Here's a tip for monk players to earn free power charges without having to manually use killing palm every time to gain a charge. Because later on it can be really harmful by repositioning yourself in a place you dont want to be and you end up dying. And monks are pretty squishy until later on so positioning is pretty important. Also using killing palm is a very slow and tedious method of gaining power charges So you only need to be around level 26 for it to work. And make sure you have at least 30 spirit free. But it requires you to use ice strike / tempest flurry as your primary attack for it to work effectively. There's a persistent buff skill called combat frenzy. I has a 30 spirit requirement. Basically it grants you a frenzy charge each time you freeze, electrocute or pin an enemy. Then there is a notable skill in the passive skill tree called 'Resonance' - and it's fairly easy to reach if you're a monk. What resonance does is convert Frenzy charges to Power Charges. So each time you freeze or electrocute - which is practically once every attack rotation if you've added the right support gems - you get a free power charge! Personally I prefer using ice strike for the cc. And it also works really well with shattering palm and herald of ice. The best skill IMO to use your power charges is Charged Staff. So this is how my rotation goes: Shattering palm (initiator / gap close) > ice strike > gain charges > charged staff > ice strike > gain more charges > maintain charged staff uptime > repeat. You're extremely fast and mobile and most monsters are dead before they can even hit you. And bosses simply melt with the bell.. Only issue is mana regen. So you might want to look for mana regen / mana leech / gain mana on kill mods if you want maintain the constant mobility and uptime.. Hope someone finds his useful
Tempest bell is a total boss and mob killer if you get ruthless and martial tempo on it and then apply statuses to it using a frost or lightning (or both) strike skill. Really one of the best concentrated DPS skills for monk. Combine with an anti-stun charm and you can chop of 25% of boss health bars in one bell cast. FWIW, ice strike doesn't build the combo for the bell but tempest flurry does. I use both on my frost monk bc now and then something will be frost resistant.
Damn I guess I'm one of the few that's used a staff the whole time. Doing ssf I'm lvl 61, super glass cannon tbh but I immediately freeze basically everything including bosses, I am at 149 deaths tho 😅 almost to act 3 on cruel
Combat frenzy, charged staff, ice strike, herald of ice. Teleport to your enemies immediately freezing and shattering them. Yeah it gets pretty crazy lol
Early levels (15-20) Tempest Bell and Shattering Palm. Either use Tempest bell or other skills to build up stun. Hit 'em with a Shattering Palm for Heavy Stun. Throw down the Bell and absolutely pwn bosses. I think it's even more effective if you're using the flurry skills on the bell vs. the simple staff strike.
everything you begin with is so wrong...this is not D4 , there are no monk skills/ or specific attribute classes ( yes you have an ez time with the class going for some specific builds, but definetly not have to...) please stop making d4 videos with poe2 tag -_-
this game is a huge step backwards. Lets just take the Temporalis chase unique body armour. this is basically the PoE default experience but in a chase unique item, this is a step backwards. They went out of their way to remove item quant and rarity from the game just to make it super powerful here, this is a step backwards. This game also does nothing to fix existing problems. They continue to be allergic to build diversity, there is no loot fitler customization in game, no build customizer or ACCURATE skill damage screen. Its all just like the first game but not as good. Ok rant over, trash game. PoE 3 will fix things guys! 😂😂😂

Bro you changed my life. I like power charges but getting it is tedious, this changes that ty.
This is great advice gonna try to do this tonight !!
tough part is you need a lvl 8 spirit gem. so gotta farm for it

I have the same setup and I agree 100%
I've played all the classes now and to my surprise monk has been the one to make the game feel like easy mode
I died to the first monster in the game the bloated guy 5 times…
Merry Christmas dude. Nice video.
My monk uses a crossbow😂
Mine did too 🤣. Switch to regular bow once you get one that’s better than your crossbow, you won’t regret it
Mine using a bow 🤣
Mine too
Damn I guess I'm one of the few that's used a staff the whole time. Doing ssf I'm lvl 61, super glass cannon tbh but I immediately freeze basically everything including bosses, I am at 149 deaths tho 😅 almost to act 3 on cruel
Thanks for the video
the bell skill was not mentioned an that skill works great for bosses
not really
Finally! The Fun class
Happy Holidays and thx for the vid
The quarterstaff monk has the most fun gameplay. When you finally unlock combat frenzy with the ice strike skill shit gets insane.
Combat frenzy, charged staff, ice strike, herald of ice. Teleport to your enemies immediately freezing and shattering them. Yeah it gets pretty crazy lol
Merry Christmas FextraLife !

U need only 4 things Bell, ice strike, herald of thunder/herald of Ice.
Monk was the first character I made as a new PoE player. I lasted 7 levels and then made a merc instead 😅
Ill deff be back though
Real lmfao me too
Great video, thanks. Small suggestion, you might want to turn off world chat. Some questionable content can get injected into your video otherwise.
The seriousness and professional explanations of the Monk's mechanics are somewhat undercut by the chats about femboys and sexy women at 06:30 😂
LOL
i just want to play pure pysical monk but people say its not good end game
Try the Duelist when it comes out if you want a pure Dexterity Fighter.
I think you rushed this one a bit. Skipping the bell is a miss, also no mention of ascendency class.
Mf can i play with my fists as a monk in this game?
There are some skills that are unarmed, but you can't rely on them alone. You need a staff.
wait... no bell?!?! really now....

MONK EEEEEEEE
Worst starting class in EA by a far. The monk is so weak that some streamers recommend starting him out as a ranger.
Yes because the good monk skills come by level 25-30. But once the monk is setup it's easily one of the best and most fun classes to play
Im not bothering untill they do full game release
So why comment on this?
Or watch it for that matter lol
