MOBILITY UPDATE! Going FAST! - LATEST FULL BUILD GUIDE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDXaGujidKImrs /// Watch me Live and Ask Questions - www.twitch.tv/ronarray

[@runavargr3395]

Can we get an updated planner please, thanks for the video went to planner and didn’t see blink on it. Rolling a monk today and want to try ur build out

[@allawi413]

I’m struggling to get all of the support gems right, would love a list of all the support gems you have on the build, it’s very hard to follow as I have to go to other videos to see. I don’t believe you’ve shown what gems you have on your quarter staff Love the build 💯

[@ronarray]

@@allawi413 It is iron runes in the staff and no particular gems, use Full build guide to see all - LATEST FULL BUILD GUIDE - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDXaGujidKImrs

[@mitrasiewrattan]

Hey can u update this build on mobalytics as a separate build. I don't think alot of us has reached as far along as you and we are still behind on gear and levels.

[@JuWnL]

It becomes better, you deserve more followers, keep going!!! Thank you!!!

[@ronarray]

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it - stay tuned for update later today, it will be a beast.

[@ZachzodiaSSJ]

dude i LOVE that blink update, amazing man

[@ronarray]

Yeah, it was a major quality-of-life improvement! Stay tuned for more stuff!

[@BiffBlackstar]

Thank you for this build!

[@ronarray]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@FelixHap]

Really nice upgrade ! Still have to play a bit with nodes as I have Beastial skin and Enhanced reflex for Evasion but got a cool damage upgrade !

[@ronarray]

We also became FASTER! Thank you for the support too mate.

[@Stormsurgez]

Whats probably the more important support gem for Storm wave if I only have 4 support gem slots atm, Lightning Infusion for better Damage or Electrocute to electrocute mobs and be able to gain charges for Charged staff much easier?

[@ronarray]

You can check out updated Build version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDXaGujidKImrs it has different setup for skill and stronger overall.

[@DDDavidV]

Loved the update thank you. One thing you could try is putting flicker strike + perpetual charge + culling strike + Rage. We got the extra power charges after using Charged Staff, it helps clear since it auto target and moves u forward and it helps build rage very fast. We got the room for it, so give it a try. The skill itself doesnt need to do damage, the damage will come from charged staff + culling.

[@ronarray]

Nice idea tbh, build changed with life update - but I will still test it later. Merry Christmas!

[@QuikeQ]

a tried ice/lightning monk for a week but when i tried again your build its literally cake walk now great video also yea blink is op

[@Skurcey]

you have a 3 point node west a bit north that convert damage to mana, look interresting to be a bit more tanky (also add 15 int)

[@IceHeart1762]

Awesome continuous updates I will stick with you from here on! Can you provide a link to your loot filter?

[@ronarray]

Thank you very much man! We will have 1 more update today which is NUKE! for loot filter use Neversink

[@Stormsurgez]

Is the overall DPS higher or lower with the new changes to your passive skill tree now to accommodate blink?

[@ronarray]

It is about 15% higher.

[@Stormsurgez]

@@ronarray Awesome thanks!

[@mickmax123]

Hello! Love following the build so far and its working wonders on my monk! I'm mixing and matching your monk build with others and what do you think about adding Coursing Current as a support to Charged Staff as it seems we have two free slots on your page? Thanks again

[@sterroyy]

could you show ur current inventory how is it looking atm.

[@ronarray]

Will show in tomorrows video.

[@ventilaator44]

Thanks for the guide! Which venom draughts (The Slithering Dead) to choose in Act 3?

[@aionation2295]

My opinion would be to go with the 25% increased mana regen. I picked element ailment threshold, but at my current level 65 (On cruel 3), I feel the mana regen would of been the more useful pick.

[@ronarray]

It should be mana!

[@aionation2295]

@@ronarray when you next update your guide/build, would you consider mentioning which permanent buffs to pick from the acts (only the ones that require you to make a selection that is irreversible)? Feel this might help new/newer players or those new to monk following the build.

[@ronarray]

I mostly mention those in comments, but maybe.

