FIRST. Was in your streams during the refinding of the build. Well done Ron! Looking forward to try this build after I've completed my BM.

[@ronarray]

You are actually first haha! Thank you for the support man, will hit for survivability next! How BM is doing tho?

[@Regis_TV]

@@ronarray swapped some stuffs out, making it more tanky; damage is fine but a little more refining and she should slap pinnacle bosses easily. :)

Thanks a lot ronarray! I really enjoy the build, already level 83 and the build keeps on giving! :D

Good evening, I'm using your build and watching all the videos, well done!!! But after today's video, my character doesn't accumulate energy charges and I don't understand what I did wrong... Could you give me a hint?

I love this build very much, thank you.

[@athena4175]

Hello! Just found your monk build, i was wondering if it would be possible to incorporate flicker strike into this? even if a little less dps, zooming around the map would be worth it.

[@ebrian1978]

Continue to love your build and I am slowly getting online. I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind posting in the written guide what to prioritize if you're like me (and probably most players) and only have 2 ascendancies.

[@safadoganayselim6108]

Can you do a video while doing crafts? Still couldn't figure out how should i create a strategy while crafting.

[@ronarray]

Craft is kind of random and mostly used to clicking A LOT of bases and hope for the best.

[@BenedictJWolfe]

Are you planning to update the build guide/ make a new one? I find it super helpful to be able to refer to it on my second monitor whenever i need. Amazing work! Cheers!

[@ronarray]

Thank you for the support, the guide is updated and should be very close to the video now.

Damn it's so nice! Will you update the mobalitics build? :3

[@ronarray]

Yeah, I will surely do that a little later.

[@dj_ayen]

Nice damage, but you dont have a lot of defences anymore? I am trying different way by getting high dexterity so i get a lot out of the 1% as for every 15 dexterity node and taking the evasion nodes from the tryangle. But still trying it out right now. Need to level my monk to habe some stats about that.

[@ronarray]

I will cover survivability in the next video I think! For now it was dmg.

[@RickCarleton]

Should be lightning.

[@arkonite4283]

thank you vm for your builds!im playing with it and it feels very cool and comfortable! can u answer me pls, why you dont use conductivity curse instead of temporal chains?

[@MarceloYuri]

People often use temporal chains as a 'defensive' curse. If you feel like you don't need it and want more damage, you can aways change. That is how I would go.

[@uctrung8853]

How can you continuously have charge power per hit bro ?

do you think there can be a ES focused CI version of this build?

[@Majin0Boo]

You should try Charg infusion work very well with combat frenzy since you will have power charge all the time significate lift DPS too!! Love your video keep it up!!

[@BabaYaga_98]

Bro, i try to use charg infusion but i was not getting charge i dont know why!

[@check9094]

Hi, if you could expand your tooltip for storm wave that would be great. I'd like to see how much damage you do per hit vs. how much attack speed is contributing. Thanks

[@ronarray]

Yeah, that's a good idea! I'll do that in the next update! (I'm planning to have one out soon). You can also ask me Live on twitch.

[@xMafo]

what about taking echoing flames and pairing it with the Radiant Grief Lace Hood unique for extra elemental damage instead of echoing thunder??

@@martinkrause247 once the content starts feeling hard you should upgrade the worst items in your set. Also as a low level a good weapon is the most important thing followed by elemental resistances and life on armour i would say which can help a lot.

im confused, im getting endurance charges with resonance, shouldn't the frenzy charges be converting to power charges? what am i missing? do we need the endurance charges for something?

If you are getting Endurance it means you keep generation power charges with some particular generator. Look into supports / items .

Question, why is my spirit so low despite having the ascendancy points do i need more ES and ER ratings on my armours?

You need big amount of evasion AND energy shield ONLY on body armor. You cannot get spirit from other sources.

​@@yeetusmaximus93those nodes won't do anything for your spirit. The ascendancy only accounts what is coming from the chest itself (including quality, affixes and runes)

@ShafiMB yeah I'm stuck at 89 spirit. No runes. Gloves with evasion do nothing. So is it just based off chest itself? Body armor is thought meant every part boots gloves helmet? I'm so confused. I'm very mid in act 3 and I'm like 43. I feel weak compared to what I'm seeing as monk
