I’m debating Re speccing my warrior to this and throw in ice let me know if it’s worth it

02:31 no. I can not "see here" because im watching on my phone and your image is tiny AF

For mana leech, if you spec into the acendancy for "into the breach" flames of chayula will begin to spawn naturally as you travel. There are 3 if them, red recovers your health, up to 14% hp leech every time you pick one up, blue is the same affect for mana. I plan on getting the acendancy node where mana leech restores your energy shield, I haven't gotten to that point yet but I am assuming that would allow the blue flames to restore your shield. The 3rd flame, purple, gives you a bonus of 14% chaos damages added to your attacks, stacking up to 10 times. There is an element of randomness to the flames spawning, so it is difficult to maintain those stacks indefinitely.

I am rocking a Dot AoC Monk at the moment as well. I'm only level 45 and nearly through act 3, but I am having a blast. I have plans to make adjustments in the future but currently I am using g contagion, essence drain, Hand of Cahyula with despair and the frozen mark on it, dark effigy with the support gem that reduces chaos resistance of enemies hit. I have speced into all three nodes that increase power charge limits and I am using the culling strike and profane ritual to generate those charges and I am using the lightning slam ability to spend them with 21 additional lightning bolts shooting out for a huge hit. It is immensely satisfying to level with. Eventually I'm going to move away from the power charges and the lightning slam and lean into cold and freeze generation using ice strike as my filler between Dot applications. I'm looking forward to it. It is not a face roll spec by any means, but it is a blast and it is incredibly satisfying to watch bosses health deplete continuously so long as I keep my sweat of afflictions up and rolling. I am enjoying the challenge

Where are the planners?

Shadow Wizard Money Gang. This is what I was waiting for.

Can you post the build up😊

Saura! didn't know you were doing this, I wanted to do the same thing after getting bored of running maps with Invoker and being curious about "into the breach" and "flames of chayula". Did you know that poison in this game is an ailment? That's why there's no resist for it like in Diablo, or so it seems at first glance.. I bet you would never guess that the ailment "poison" does it's damage via chaos damage over time (and phys dmg!) ! I'm every bit as green as you are at this game, but have found some resource materials I can share with you. I'm running a bow/quiver using poison skills, and a wand/focus with occult chaos skills. I'll send you some stuff when I get a chance.

So I wanted to go full lich king and went straight ice no minion stuff yet… I’m stuck cuz everything’s on the other side of the talent tree. I look forward to seeing what you can do at least have a 2 hammer while my army does ice and chaos damage

Are you playing SSF? If not i suggest using Ghostwrithe for ES scaling or Cloak of Flame for Phys mitigation, alternatively you could use Enfolding Dawn for extra Spirit although you have to take Blood Magic

Any particular reason for using Reavers over Arsonists or Storm Mages? I feel that the Reavers being melee just sucks for some fights and Arsonists or Storm Mages have the luxury of being ranged which can account for more consistent dps. I'm also new to POE in general so forgive my noob question.

Low key number one build !!

Great build!

its exactly how i wanted to play my next warrior

I dont think there are necessarily witch items etc. Everything is based on weapons and there are no like class specific drops

what about the loot drop ? Since u play as warrior no witch items drop is that true ? or must be very seldom..

im just waiting to reroll when swords/daggers come out.

You're lacking a significant amount of DPS by not running Essence Drain...

Also there is a way to aim with controller. Select the skill, go to skill options or advanced options and select the aim while holding option for the skill. Let me know if that helps or if you need more clarity.

Yo i tried to make this build but gave up because i was too low level for the minions to work

There is a 2h weapon called chobber chaber which lets minion damage nodes apply to the player.

always thought spirit only came on the weapon...til it comes on other pieces

UPDATED VIDEO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYeToHqansmSZq8 Hey all! Small update, the idea works very very well! Very rough gear all around we cruised through the all 6 acts (Cruelty 1,2,3), and started mapping already! Profane ritual idea works really good, we are getting some really good damage from the mix of chaos and reaver's damage. I will be posting an updated video on this very soon, trying to transition from shitty leveling gear to end game gear so I can try some tier 15s. Build Planners below: Until level 58 with Despair and Impending doom: maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/2y8fz0vl After Level 58 with Profane ritual: maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/efas201d

I've been having fun with at "Legion of the damned" themed build. infernalist Witch stacking minion health/respawn and then using the minions take 20% dmg a second as fire + low level minions explode for 15& hp damage (minions persist 4 second after death). Also using raging spirits and hell hound so i have about 20+ minions all on fire.