[@davidwang1307]

Have you considered investing into some more sources of ES on tree; or do you think the points are too tight on the tree?

Shall we still change the tree even if we cant use blink yet? (Dont have the spirit). Or shall we have the tree as shown in the last video.

[@ronarray]

I recommend to follow FULL BUILD GUIDE there - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDXaGujidKImrs

[@WhiteChocolateTricks]

Listen..if you update this shit for more DPS one more timeee right after I spend all my gold trying to get through campaign and follow along..i'll....be mildly tilted and change anyways xD. The updates to this build since I started following last week are ridiculous. The dedication is admirable.

[@ronarray]

Thank you very much man! Dont kill me but 1 more update incoming today - BUT it will require almost no Tree changes!

[@obesechicken13]

U don't need crit during campaign. It's kinda hard to build before u get the skill points and exalted orbs for it to buy a good staff and amulet.

[@oskarszwajkowski]

Lol I was surprised seeing only 33 chaos res? I'm trying to cap chaos res and stuck on 25k storm wave DPS now Do you have energy shield in your body armor? If not how did you get 1k+ energy shield? Can you show all items you wear in next video + all stats? You usually show just pieces between videos and its hard to get references to all of pieces.

[@claudiomattei3079]

Just thinking on top of my head since I m not on my pc now but, can blink be casted with offhand weapon? If that's the case we could use the weapon sets skill points to get as much cast speed as possible? Maybe also the intelligence? Same goes for offhand, a staff with good cast speed and intelligence would work?

[@triple6ix.465]

What do you think about investing in energy shield instead of evasion+energy shield and taking the chaos inoculation node + grim feast?

[@ronarray]

It is a pretty good survivability option, can be expensive but still nice.

[@nasus4930]

thanks again for the videos man !!

[@ronarray]

Yeah, it should be relatively easy for you. Can check my streams for the fight gimmicks.

[@thaeka]

How do we get our storm wave to a higher level, mine is at 18 and I have no clue how to get it any higher

[@ronarray]

You need to drop lvl 19 skill gem or lvl 20 one. Both are pretty rare.

[@thaeka]

@@ronarray I see, I'm assuming they are more likely to drop in T15's? Also thank you for the response!

[@ronarray]

[@ColdScars]

​@@thaekalvl 81 can drop 19 and 20 need to run t15 irridated corrupted or t16 iridated

[@spkrash]

Second wind actually feels quite good with blink

[@ronarray]

Haven't tested it directly tbh - is it?

[@spkrash]

@ yeah, i’ve tried it yesterday - you have slightly worse cooldown, but can blink twice in a row, so that means you have second chance if you blinked badly

[@KodyLapointe]

​@@spkrashwhat's the cooldown?

[@spkrash]

@@KodyLapointe Tooltip on blink says 3.8 seconds, but i'm not sure if it's counting both supports and quality correctly

[@Rokartz]

Why do you take shock boost in your ascendancy since your shock wave and herald of thunder can not shock enemies

[@ronarray]

Charged Staff is shocking.

[@Foggpdf]

do you swap anything for harder bosses, or would recommend swapping? my dps on storm wave is around 65k (out of combat) and i feel like its not that great for bossing, will definitly try without upheaval, but maybe bell with tempest flurry just for bossing, any opinion on that?

[@ronarray]

Yeah, if you struggle with bosses gonig bell + flurry is 100% the way.

[@Foggpdf]

@@ronarray will test that out, great job on frequent updates, thanks for your time and effort

[@nasus4930]

do you have 6 links on your storm wave? if not, know that electrocute on storm wave is a game changer

[@ColdScars]

65k is plenty enough for bossing, just stay close and hit all waves

[@Foggpdf]

@@ColdScars it felt a little lacking on breachstone boss, but maybe it's due to seeing all the other classes/builds melting it

[@Arctoz]

Great build guide! I have a question tho. I can't seem to get more DPS out of my Storm Wave (4link) its currently sitting at 20k in hideout and my gear/points are almost on point. I dont know what im missing :(

