't have, but want to see it for myself.
Its definitely not the best against bosses, where you will rely on hexblast for all the damage. I myself was going pure hexblast without Corpsewade up to tier 12 so it is viable as a skill on its own
I took a +10% chaos rres because it helped me cap chaos res in early maps using the ascendancy node "Chayula's Gift". Now it is kind of pointless but it was huge early on
bro,i delete my blood mage 89 lvl, cuz its f bad. you good on maps,when you go on boss your mana is Puff.. so its good for mapping,thats all.. in game we did not have mana leech, regen mana not enough for cast hexblast non stop. cuz when you get on neck + 2 to all,focus +2 to all, weapon + 4 - +5 on chaos damage skills level,its cost 240+ ,even with tree with reduced mana cost.... so for now no offence its fucking bad. look stormweawer, he just spam non stop, damage is ok, and all viable content is ok for him. But hex ... sooooo thats
I personally believe Invoker is the better monk ascendancy right now. This build without the Corpsewade shoes is kinda clunky, and I would probably be struggling around tier 13/14 (good damage but falls over a lot due to getting mobbed). I think the shoes will definitely be nerfed eventually, its just not as well known yet
@@vuminhdang5724 i am rushing through t15 as invoker but the ascendancy has close to 0 variety, i feel like you are way more flexible on acolyte when it comes to builds which is more fun, maybe i gotta level a second monk
Can create build on mobalytics ?
I was struggling to make any build with this ascendancy. I got by basically doing invoker builds I respeced yesterday into this, never looking back. My items are not even close to be optimal and this build slaps.
Respec -> New character or we can swap Ascendancy?
I felt the "where is my curse" struggle.
Cool build, really want to try a mana/int stacking chaos monk build with MoM

dont really understand why you pick chayula though, it doesnt seem that good, but maybe im wrong
maybe for initial wave survivability replace Enfeeble with Temporal Chains? It worked better as defensive curse in poe1.

I’m curious how hard this build is carried by “41% of life” poison…
i just replied to to another video but what level do you think I could transition to this? im in act 5 level 58.
Once you have access to hexblast and blasphemy support, you could try it out. The corpsewade has a low level req so could try using them whenever

What jewels modifiers are the best?
Honestly I am just winging with whatever stats I dropped. Cast Speed, Area of Effect, ES from focus, ES recharge, etc.
@@vuminhdang5724 thx, another question,

where is a lot of your DPS stat coming from. i hae similar gear and level but my DPS is at 20k and yours is at 35k?
Nice for you. But I am strictly against Monk using a Wand. I want him to be a Melee Chaos Damage dealer. I want him to be badass. And a fu***** wand has the opposite effect.
You'll need to drop that mentality for Path of Exile. Your class is nothing more than a vessel of ascendancy points for a build.
I wanted that too, but after several failed attempts I give up. Too much time and gold wasted trying to make chaos melee work.
@@locsmithstrying this currently. Have you found Hand of chayula and other melee skills to just not do the dmg?

@ ooo so hex blast will still work if not with the fart
Good job, hexblast enjoyer here o/
Smooth
inc% chaos damage doesn't work on decompose
I took Hindered capabilities, guess it is cool for this build.
And take some movement speed in tree and annoint, +8% is better the default)
Also I checked double curse in blasphemy. If you put enfeeble first than despair is available on mob|bosses. It helps
did you try the Doom support at all?
Yeah, I have it on my curse always but it doesn't work
@ I’m trying to theorycraft a build that uses it for clearing but I don’t think the damage is gunna hold up at high tier
I wanted to play the exact same thing but with crit and not poison.
Can We start to making that build at lvl 60?
need the update mannnnnnn got some money saved up xD
So this build need ES leech for Spaghettification, right?
what venomdrought did u take?
I took a +10% chaos rres because it helped me cap chaos res in early maps using the ascendancy node "Chayula's Gift". Now it is kind of pointless but it was huge early on
