Which build is more optimized for invoker monk? (newbie)
Currently using this build atm
Not using this one

It seems that a lot of people are going for invoker monk with charged staff and ice strike but are both really necessary? Should I just focus thunder or ice and not both? Are these builds decent or should I use some other ones?
Also currently lvl 45, also wondering if i should focus evasion or shield for the future, rn using a ghostwrithe tattered robe
Comments
Charge Staff buff a lot of damage for other skill, helping clear maps faster due to its range.
For endgame, both ES and evasion is avaiable, but evasion or evasion+ES is cheaper and tankier at low investment
The other builds are pretty similar to this but I feel like this one explains things better in a way that a newbie can understand and gives you a clear progression from levelling to mapping to endgame with separate builds when you hit certain milestones. It's easy to read and gives solid advice.

Has a written version in video description
İ am lvl 83 and following this guide mainly … only changes are i drop grim feast and take mediate to have double energy shield more consistently then grim feast… (you also need to drop the flask fills energy shield cos then meditate dosesnt work) and also use infusion with ball lightning scattershot to ring the bell crazy
İ tried maxrolls … raxx s … dons … before and my problem was dying a lot more which kept me from levelling … (these guides are more SC oriented so with better gear might be better later on)
Atm i am doing lvl13 maps (could do higher probably but i just want to level more consistently until 90 and dying loses a ton of xp)
This build doesnt take any crit nodes but i havent missed it so far tbh
