I really like your content. Multiple videos on the same build and really going the extra mile with like a weapon spreadsheet and DPS breakdown. This is exactly what I am looking for trying to take a build beyond just the basics.
Been using your build after struggling with the 4 other classes I took up to maps, thanks for that. My Ice Strike tool tip only showing about 110k dps (700dps weap, no 5 socket gems, weak jewels), which is definitely adequate to rip thru the content easily. How to get to 300k? giga chad gear all over the place lol, but don't fret.....this build is op.
I feel like a week or so ago people were freaking out when his sheet DPS in town was 70k and most people were 30-40k. You can run over T15 maps with less than 60k- build feels great at all stages.
Don't worry, I was at 70k a few days ago, now 140k. Getting good jewels also really makes a difference. Look for crit/crit dmg and/or attack spd/attack spd with quarterstaffs and attack dmg.
I chose to put the Crit hits ignore res ascend instead of armor, it helps with bosses and maps with high cold res, because freezing them can take a while to ignore their res that way. (More specifically pinnacle bosses)
The amulet annointment is giving more of a bonus than readily apparent due to stormcharged having to be triggered on crit. It is a MASSIVE boost to actual dps.
Man... I still only have 162K at my max. Same support gems. 57% crit, 490% crit damage 5.75 attacks per second I'm literally doing half your damage, and my weapon is CRACKED. 293-451 physical 14.85% crit 1.6 attacks per second 119% elemental damage bonus I don't have ingenuity though. One ring has flat cold with 28% cold and the other 1-63 flat lightning. Pretty good jewels with all having attack speed, some crit or elemental damage thrown in. Problem is, I'm only sitting on 30 divines in currency. A weapon upgrade would cost me at least 100 divs based on my searches. There's nothing with my physical DPS (595) that's less than that. And I also have the 119% elemental damage bonus and huge crit chance. So I'm really not sure where to invest my money.
Just save for a better staff. Lurk the market. Don's phydps comes close to 800. Not to mention ingenuity is a large boost if you have good rings. Ingenuity is also a great money maker. Run some audiences, maybe even sell boosts. You could easily mount up 100 divs. This is of course with the caveat of you being able to consistently clear ultra endgame content. Otherwise, good luck!
Wtf content are you doing that you need better? Tier 1-4 bosses for atlas? Different tiers of arbiter? I have only done tier 2 breach and tier 4 map bosses and can see getting tons of power from new jewels, maybe different gear, etc but yeah I feel like the upgrades I'm about to make are going to take me to the final stage of character progression (I'm ice strike invoker, just dropped HOWA to try out but I'm only 200 dex 200 int)
What’s challenging about this game is the variety of options to have a killer build. It’s all about finding the right gear for your build. If you have a lightning build with a spear, you could go 10 levels or so before you get a meaningful drop to improve your build. Divine orbs simply will change your life when you find those. I’ve only got one divine orb drop. I bought my 5th slot on my skill with it. It helped soooooo much.
I’m just at a point where I am not making enough currency to afford a staff that’s an upgrade. Any staff that’s an upgrade is 50div plus.. I just can’t make enough currency to afford an upgrade. My staff has 220% phys, and 115% WED. And that’s it… Idk how we are supposed to afford upgrades to gear with the market prices being so ridiculous.
Trail of chaos lv 75+ makes ab 45 ex per run sometimes more when y get sell a 4th ascendancy 2 div per person kill trial master that’ll get you started if u can’t afford 300% mf which is what I run I make on avg 1 div per t15+ I’m also tryna upgrade my staff but I spent my divs on gear to make me richer eventually I’ll get that 75 div weapon upgrade
When is it recommended to do the 4rd Ascendency? I don't even have that so I also can't farm there (or at least I don't know if I can) At which map tier and level did you do it?
Yeah I'm pretty much at a point of in order to go farther I need better gear. But to get better gear I need currency, but to get that currency I need better gear.
That is why I switched to a CI build. I run with 9k+ ES with grim feast. You give up some damage, but you get so tanky and is immune to all chaos damage. Raxxanterax has a good guide on it.
