Is Monk the most VERSATILE class in Path of Exile 2? | A Complete Deep Dive

[@bungmonkey2295]

Invoker ice strike with ice herald and unique sapphire ring shreds mobs very fun

[@mattbrassfield2291]

Chayula i think is going to be the safer bet. For each flame you pick up ( which killing mobs drops them ) you 14% Overcapped Health (Red) OverCapped (Mana) and 14% x *1-10* darkness orbs. Soft caped at 140% bonus damage and zero Hard Cap for Health and Mana.. Meaning it will be awesome for survivability and Delving when the full launch releases.. Darkness on the other is a idk pick up on the ascendency. bc its only a bonus of 600 Mana and Health on to your pool... ( this will go into Health Stacking and Mana stacking for extra damage ) 3rd ---Mana leech is instant 4th. --- a Bonus chaos damage buff that trigger on hits..23% 17% 7% for 25% 50% 100% if the a higher buff is triggered the new (bonus cap is replace.) in other words you always guaranteed Bonus 25% free chaos. but every 6th hit its upgrade to 50% and every 13hit its updated to 100% bonus. last for 5 hits. (25% hit 4)-- 2 tap 50% (5hits) back to 25% 3Hits 100% for 5hits then rotation starts over again. * when the 100% trigger's Gong will kill packs and boss's like a truck. *

are we forgetting legoinnaire where it's literally just an "anything and everything" class?

[@liverpoololdschool]

I literally get the furst boss at the start to near death but just can't beat it I'm monk 😢

[@themuffinman5755]

​@@liverpoololdschool for early game I felt like ice cascade was best vs bosses. Just make sure you're at the right range for the spike to hit them and it deals alot of damage

[@liverpoololdschool]

@@themuffinman5755 thanks il give it a try when I can next get on.... I thought poe 1 was hard the first few hours but this is way harder especially as nothing and I mean nothing is dropping..... I suppose it will be tweaked for full release, I should have waited tbh.

[@themuffinman5755]

@@liverpoololdschool eh I used the gambling vendor for each item that I didn't have a good evasion/energy shield modifier. Got like two rares and the rest magic then I sped through act 1. Once I got the tempest bell (3rd row of skills I think) and the lightning strike combo my damage went way up and I just had to focus on my survivability then. I also felt like the beginning of poe 1 was a little easy once I figured out the easy ways to get average loot and the skills that scale best with each build. Pairing staggering palm with ice cascade is very good early game also as every shot will throw out a wind gust with the ice so 1 or 2 of those then a couple of the mobs will be primed to get a power charge for your lightning strike. The monk for me was about going from ranged to melee and back again. With energy shield you won't survive in a drawn out melee so you have to clear the mobs quick or be in and out of the fight. What helped me was when I was choosing a skill I looked at the future skills (even though I couldn't obtain them yet) and I made a build around what I would be when I got those and focused on damage and surviving until then. But I completely understand, without getting through the learning curve in this game it can be very challenging. Had to stop playing warrior in the first act because I didn't understand his mechanics and couldn't beat the Drayven boss. Played the rest of the classes then came back with a new understanding, went through the same dungeon and beat Drayven on my 2nd try once I got used to the blocking mechanic. I'm sure you'll get it eventually just keep at it 💪😎

[@liverpoololdschool]

@themuffinman5755 thank you I think I will just grind some mobs and try that gambling guy, I never bothered with it as I suppose the first game sort of it was never used. I will deffo not be giving up and as for warrior which I loved in the Last game, goddamn I couldn't get past the very first boss to get into the first town..... I'd get it down to the very last hit or two but always ran out of health 😂.... Thanks for the advice much appreciated.

[@infantryplankton]

Contagion chaos monk is legit. Love the combo with death punch to spread diseases.

[@mattbrassfield2291]

Contagion is weak as shit... the scaling is minor at best. Question: do you embrace the darkness or keep your spirit.

[@JLtmStudio]

focusing on the narrating subtitles instead of the gameplay

[@kingslayer2152]

Wow your monk looks way better than mine. I just walk backwards while spamming cascade to kill hordes 😅

[@InsightfulGaming]

haha

[@ofekmizrahi3079]

The issue with monk is that early game you have no ranged attacks unless you use ice and overall only during act 2 you really start picking up

[@PandaCheeks]

You don't need range with monk...😂

[@GRITBONE]

You won't need range but a few times and for that I used the ice wave perk to hit those enemies and bosses that stay further back

[@AbirBelly]

How'd he get that red glow at the beginning it looks so cool

[@rattleboned]

Why did you change your voice Insightful I remember you from Destiny 2

[@InsightfulGaming]

Old voice got very expensive. Unfortunately, I don't make any money from my channel, i do this for fun & help people =)

[@rattleboned]

@ Ahh I see glad to see you’re still around(:

[@codes2682]

Chayula should have a ton of chaos resistance...

[@mattbrassfield2291]

it will small passive that Doubles and Maxes it

[@PwlCostaLifts]

I really enjoy how your character moves through the mobs and love the elemental skill combinations. I wanna build a character like that, versatile in skill usage. I've been searching forever for a monk build and this is it. Pure based avatar style. I honestly don't wanna build the same repetitive builds where you rely on 2 or 3 skills. I hate that monotomy. So how can I build such character like that monk in the background? Thanks brother.

[@Toxxxic_]

Ahhhh you think darkness is your ally.

[@mathewbarnes4468]

I don't think I've picked the right path. I'm getting wrecked as my monk in act 1

[@1stribe]

Act 2 is where it gets better.

[@mathewbarnes4468]

@1stribe having a blast now in act 2 haha. I'm running through enemies

[@PandaCheeks]

Yeah you are supposed to kill them 😂

[@swaggpoe]

900th like

[@darkoni95]

Time control class look better

[@jaysmither5498]

ya it's certainly not monk

[@AFel-pp1hp]

No class is "melee" and no class is "ranged"

[@NotChallenger0098]

It is bro . In poe2 its is ! In pve maybe no matter . But in pvp it is

[@matmatbr7227]

Tf you talking about pvp, nvr played poe

[@aldolopez3140]

Yes in poe2 there is ranged class. That’s the new one w the bow that acts as a shotgun , auto rifle or sniper.

[@vb_blokeboi7251]

@@aldolopez3140 he's technically right, you can play whatever skills you want no matter the class

[@AFel-pp1hp]

@matmatbr7227 every class can use any weapon and theres always gonna be a way to make it work. For ex. You can take the witch infernalist ascendancy and use crossbows/bows to apply ignite damage... thats my plan 😉. Y'all gotta break out of your D4 brains
