Any smart builders willing to take a look at my invoker monk / storm wave flicker strike build? Few divs as a tip for anything that can help solve my main issues/questions!
https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Reaper-6925/AncestralMonk?i=1&search=name%3DAncestral Hey! This build isn’t my main, it’s a thrown-together hybrid of a couple of builds I’ve seen, and I was playing around with the uniques on the gear and skill gems. The build is fun, it’s strong, it’s tanky, and it clears with ease. I just don’t fight bosses with it. I haven’t managed to figure out how to implement bossing tech into the build yet. I’ve mainly been focusing on clear and getting Flicker to be more sustainable. If anyone is familiar with a build like this, I’d love some thoughts on how to gain more power charges, sustain Flicker longer, and possibly figure out how to turn this into a T4 boss killer too. I’m pretty happy with the gear I have on. I’d like to keep the chest but can swap later if I sell some stuff for a new expensive chest if it’s really needed. The Headhunter and the helmet I’d like to keep at the bare minimum. The amulet was just thrown on for rarity; I’m thinking maybe find something with more crit chance? Maybe a different anoint? For the quarterstaff, I can’t find anything better on the market unless there are different modifiers that will work better. I’m willing to get different rings; those are just what I had on hand from farming T4 Xesht on my main. This is how I play the character: 1: Storm Wave for clear and to gain charges 2: Trigger Charged Staff for damage, consuming charges 3: Continue to clear with Storm Wave to gain 3 power charges 4: Trigger Flicker to consume all charges 5: Trigger Charged Staff as Flicker cools down, as well as Unbound Avatar for more damage 6: Repeat So, my issues are: 1: Flicker doesn’t always work? I trigger it with a bunch of mobs around and have 3 power charges, but it only hits a mob or two. Sometimes it even just swings at a single mob and doesn’t do anything, and then I have to wait for more charges and wait for Flicker to cooldown. 2: I don’t have anything set up for big bosses. I can clear tough rare mobs no problem with Storm Wave but would like to kill t4s. 3: I’d like more than 3 power charges if that’s possible? 4: I’d also like to reduce Flicker’s cooldown. One of the builds I took inspiration from early on had Flicker with no cooldown, but I don’t remember how or why. 5: I’m not sure I’m using the right skill gems/support gems. I kinda just threw some in from a couple different builds. So I’d like to optimize all the gems/supports. 6: The build is pretty mana hungry, so mana on kill is pretty important. If there are some other options for that I might be missing or not thinking of. Any pro tips to help round out the build would be greatly appreciated! I can tip a few divs if your info helps the build! Reply or message me with your IGN and I’ll whisper you for your tip! I’ll be on the next couple days, but then I won’t be able to play for about a week. If I miss you, I’ll still try and reach out to you when I’m back!