~30k dps, screen shatters the same at T16's, only difference you notice is on bosses. If the screen doesnt empty with the first hit, the target is frozen untill it drops loot.
I got 29k... nothing shatters at all that fast :D lvl 76, at T8.. sometimes struggling to kill monsters, survivability is also questionable even with 72 evasion with acrobatics... idk, maybe gear is not right.
Your build is garbage is the problem. First of all you're invoker, not a ranger, you don't need acrobatics. Go into chaos inoculation and stack energy shield, use herald of ice and thunder, get porcirkeln ring
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777 Thunder and Ice is when your damage is enough to proc the shatter without the ring. Acrobatics is something you should still get IF you can, since only stacking es will get you stunned or afflicted with an aoe or direct spell. There are a lot of mechanics people complain about that evade/acrobatics players will most likely never (95% hard cap) experience. Evade alone will let you go afk on that es snake boss at t15, but the falling over skeletal giant will still send you back to hideout if you are not careful. Same with most of the death effects.~75 evade + acrobatics and you can watch tv while you farm. No acrobatics you better have +80% and dodge attacks manually.
For those who dont know, while in the passive tree you can hold shift over a node and look at the dps increase. Helpful for looking at what put on your amulet
i follow mostly your build but i use chaos inoculation and grim feast instead of ghost dance (also added arctic armour but just for testing atm) and i have constantly 2,8k shield atm (1400 base) - also using armor with evasion/energy shield and i am at 73% evasion on lv 78 with beastial skin missing atm (also using acrobatics) key difference is i still use tempest flurry and also using the ring call of the brotherhood (100% convertion of lightning to cold dmg) and i just left click and breeze throu maps who are just some level below me
I have 170k DPS with Ice Strike. The problem is that when I switch to playing with two Heralds, I feel like I get one-shot easily if I don't have Grim Feast active. Luckily, I have an unset ring, so when I'm mapping, I disable Elemental Invocation and activate Grim Feast, which makes me feel much safer. When facing bosses, I turn Elemental Invocation back on.
I think the mask anointment is a really good idea, I am dying too much, this will help a lot. Perhaps dropping the second bell and running grim feast for mapping as well.
I switched to a chaos inoculation build (immune to all chaos dmg) and never looked back. 9k+ ES with grim feast. Complete game changer. Energy shield is crazy good. Raxxanterax has the guide for it.
Hey man, do you have a particular reason why you use Ball Lightning instead of the Eye of Winter for Elemental Invocation? I was also using Ball Lightning at first, but then I found out how strong critical weakness is. If I'm not mistaken, it should take you from that 55~% crit chance all the way to 100%, or at least close to it. Also, are you liking Soul Thief on the Bell? The initial drop tends to heal a nice amount, but once you inflict 2 ailments on it, the bell stops dealing any physical damage at all afaik, so the leech no longer works after that.
ball lightning works a LOT better, significantly easier to ring the bell. Soul Thief is very noticable, idk if something changed ninja patch style but there's no conversion on bell anymore
@@DonTheCrown That's interesting. I was testing it just yesterday, and when I was using Elemental Focus on Ice Strike to not apply ailments, I was healing my whole mana bar, but once I took it off, after like 2-3 strikes at the bell (applying presumably 3 ailments), I was noticing no healing on my mana bar. (even captured the footage and reviewed it)
you can swap Ice Bite for Ambush to pretty much have 100% crit chance against full life targets. I think it helps with the clear speed a lot. Ice Bite can go to another skill, as long as you can keep a good uptime on it.
Thats not a good idea, ambush on your main skill is giving up a support on your main skill vs the toughest enemies. Ice bite will proc vs weak and strong.
@@DonTheCrown For a bossing scenario you are totally right. But for map clearing imo Ambush is a good choice as it gives me 100% crit chance against full hp. Ice Bite is socketed in Herald of Thunder in my case.
@WDFX strong disagree put ambush in a herald to help to chain. Heralds are doing most of the clearing work, leave ice strike as your problem eliminator and bell as your emergency damage
Question (based on your build on mobalitycs ice monk) Why do we need to put Fire Mistery Support gem inside Unbound Avatar which gives +1lvl to Supported Fire Skills while we don't use any fire skill (only support gems) ?? 😅 😅
I've been using this build and loving it (I'm pretty early on in endgame though) and I wanted to ask how come you don't run the thing where it makes it so you have 1hp and are immune to chaos dmg?
