Nice video brother, subbed.

[@Soulboundwater]

Thank you!

[@RoeDeerMusic]

you can scale defense on every class. my sorc has 10k es, 7.5k evasion and oneshots whole screens.... the defense you can scale mostly is depending on your starting point in tree and sorc has an eccelent one for es/evasion or es/armor

[@lorenzomercado8073]

Kotokos glove able to proc cast on shock so it produce ball ligtning more often?

[@Eatlead727]

If you're not already doing it, I don't know if it would be worth it to use a lightning staff for when you fire off your lightning spells. You can equip your secondary slot to those skills

[@Soulboundwater]

That's an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing

[@atTran-gl5bf]

Interesting ideaaaa. if the gear is not too expensice, Ill deifi try it. Will lool for a lvlling way first.

[@Soulboundwater]

At the top end it definitely gets expensive, but I got it running with very little to start!

[@6lackn322]

Nice video. I might switch my monk because melee just feels off at times.

[@Soulboundwater]

Thank you! Yeah range feels very strong especially as the content scales. We can mostly clear the entire screen at once but if anything gets close we're tanky enough to handle it.

[@6lackn322]

@Soulboundwater Another issue I'm having is the ascension process. I wish they would cut it in half and drop some of those bricking modifiers. That way, it wouldn't be so painful to slog through an unfun part of the game.

[@Soulboundwater]

@@6lackn322 I agree! I think they should be fixed, I've had great success doing Trials of Sekhema (sanctum) but I have full honor resistance relics. Also I haven't done beyond the second one as melee. I'm sure it's even harder

[@Raisensun]

how did u make enemy chill while use thunder damage

[@Soulboundwater]

@@Raisensun flat cold damage on gear, gems and passives on the skill tree that give extra damage as cold

[@Kareembablo]

How do you have 117 passive points at level 80? :D

[@jacobhall6801]

Think it would work with frost bolt and freezing mark? Then use ice shot to break it for 350% damage How far have you gotten with this build? Also, do you think invoker monk is the best build for elemental bow? I’m curious about trying detonating arrow fire bow build one day.

[@Soulboundwater]

@@jacobhall6801 Great points, they're also a lot of things I thought over too. I briefly tried freezing mark and ice shot, it felt good but the clear wasn't as good as lighting arrow. I'd love to look at detonating arrow, but I'm not sure how to make it feel really good. My monk is now 86 and have been blasting to t16. Maxed all 4 res, sitting at 2k hp 2.2k es and like 70% Eva 65% armor, literally a walking tank deleting screens. I think overall monk has the best options for elemental damage scaling so it's extremely viable and nerf resistant.

[@jacobhall6801]

@Soulboundwater thank you! I am glad that someone is trying what I would try if I had more time. A shame that lightning is just the best due to clearing. I love that you added frost to lightning arrow. I think this build is the closest to what I want! I am gonna run this. Thanks! Have you tried the ring that converts all fire damage to frost? I would love to see frost detonating arrow haha.

[@Soulboundwater]

@@jacobhall6801 I haven't, but I did see the brotherhood rings to convert lightning to cold and vice versa, I was thinking about those and how we could abuse x element as extra, but didn't get there quite yet. I've changed the tree a lot already and plan to do a final end game video on this build tomorrow or the next day. I've already used it to farm like 200+ exalts and I'm suffering from wanting to play everything lol

[@Soulboundwater]

@@jacobhall6801 HOWA doryanis is something I'm thinking of but I don't know what skill besides lightning arrow (lmao). I also don't know if stat stacking is worth it without astramentis and going gemling. Too many possibilities 🤔🤷

[@jacobhall6801]

@@Soulboundwater agreed with all of it.

[@bobs1566]

monk can equib bow sry im new but wtf XD

[@Soulboundwater]

Absolutely! As long as you have the attributes you can equip any equipment