Yoooo Saura never going back to d4 after this 😂😂 nice build outside the box !

Niceee..

Why not to add Essence Drain?

FIRST

Your monitor looks amazing

I'm trying your version of Blood Surge on Maxroll and it feels great, excited to try this out in S7!

Woah! Nearly 20k views in under a week-thank you to all the new PoE players for checking this video out and for all the helpful information shared in the comments! I've completed the campaign with this build, but I’m still not confident enough to share or make a full guide yet. If I’m going to make PoE2 videos, I want to have a solid understanding of the game, not just put something out there to boost my viewer count. If you’d like to stay in touch, please consider subscribing. One way or another, I’ll soon be ready to create guides and contribute meaningfully to this space. In the meantime, while I’m taking my time, I’ve seen other creators cover similar builds-one, in particular, stood out to me as very strong and min-maxed. I learned a lot from his video and wanted to share his work to give him more exposure. He really knows what he’s doing, and I think you’ll find it helpful too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDafY2ErpyBsMU

you want to shock with monk after hit with chaos shocked enemies take 20% more dmg depending on your magnitude.

Trouble is, the only chaylua monk build that works for endgame is just a hexablast witch build. Chayula needs and rework to make it more interesting. Nothing about it has any interesting mechanic. It's worse than chronomancer in terms of usefulness.

Im a total PoE noob, but i like to theory craft and working on my monk as a Chaos DOT/melee hybrid. Im only around lvl 30 right now but my go to is the dot spreading like your using and then using tempest flurry to mulch through enemies as they melt around me.

how the fuck do you change your hud like that

That Geonor kill you described as “melting” was very, vary far from melting. I have rolled about 9 characters just experimenting with things and I have to say your kill was quite slow. You did seem to have decent sustain though at least.

Corpsewade boots could add an additional chaos dot. Maybe look into other synergies in gear?

I am playing this with qstaff and hand of chaluya with curses and crit damage. Its rough. Low damage untill you get into all the chaos damage and crit nodes. Survival is pretty okay with darkness and evaison

😩😔

Just reading the text on the ascendancy passives. The chaos damage only applies to melee hits. As of now your only options are quarterstaffs or maces.

Keep it up. I was doing the lightning build on the monk, but things didn't work out because this is my first time playing this game and I didn't realize that in this early access there isn't good melee crit builds on the monk. I change to this build and look forward for your future videos in your journey of DoT Monk.

I have reached act 3 and am still waiting on Hexblast to really pop off. Despair with Decaying Hex, Impending Doom, and Improved Hex is bringing me up to 44% reduced Chaos resist on enemies

An ad for Diablo Immortal, how dare you, KZbin.

Cool build and good to see you in PoE2 !!

Do you think you could play melee chonk with the reality rending ascendance node? That gives you flat chaos damage on hit which you can buff with the other chaos nodes in the passive tree like Event Horizon and Sphagettification? I was thinking of running a physical build with Gust, Whirling and Bell; then adding that chaos damage on top also buffing it with Into The Breach. It's just a theory at the moment as I'm not that far in but I don't want to get to that point and brick my character ^^

I think chaos monk is literally a bait, there are no melee skills that are good to support it. I just bricked my monk with lmao. Only possibility is playing as caster, but i wanted being one i would just play a mage, not a monk.

i think the chaos caster will be better in later levels but chaos bow build is valid from lvl 1 so a decent starting point. In POE 1 it is very common to use a similar damage type build early and swap into another later, you just take the shared passive tree nodes early and maybe respec a few points later. Some weapons/skills are just better right out of the gate.

Was hoping for a melee chaos damage character....picking this ascendancy made me reroll warrior.

Yeah I’m 90% sure chaos monk just isn’t finished yet sadly. There are only a handful of chaos skills, the monk skills are neet but not practical. Hand of chu is cool but has bad aoe they should add maybe a dot aoe to it and mantra of destruction imo needs a full redesign , needing to build combo to get a buff and then using that lack luster buff to kill something to get another buff that only lasts 6 seconds is too many hoops to jump through