I have a few questions for you, I would be happy if you answer them. 1- I couldn't find the Dagger Stab skill, where can I find it? 2- I cannot put a gem in the Elemental Summoning skill, how can I put it? 3- Finally, could you share the sub-characteristics of the straight shot, which is our main skill?
Does heavy swing works on tempest bell? Judging by bell's wording along with my experience that only bell gives noticeable mana leech indicates that it does remain partial physical? But why do many others suggest all it's dmg got converted and don't use heavy swing then?
im having trouble on bosses where elemental invocation is not stacking back up; im stuck for ages just waiting for that, i see from your clip that it seems to instantly jump back up to 6 stacks on bosses, any idea why mine is not re-stacking?
True, except that's their true weight because I am wearing the belt. If I had taken off all gear except the tested item then it would have been a different weighting.
Idk if you have seen ronnaray build on mobalytics and it seems to have better clear speed but I'm honestly not sure can you explain the difference or why I should choose one over the other?
Hi I really love your videos. You helped me a lot and I can’t thank you enough but there is something that I would like to know. What loot filter are you using and can you share with us? Because I’m spending a lot of time by checking items on the floor, I’m losing my precious time
Hey, just trying this build. I have the exactly same build, but running with HOWA (gonna try without it later). In map it's a BLAST but when I reach in a boss, I do everything you said for in the written guide and when it comes to release the Elemental Invocation it instantly depletes my mana all the way down. I really want to know what to do.
@DonTheCrown Hey, thanks for answering. Just one more question, when you talk about mana leech, how I can get it? it's from jewels? Also, great content, thanks for sharing!!
I have hideout DPS of around 60k, 130kish is maps with buffs with a 590dps weapon. Will rewatch after work to see if I can upgrade. Lvl 88. All my jewels had attack speed dmg and evasion. Mt gloves have attack speed and multi even Thanks for encouraging me not to give up on hybrid monk Edited: i spent 4 hours yesterday, spents 200 ex on buying new rings and jewels and i bearly got my dps up to 72k tooltip, even tried alkaizers tree as well, the mana probelms got even more insane and i still have investment in the reduced mana cost by invoker start, i dont get it what im doing wrong
May be a dumb question but is there any drawback to running polcirkeln and twin herald? is it just something that becomes overkill and is more efficient to grab utility and defenses?
Polcirkeln saves you a skill slot, as it does what twin heralds do. With twin heralds you use up one extra skill slot, but you gain the advantage of getting to use two proper rings.
Hi @DontheCrown i watched almost every video of you and my Monk is build from your build advices. I wanted to say thanks for that. But i have 1 question. I cant find any Advices about Gem Qualiting. For sure i Qualit my Ice Strike, but what gem should we qualy aswell beside that and why? Plx Help
@@metallicafan416 I did mine but i've been learning a lot for the monk from donthecrown, so i just hoped if he could find anything to make the build more consistent
I agree you only want so much attack speed but those unique gloves giving you a lot means you can then unspec attack speed on the passive tree and use those points for other things. What is your crit chance and bonus crit damage on ice strike? Unfortunately your chair was covering it in the video :P.
I’m running ice strike and my ice strike is showing 28k in hideout. I have a 500 dps (240-480 phys) weapon. I have no idea what the major differences are. Rings are phys damage and % cold. Amulet gives crit. Don’t have HOWA. My passive tree is pretty similar although I’m only level 78. My jewels are pretty bad. I don’t know what is making this big of a difference though. I see people with way worse weapons sitting at 100k+ and in the vid he was double my dps with a white staff haha. Any ideas what I’m missing?
Hey don, i'm confused about the lead me thru grace i have 2171 evasion on my body armor.. but my total spirit is only 204. How come yours is 231 when my body armor evasion is higher than yours? is there anything i need to do to reach 230?
i got to t15 maps playing SSF without issues on a slightly different ice strike build. you don't need 300k dps at all really. in fact i think at that point it's probably detrimental (at least for mapping) because you'll be giving up defenses at that point (like passive nodes for more ES/evasion or ascendancy for armor pdr).
