Chayula Monk Build Crafting for maps!

[@martinhronec9424]

This is an interesting niche build. Thx for sharing your thoughts. It would be great if we could see all your support gems, because i cant identify them from those small images. I love those half-developed underdog builds because it can be so rewarding when you finally make them pop.

Hi there. I'd like to share some of my experience with the game. I also ended up creating an acolyte of chayula, and analyzing the ascendancy points, I concluded that the Invoker has better efficiency as melee damage, while the Acolyte has better efficiency being a chaos spell caster, like Hexblast. Chayula flames are best used when we need to move to catch the flames constantly, and as a witch, we are always on the move. After doing acolyte hexblast, I realized that. Another build that can be very interesting is to do the damage with Hands of Chayula. I found that it is possible, when we have a gem of any curse + impeding doom support + decaying hex support + Hex bloom support. And to maximize this damage, it is necessary to build the monk to have a lot of Int points + attack damage + spell damage while using melee weapon (unarmed attack count as melee weapon) + trigger spell damage + chaos damage and very high mana amount. So this build is very end-game. It's just a theory, that I'll try as soon as I reach level 80. As long as having darkness instead of spirit, I think darkness isn't strong enough. Currently, the damage you take with herald of thunder or ice is much higher, in addition to being able to have other defense buffs. So, honestly, GGG needs to buff this passive to be really good. That's it

@@Soturnox1 thanks for sharing!, I'm currently up to level 87. I actually found it pretty good to be an on hit chayula monk. I was trying to do some spellcaster stuff but again I don't think I'd have the gear until very late. I actually don't use darkness or into the breach, I used them early, darkness 1st ascendancy then breach mid game to help sustain but now am full top side of the ascendancy.

Good luck co brother. Ive spent over 200k gold teyong and failing repeatedly between chais melee and MOM/EB combo. Hopefully you can figure it out for me to try once I get my money back up. 😂

Will have updated build deep dive in a video coming up

[@PPG87]

also forgot to mention those most recent chaos nodes come with some mega down sides on your life so if you use those early darkness has even more benefits!

What's the support skills on your ice strike and your tempest bell

[@PPG87]

ice strike - cold pen, martial tempo, cold infusion bell - magnified effect, overpower, biting frost the idea was to freeze them with ice strike, then drop bell and slam bell consuming the freeze activating biting frost for mega dps would usually 1-2 cycle bosses

[@PPG87]

if you only have 2, use cold infusion martial temp on ice strike and mag effect and overpower on bell

Great job on trying to make this guy work! I'm not gonna lie... If I wanted to play some kind of Chaos Witch, I would play... Well... Witch!? Too bad no one found a way to make it work. This ascendancy smells trap. I bet even the dev can't come up with something that works. Invoker has everything and just blasts all the screen and bosses. What's up with this gimmicky class? Why flames spawning and you having to manually collect them? Totally counter intuitive. :( I have the same feeling with Mercenary... Ranger seems to do everything thing Merc does but better, with more options and easier. Ranger can ever use Merc nades better. Why go Merc? Just for the "fantasy"? Not enough reason, for me at least. :(

@@joseluisdossantoscruz1102 It will work one way or another, I've not been able to make something I envisioned in my mind. It's just 1 how effective can I make it and not feel bad and 2 how hard is it to get the gear that I need to make it
