how are you able to get 45k dps on ice strike? I only got 14k, I followed the tree and gears

[@filipepaivazoega3669]

@@RyannOlaso must be gear, or not as much stats as he got.. I am only lvl 63 with 14k already.

The most impressive part of this video is that the sellers actually responded to his trade site whispers

[@w4ik4]

[@lemonhead2205]

Just spam like 3-4 sellers one is bound to respond

[@NoobMasterSSS]

Exactly what I’m looking for. I was challenging some other content creators to make a build with 100ex, they weren’t interested. You’ve earned a sub from me. Will follow for other builds.

[@jason23189]

"1 div" build vids have been done to death.

[@Jinir]

Glad to see you back on the POE vids. Good build!

[@alain4037]

Very well made guide even with the gear trade searches

[@setcamper]

Great guide, super approachable. I would love a follow-up/addendum video on what to prioritize in order to get into the triple Deli maps you've done on stream or any additional thoughts on upgrades to look out for (Chaos Resistance, premium affixes, rarity, etc.). I watched your steams before Xmas and your gear was pretty nuts and it's overwhelming to think about what to focus on first. I assume the gloves push the build massively, though. It will be interesting to see what GGG has planned for rebalancing over the next few weeks and how everything evolves.

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

I am pretty sure this could do triple delirium because I was doing triple on my build before i went stat stacker at 36k dps on a 5link and this has 48k on a 3 link. main thing you want for upgrades is save for the HOWA gloves they are really really good. 400 int gives 40-400 flat lightning damage that is unbelievely high. otherwise it is just going for rarity a stat and 2 higher resists one piece at a time. sometimes I save up and buy 2-3 pieces at a time when i am swapping resists.

[@undertalebob3207]

I applaud you good sir! Nice job!

[@NonameNoname-f9l]

I don't play Monk, but I love your content! You’ve earned my sub.

[@w4ik4]

well played man. nice video why you dont run whole map with charged staff?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

extra buttons have carpel tunnel/arthritis getting old is rough. don't really need it if you can palm and explode. only really do it for rares/bosses. The point is even playing suboptimal it will work and if you do use charged staff the whole time it will perform even better

[@devinayaz9210]

honestly, im trying this and so far. its not bad. thanks

[@Ilestun]

I don't get how stat stackers max their resistances without that chest with 4/5 sockets. I got those gloves giving dmg per intel (just dropped it from breach boss), and I basically have no attributes on gears (only resistances) and I still struggles to be res capped, and I ignore chaos res

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

resist rolls are in tiers you need higher tier resists on each piece. you can get implicit corrupts with resist. there is a unique jewel that gives you a res per allocated point in a large radius my non budget setup has 4%cold 3% fire with 12 nodes in radius for 48 cold 36 fire res.

[@namvuhm]

Are you planning on making an upgrade for it?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

you would upgrade to what I was running in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foOml4Kca79mpKc

[@TotallyTrading]

I did everything you did in this video as far as rings and gloves to try and get flat damage up but for some reason my tooltip is only showing 8k damage and 3k dmg for my heralds.... nowhere near those numbers idk why

[@catisbae]

Thanks for detailed guide. I have HoWA, but have a hard time capping resistance if I want attributes/health/rarity lines. Seems I have to sacrifice damage for resists lines. Any tips on how to get more resist while having the rarity/attribute lines?

[@macnpro1]

Rarity is a prefix and suffix on helmet, rings, amulet. While only a suffix on boots. Could get rarity on prefix where possible to save the suffixes for res/attr

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

for my other version I am using an against the darkness unique jewel with 4% cold 3% fire resist to all small nodes in radius. i have 12 nodes so I get 48% cold 36% fire from it. I have it on the far right by the staff nodes.

[@catisbae]

@@GameyMcJamesFace is this farmed in the honor trial? Or if trading did you just brute force the trading site to find one since filter doesn’t seem to work for the unique jewel.

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

@@catisbae i just put in the name of the jewel and scrolled pages and pages

[@lancehetfield6396]

I really wish i had found your channel earlier

[@robink.4614]

nice guide! when should i change to this build? after the campaign? i did my first map yesterday

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

when you can but the staff with an ele implicit corruption and 2 sockets and gloves with good high flat and rings with good high flat damage. try to get stats as well, but focus on hitting the resistance cap of 75% for each resist

[@RedWolfsbane88]

What is the best option for runes/cores on the weapon? I've been eyeing up the 30% increased Elemental Damage with Attacks core

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

for budget you want flat ele damage corrupt 2 sockets and then flat ele runes because it gets multiplied by strength. there is a node that gives 2% damage per lowest is int at 190 attribute my lowest so 38x 2 = 76% that one node gives a ton. % increased is easy to get flat damage is not easy to get. super late game when you have gloves attack speed is probably the best but i like to freeze stuff.

[@getupho]

you can run two separate bell skills currently for some reason lol

[@Elemandares]

Can I play this build with chayula?

[@arubi97]

is the Polcirkeln Sapphire Ring any good with this build ?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

watch the video i just put out a few minutes ago you don't need it because you can get chain herald of thunder and herald of ice together. also a lot of damage comes from base stats on rings so you don't want to sacrifice those. its good for leveling early though

[@emirimbow]

i am having mana problems during boss fights. how can i overcome this?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

less cost gem on main attack, run a lower level gem for your main attack, better mana flask, flat mana on gear.

[@emirimbow]

@@GameyMcJamesFace thx ill

[@thcshadow]

I'm going to try this on my gemling legionnaire. Was wondering if it would work without the gloves I can't afford yet. Cheers!

