Path Of Exile 2 - This Monk Build Feels Overpowered!

[@TheBangooman]

Hey man, great guide as always! I'm gonna repeat my comment from the last one you did for Chayula Monk since I think anyone not playing SSF could make use of it: For anyone trying this out: heavily recommend spending 1 exalted on Ghoswrithe for the chest, it adds pretty much 1k energy shield, and 30%+ chaos res, it will be much cheaper to acquire than the chest piece on the planner and you can use it from pretty low level as soon as you get the Eternal Youth perk. To be honest, I'm pretty sure it's close to BiS for this build, since it relies almost entirely on energy shiehd + potion for defense, idk if maybe Wudi didn't know about this one or it's technically slightly better to use the piece he's listed on the planner, but in terms of cost/benefit, it's definetively the best chestpiece. Hope it helps someone.

[@morgothkj]

The chest significantly drops your Evasion tho. My chest piece has about close to 800 evasion rating.

Love to see you’re enjoying PoE 2 Wudi. Can’t wait to hop in after the holidays. I’m excited to have something to play after I get burnt out on Diablo seasons

[@hertimaloku8163]

I would ask if please you can put the attribute nodes in your planner….what have you chosen in each one as it would help a lot to understand how to allocate them too

[@samsquatch7285]

This really is more dependent on your gear. Basically you need to put some into int and some into dex. You shouldn't need many in strength as most gear will be dex in early game and then dex/int late game. I found that I needed more int once I got to lvl 13 skill gems. Nice thing is that you can respect these nodes whenever you need to. TLDR. Pick Dex-Int 3:1 and change as needed to meet gear requirements. Cheers

[@IdyllicMullet]

​@@samsquatch7285I tend to put enough into int/dex to equip my gear then spec the rest into Str for the additional life. Extra dex just gives you accuracy. Extra int gives mana. I'd prefer to have the life

Anyone using ice strike & Herald of Ice. Spend the 1 Div for the unique ring Polcirkeln. This turns the build from great to illegal. You will kill any mob close to the one you kill. It is absolutely insane.

[@zeffmalchazeen3429]

I searched the ring now, it only costs 1EX? what is the difference for higher cost?

[@hansprophete3955]

I have this, paired with hand of wisdom is insane

[@ernikhilgoel]

This ring is really good, though you can get it cheaper, I bought for 25 ex

[@circaen]

@@ernikhilgoel Nice, I bought mine days ago - and there is a chance I could have gotten it cheaper but I was impatient, lol.

[@circaen]

@@zeffmalchazeen3429 Get it for what you can get it for! I bought mine for a DIV

[@MrChucklepuff]

I've really enjoyed all your videos. I've been playing this guy and I'm just on act 3 so far. How do you get the weapon to look like that with the ice animations on each end? Is that a skin?

[@brandoncox9493]

Charged Staff skill

[@MrChucklepuff]

@ oh ok! I don't have that yet.

[@Always_Rogue]

Hey Wudi, have you seen the Str stacking/attribute stacking build going around using the Pillar of the Caged God unique quarterstaff and Gemling ascendancy? It seems to be the best "Monk" build in the game (likely only trade league viable).

[@wc2195]

The one that requires the howa gloves as well?

[@Always_Rogue]

@wc2195 Doesn't REQUIRE HoWA but yes scales high DPS in endgame with those

[@DeeDiazH]

I tried that build, if you don't get those expensive unique you end up with a less strong version of a monk.

[@rjrulz327]

@@wc2195u can get similar dmg going all str and some good duel ele gloves

[@multipass8519]

if you could do it over, would you choose invoker? or is acolyte ascendencies better for this style of build?

[@함동인]

Is there a reason to take the unarmed passive?

[@swapnajoynath1478]

Hi wudi, is this kind of power level achievable by the average player on ssf??

[@arristo4860]

Very helpful to start understanding the game mechanics and have a decent build (+very easy to use) before I create mine , ty for info and the work

[@Jimmy-vv6tn]

Meditate ascendancy for Invoker is low key AMAZING. Have to drop eternal youth node cause it's bugged, but I'm walking with like 10k EHP

[@theodenstore]

So.. how hard do you think monk will be nerfed? If you compare your experience as Merc to Monk.

[@Thishandleshouldbeavailable]

2 days from lvl Zero to 91???

[@thomasanderson3141]

Right tho lmao me sitting on a lvl 69 mercenary since release 😅

[@zeffmalchazeen3429]

it is 2 days played. If you type in /played you will see your total time in this character. It is still fast considering wudi has several toons. My /played for my monk is 50hrs and is still 74

[@bigbo1213]

i'm stuck at t15 now alway got 1 shot kill (hp 1.5k,es3.5k,eva3.1k ,all res 75 ) or maybe my weapon dps is too low?

[@johnstallone4807]

Is Wudijo no longer a hardcore player?

[@PyroClit]

have you been in game? Those 1 hits are nasty af.

[@Diehardgamer2001]

Games not hard-core viable yet imo, or atleast not in a completely fair way.

@@PyroClit I play hc along with many others...

[@schauski]

I think he goes for knowledge and experience with the game first. It is kind of the only reasonable way to go, if he wants to provide guides for maxroll in the early stages of early access. I have no doubt he will try hardcore at some point.

[@johnstallone4807]

@@schauski Makes sense, I was just curious because I follow the hc build makers because I'm more likely to survive following their builds

[@tron7116]

I wish ice was a little better lightning just seems so much more powerful, tempest fury just seems so much better to me compared to ice strike

[@circaen]

You are completely out of your mind.

[@tron7116]

@ that’s a good argument

[@martinx7517]

my old one had 9000 evasion and could do t 10 .. I tried this build and can't even do t4 if you don't have great equipment it's not good, prefer the one from rob

[@chrisjohnson1312]

I have 71% evasion (6690), Energy shield of only 1,741, with 1,463 life. I have all resist except Chaos at 75% (chaos at 28%). I am just cruising through T10 maps right now. Just died to boss death explosions. :) I am using a slightly different build, but doing nicely. My Ice Strike DPS is 23.5K.

[@kylechristianson7667]

Skill issue. This build is OP as heck