Gloves expensive? I bet it the cheapest peace of your gear, it costs 5divs and there thousands of them on the market (because they dont have roll variety - every drops is the same)
Someone tested Rarity in a video, they ran 80 default maps at 26% 100% 200% and 300%. The main takeaway at the end was that there are heavy diminishing returns after 100% so pointless trying to stack above that.
My tooltip is 150k dps with 770pdps staff and maybe 50 divs of gear jewels ect but even at that I’ve killed pinacle bosses in like 10 seconds not gonna stress for the extra dps im already chillin 😎
while poe 1 minimum level for getting optimal dps with gear starts around the low 70's, for poe 2 that level is more like 90, considering skill gem and equipment level requirements.
I’m 91 with 31k dps tool tip and I shatter almost everything sometimes yellows die like white mobs because it ramps up but I’m using a variation of the build
I think your weapon is way to strong, with solid physical dmg and crit rate plus the elemental bonus, i have worse weapon, 850dps with physical and cold dmg, no crit, but i do about 450K dmg on ice strike when in combat, and I have 300 mf. i use control Controlled Metamorphosis to get 2 very important node on the center top. and I use this belt mainly to boost mf not dmg.
I’m seeing lots of comments being discouraged by pricing. You can get to 300k+ with a sub 1 div staff. It’s very simple, just attribute stack with a 70+ div build and then buy a cheap Pillar of the Caged God. Works every time. Keep in mind that you don’t need 300k+ sheet dps to clear all content in this version of the game. Wherever your monk is right now, as long as you’re clearing the content that you’re attempting, is more than good enough! You’ll get there with patience and persistence.
Nice setup but its basicly not realisitc to get realy for basicly 99% of players with how expensive everything is and crafting doesnt exist realy so fg

Don't worry, I was at 70k a few days ago, now 140k. Getting good jewels also really makes a difference. Look for crit/crit dmg and/or attack spd/attack spd with quarterstaffs and attack dmg.
I chose to put the Crit hits ignore res ascend instead of armor, it helps with bosses and maps with high cold res, because freezing them can take a while to ignore their res that way.
(More specifically pinnacle bosses)
Same idea with me, with low damage weapons, critical hits that ignore resistance still make mapping much smoother
Your content is really well detailed and very informative and easy to follow. By far the best PoE 2 content creator out there right now.
thanks!
The amulet annointment is giving more of a bonus than readily apparent due to stormcharged having to be triggered on crit. It is a MASSIVE boost to actual dps.
Also you can sneak mana leech onto rings to allow for HoWA.
Man... I still only have 162K at my max.
Same support gems.
57% crit, 490% crit damage
5.75 attacks per second
I'm literally doing half your damage, and my weapon is CRACKED.

bro idk if im being stupid but why do you have 5L and all these diff skills for high level for a levelling starter build variant on ur moba page?
Hey Don. Will you ever do a review / opinion video, about the state of the game and your thoughts on it ? Would be nice.
You weighted your rings essentially double cause you left the belt on when checking ring added damage.
True, except that's their true weight because I am wearing the belt. If I had taken off all gear except the tested item then it would have been a different weighting.
my tip is change ice bite for 3 rage on hit in ice strike and u will see its pretty nice
Yup. Swap ice bite to HoT and its up most of the time on maps anyway.

I have hideout DPS of around 60k, 130kish is maps with buffs with a 590dps weapon. Will rewatch after work to see if I can upgrade. Lvl 88. All my jewels had attack speed dmg and evasion. Mt gloves have attack speed and multi even
Thanks for encouraging me not to give up on hybrid monk
Edited:
i spent 4 hours yesterday, spents 200 ex on buying new rings and jewels and i bearly got my dps up to 72k tooltip, even tried alkaizers tree as well, the mana probelms got even more insane and i still have investment in the reduced mana cost by invoker start, i dont get it what im doing wrong
Is it worthy to put on quality on ice strike gem when still have an corrupted 6-link? Does the attack speed Bonus adds enough?