[@kamilgawot91]

Hi, dont you think that sacrificing a bit of damage for the sake of survivability would bebworth it? I am running at 70k hideout damage for wave, with 80% evasion chance and around 75% phys damage reduced. I am not using unbound avatar for the sake of physical reduction ascendancy and I am still 4-5 shotting ultimatum bosses, and all other monstersbin maps still gets one shotted. Will try blink though instead of blasphemy. As only bosses requires any curses hand of chayula would eork just fine for me. Thanks for tips, even though my tree is slightly different :)

[@ronarray]

I'm not a big fan of Protect me from harm for now, but will test it later for sure. Thank you for watching!

[@porkorr]

What is your right click skill and how do you get it?

[@ronarray]

It is Lightning bolt from weapon swap and it is useless.

[@runavargr3395]

Is the planner updated. Checked it out and didn’t see blink in it. Rolling. Monk today and want to try this out. Thanks for the vid

[@ronarray]

Yeah, blink is essential, will update the tree soon!

[@runavargr3395]

@@ronarraythank you

[@Mikymarcusjack]

Could you please update your build guide on mobalytics

[@DDDavidV]

Why dont you put the Aura Blink in secondary weapon? Put a secondary Weapon with lots of Int. Put blink in it. Then switch weapons when you want to blink and switch back to attack. That way you dont need to change the tree for int.

[@ronarray]

Dont want to click more.

[@jorgenbre]

How do you get so much spirit? I only have like 140, got 1258 evation rating with 40%+ evasion/shield, 53 evation rating and +93& evasion rating

[@ronarray]

Pretty low evasion rating - if you go full evasion at least 1800+ is needed. also make sure you got ALL bosses from the campaign.

[@nilem7734]

do u have the +100 spirit from the campaign bosses

[@yitzchalfari2426]

newer player here, but how are your storm wave dps hitting 100k? Mines around 10k. I'm assuming jewels and a very good quarterstaff play a huge part?

[@ronarray]

I explain how my damage is high in there - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2SQg4V4fbimmZI

[@obesechicken13]

I wouldn't worry too much about the tooltip. It seems to have crit wrong so there's probably a lot else wrong too. 5 sockets is a lot. It's like 2 massive multipliers as well compared to 3. Like 2*25% multipliers is 56% more.

[@MrRapt00r]

How about usage of blink on weapon swap? You'll haVe to use one more key tho, but it'll get u 60 spirit back tho

[@ronarray]

Interesting idea but too many buttons I think, will still test it. Are you using it yourself?

[@MrRapt00r]

@@ronarray Not really by myself, but couple of my friends using spark build are using this, it seems pretty efficent. Since You mention You wouldn't use it for going into pack of enemies. I'd rather use hand of chayula there with some curse tho, but that would give a lot of mobility. I guess it's pretty valid to consider.

[@MrJeden]

How does that work ? Another wpn with blink?

[@Kerotos]

Hi did you Updated your old Guide with out the changes and unique? I was looking the older Version. 😢

[@ronarray]

I heavily recommend you to swap into this version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDXaGujidKImrs you will need just 1 uniques - Ring and a few swaps in the tree. I'm 100% sure you will like it.

Ok I have 2 questions. What level do u go to with ur gems are u maxing them at 20 if u can or are u stopping lower for mana purposes. Also how are u sustaining mana with the new tree withought mental toughness. My storm wave is about 16 base with +7 staff and +2 gloves and it drains my mana. Does mana regen on rings make that big a difference cuz that’s the one thing I’m missing that I can see

[@ehsan20]

I have mana regen on both my rings and my wave costs 200 a cast with this build - I have no idea how he maintains mana based on his gear he should be firing off 3 or 4 and then mana dead but his mana barely moves

[@ronarray]

I've been testing shattering ring for it for some time (about 3 days already) will probably incorporate it in soon. Literally no boss damage? You need better gear man, I double shot most of the staff. You can also use BELL + Flurry for full boss clear too if you struggle (I do not).
