Monk Attribute Stacking Questions!

03

Hi all -

I have a relatively well geared invoker stat stacker monk (200-300 Div) that I'm trying to push as high as I can go. I had a few questions that I couldn't find information on. Can someone help a brother monk out?

What should be my attribute point distribution? I currently have int highest, and then Dex/Str appx 10% behind adjusting for HOWA and Pillar breakpoints.

Has anyone tried not capping res? I'm currently saving for an Astramentis, but am concerned what's going to happen to my resistances once I lose them off of my current amulet.

Herald of Ice subsitution for Simulacrum +4s? Is HoI still useless in sim +4? I can still clear it relatively easily, but I'm wondering if I should be swapping out HoI for something else during a sim run. I'm currently using this skill setup: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/068600zo

I'm just trying to gather information! Any advice/info helps. Thank you.

What is your body armour? Most people cap res with the Morior Invictus.

It's probably worth experimenting to maximize your Strength since you receive both pillar damage as well as energy shield from the vorana time-lost jewel. Try swapping all of your travel gems to Strength and see what that looks like.

Getting gear with double socket is underrated as you can fill in the resistance gap that way without overcapping much.
Double socket helemt and boots with Morior would be a great start.
16% all res on the breach rings would help a bunch too since you're running ingenuity.

Ice wall + spell cascade on your CoS is a fantastic defensive layer on Simulacrum as it acts as a distraction and can often wall off mobs from getting to you at all. Highly recommend

I think im the only one building dex as my main stat lol. When you get bored of str/int build try dex. Zoom across the map in seconds insane atk speed from tempest fury