Where are you getting so much Chaos res? I didnt see any on your rings.
boots, chest, ring
man id love to see what the dmg is with a rondel on
is sunder my enemies ascendancy node not worth taking over the elemental damage?
Which A3 Venom Draught should we go for?
my man may i please ask?
for rare jewel, which affixes are best with our build? attack speed, damage with quarterstaff, cold damage, etc. thanks mate.
May be a dumb question but is there any drawback to running polcirkeln and twin herald? is it just something that becomes overkill and is more efficient to grab utility and defenses?
Polcirkeln saves you a skill slot, as it does what twin heralds do. With twin heralds you use up one extra skill slot, but you gain the advantage of getting to use two proper rings.
In general do you see double herald variant being all round better than Polcirkeln?
the point of dropping the unique ring is to use a better rare ring that gives u more stats so u can bring it further with ingenuity belt.
Great video thank you a lot!
Thx for the vidoes. How do you search amulet anointes in poe 2 trade site?
Do weapon set passives also work on time lost jewel ?
probably but only when that weapon set is going
Hi, there are an error in the weapon sheet the advanced doesn't work on the other side
think it should be working now
Sharing this with my friend new to poe
Hi @DontheCrown i watched almost every video of you and my Monk is build from your build advices. I wanted to say thanks for that. But i have 1 question. I cant find any Advices about Gem Qualiting. For sure i Qualit my Ice Strike, but what gem should we qualy aswell beside that and why?
Plx Help
ice strike for dmg, bell for more hits, wind dance for more evasion
Why you got rid of charged staff??
How do you have 2 bells bro?
overabundance
Great video, very informative ❤
Don any giveaways for your old gear? ;)
POE Devs doesnt allow streamers to giveaway their gears for free
Great video!!
how much we should aim for ES? so that its comfortable for me to play our is there a key number to max grim?
i did 90% of everything you say here, my phys damage on staff is 500 max and i'm still at 80k tooltip damage. no idea why
No pol ring anymore?
Can you make a flicker strike variant of this build ?
Hell maybe someone can come play for you and you just watch 😂 have no idea how you people get through life 🤔
@@metallicafan416 I did mine but i've been learning a lot for the monk from donthecrown, so i just hoped if he could find anything to make the build more consistent
I agree you only want so much attack speed but those unique gloves giving you a lot means you can then unspec attack speed on the passive tree and use those points for other things.
What is your crit chance and bonus crit damage on ice strike? Unfortunately your chair was covering it in the video :P.
I have 62k dps at 38% crit chance and 378% crit damage. You got any tips for raising it higher?
50%/425%ish
But none of my attack speed is really bad nodes, they're all on the way or in timelost
I’m running ice strike and my ice strike is showing 28k in hideout. I have a 500 dps (240-480 phys) weapon. I have no idea what the major differences are. Rings are phys damage and % cold. Amulet gives crit. Don’t have HOWA. My passive tree is pretty similar although I’m only level 78. My jewels are pretty bad. I don’t know what is making this big of a difference though. I see people with way worse weapons sitting at 100k+ and in the vid he was double my dps with a white staff haha. Any ideas what I’m missing?
weapon, jewels, levels. also my tree is rather optimized.
did you put concentrated effect on ice strike? seems to boost alot of damage.
Why don’t you use sunder my enemies when you have such high crit chance?
Cause I already ignore the resist of frozen enemies
@ ah i see thanks
how i can find those jewels in POE 2 trade? i cant find them T_T
hold your horses buying things from market, patch is imminent nerfs are comin.
so does the mf nerf/removal and div inflation as result 😂
great video
How to add quality on ice strike ?
gemcutter's prisms
Thank you
Hey don, i'm confused about the lead me thru grace i have 2171 evasion on my body armor.. but my total spirit is only 204. How come yours is 231 when my body armor evasion is higher than yours? is there anything i need to do to reach 230?
sounds like youre missing points from the campaign: th-cam.com/video/xbC06GbcOIA/w-d-xo.html
@@DonTheCrown thank you so much! i've missed the last cruel boss.
got to 900k on icestrike with attribute stacking//howa :D
Basically, we need 100s of divines worth of gear.
i got to t15 maps playing SSF without issues on a slightly different ice strike build. you don't need 300k dps at all really.
in fact i think at that point it's probably detrimental (at least for mapping) because you'll be giving up defenses at that point (like passive nodes for more ES/evasion or ascendancy for armor pdr).
so basically drop some defense and get a 100d staff
Armor sucks but for the investment it’s extremely good. All you have to do is get evasion with PMFH.