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

yeah it should work. I think I am going to start leveling a gemling legionaire tomorrow. unfortunately they made armour scaling really bad which means the 4 point invoker ascendancy is dog water in late game. much better to go for 800+ int with double base stat for 3200+ base mana and go for mind over matter with ci. that way I am chaos immune and have good defenses.

[@thcshadow]

@@GameyMcJamesFace Build works like a charm! Spent +-160ex and man, this is so much fun to play! This compared to my previous "delayed multiple buttons in sequence damage" grenadier.. Crazy. Thanks for the build man!

[@Zmora.QQ_T8]

Can u make a build to Super End Game + 5 socet on Skills meaby

[@eatybottngoun2904]

hi, i would love to try the build but do you have a leveling guide for this?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

no i don't have a leveling guide. if you get a corrupted pillar with a flat elemental and 2 sockets and buy a 3ex meginords gives 45 flat strength you should be able to level easily. (its the equivalent to a weapon you would get at lvl 40+ and you can wear them at lvl 1. I am likely going to switch into legionaire and level it tomorrow in leveling gear.

[@kennychan2599]

I don’t why, my damage is lower, when using the unique, but with the new strength skill tree and my rare weapon, the damage is almost the same

[@hello_cye]

this build does ton of damages but how to u fix the defensive ? running t15 seem so weak. how u fix it?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

Realistically save for HOWA if you can kind of clear then you have way more damage so you can focus on defenses. Other option is better chest probably evasion/hybrid one + running grim feast(drop blasphemy) + a high ES helm.

[@hello_cye]

@@GameyMcJamesFace thank you. i try that.

[@alextse4992]

Great guide! What additional gem to link if i have a 4L ice strike?

[@xwhis]

cold infusion or concentrated effect

[@JoeBezk]

Forgive me if i missed it but what were your stats at in the video? Or whats a pretty good base stat average to have a decent build going for mid maps?

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

09:27 when i am putting in the runes. 242 str 368 dex 197 int. i wouldnt worry to much about stats but you want dex>str>> int for this setup. aim for 2200+ life 300+ es and 1k+ mana with the 26% damage taken into mana before life. the more important thing is to cap resistances make sure you are at 75 for all elemental resists before you worry about damage. I cleared the endgame with like 28k ice strike the setup i had here was 48k which means there is a lot of lee way to go more defensive. I would aim for 180str 300 dex and 150 int(need for curse but can run a lower level curse)

[@JoeBezk]

@GameyMcJamesFace thank you. Love the attack speed seems so fun. Ive played around with ice strike and stormwave and both are decent. I clear t15s but this just looks so much more fun n fast.

[@nashgane6936]

I don't understand, with similar items my dmg is nowhere near 45k T_T

[@iESCAP1SM]

I second this. I guess the staff and gloves are just that good? And flat dmg stacking in general. I’ve invested so much in the wrong gear, it seems.

[@nashgane6936]

@@iESCAP1SM I got myself to 40k dps after reaching 83lvl and getting these stat stacker nodes at the very bottom of the map and even though I can kill T15 boss in 1 sec I keep dying to everything in one hit, completely different story from my mana stacker archmage spark stormweaver which can clean T17-T18 no sweat

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

yes you need flat damage corrupted staff with 2 flat ele runs in weapon. and then you need high flat damage on rings and gloves. you basically have to make up for damage you would get in the weapon and the howa gloves with flat damage from those pieces of gear.

[@nashgane6936]

@@GameyMcJamesFace I got the corrupted weapon and some pretty decent gloves, was considering getting howa but my monk feels SUPER squishy. I have like 2,5k hp and 1,2k es already but I still die to one hits from rare mobs despite having high res. Its paper compared to my manastacker archmage spark build which can take up to top beefed breach boss. I'm wondering if gemling would be more tanky perhaps.

[@dubleshooter]

how yo ucan get so much spirit for the all auras?

[@givemeheadpats2431]

It’s an Invoker Ascendancy mode which lets you have X Spirit per X evasion and energy shield on equipped chest at the cost of you cannot gain spirit from equipment

[@madmanis12345]

why fire damage on the quarter staff?

[@speedygaming-w8v]

i think he also get the 50% damage boost on ignited target

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

i am using the node that frozen targets have no resists. so i went with the cheapest corrupted staff with 2 sockets with a good damage range roll. you also get more damage for igniting your bell so you want at least a little fire damage on some piece of gear

[@zangh3]

how the hell do you sustain the huge mana costs. Leveling is bitch, even if the bosses drop fast, if you run out of mana, gg

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

mana gained on kill jewels are your friend. i have 3% when i kill a pack i go to full mana. on my non budget version I have mana on every piece of gear for 1300 mana so that i enter the fight with 1300. mana regen scales off base mana so I have higher mana regen as a result. consider lowering your dex so that you attack slower.

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

also don't be afraid to run a lower level main attack skill. most of the boss damage comes from the bell anyways.

[@klorickuldara5593]

[@GameyMcJamesFace]

you need to setup live filters or scroll through and look for deals. people misprice all the time and also the market has new items all the time. I didn't even use any live filters for this.

[@PaLerMiiTaNo3344]

Cool and interesting build! Might look into it later. Genuine question here.. im currently lvl 83 and sitting at 70k dps for ice strike. Is that overkill? Should i go into defenses more? Doing T12 maps with tattered robe and grim feast energy shield build. Got it up to 6k with grim feast. Idk that somehow feels better than stacking evasion ( i also have 63% evasion or so). Also is hand of chayula worh it or should i rather use shattering palm. And nice explanation on the market!