How do you get 2 bells on your skills ,sigh
Set up one bell, remove it from the gem socket, and engrave the second bell with the first one off your bar...then just slot both in.
С новым годом, спасибо.
Скажите пожалуйста, сколько у вас смертей?
Урон это хорошо, но я часто умираю😢
Gloves expensive? I bet it the cheapest peace of your gear, it costs 5divs and there thousands of them on the market (because they dont have roll variety - every drops is the same)
hmmm yeah I could see that, I originally got my ring(s) really cheap but when looking for an upgrade there was like nothing available anymore
there are no rarity runes.. maybe soulcores.
potato potato
ikd how u get that pure raw weapon thats just so lucky
32 Divines for a weapon with just the prefix and then rerolled suffix with whittles
double of my DPS with a white weapon😢
how tf u got 2 bells lol
Someone tested Rarity in a video, they ran 80 default maps at 26% 100% 200% and 300%. The main takeaway at the end was that there are heavy diminishing returns after 100% so pointless trying to stack above that.
80 maps is incredibly insanely low sample size, especially in PoE where a normal test will be 1000+ maps
Dude has more damage with a white staff than most people with their main staff. /cry
My tooltip is 150k dps with 770pdps staff and maybe 50 divs of gear jewels ect but even at that I’ve killed pinacle bosses in like 10 seconds not gonna stress for the extra dps im already chillin 😎
when you put the white staff, you still have more damage than me 🤣
Damn here i am sitting at 47k and for the life of me cant get higher dps 😭 i even have howa
Meanwhile I'm level 77 and my ice strike says 11k....lol
while poe 1 minimum level for getting optimal dps with gear starts around the low 70's, for poe 2 that level is more like 90, considering skill gem and equipment level requirements.
I'm lvl 91 and mine is still 25k lol
@@IamaQuadChannel was level 76 when i hit 100k, are you guys buying gear upgrades?
You definitely need a staff upgrade or you messed something badly with your build. I had higher dps at level 40.
I’m 91 with 31k dps tool tip and I shatter almost everything sometimes yellows die like white mobs because it ramps up but I’m using a variation of the build
I think your weapon is way to strong, with solid physical dmg and crit rate plus the elemental bonus, i have worse weapon, 850dps with physical and cold dmg, no crit, but i do about 450K dmg on ice strike when in combat, and I have 300 mf. i use control Controlled Metamorphosis to get 2 very important node on the center top. and I use this belt mainly to boost mf not dmg.
Still 2024 here.
Ok, now it's 2025.
Hopefully they will wipe standard soon after coming from break, because there is duping and rarity abuse.
i have 100K tooltip u have x3 mines i cause of ring +° belt i guess?
and ur weap is better but i have a good one aswell
i have 100k - feel sad
I’m seeing lots of comments being discouraged by pricing. You can get to 300k+ with a sub 1 div staff.
It’s very simple, just attribute stack with a 70+ div build and then buy a cheap Pillar of the Caged God. Works every time.
Keep in mind that you don’t need 300k+ sheet dps to clear all content in this version of the game. Wherever your monk is right now, as long as you’re clearing the content that you’re attempting, is more than good enough! You’ll get there with patience and persistence.
Ingenuity belt with 40% roll is upgrade? or better roll need?
U have 84% on ur belt..
That is 500Div 🤣
51% or higher probably
Nice setup but its basicly not realisitc to get realy for basicly 99% of players with how expensive everything is and crafting doesnt exist realy so fg
His setup is overkill honestly
that's why I have like 5 other videos on the build, people kept asking for a breakdown of the damage though on every video so here it is
Guy has only 6 link abilities and is talking about 300k damage😂 i wish i had 4 on every ability
I was very happy about my gear until I saw this video. Now I want to uninstall.
