Playing pretty much this, as another layer of def you can put blind on shattering palm and it will blind every mob on the first aoe hit and every one with the explosions

[Zizaran]

Bit of a different video, let us know what you think about this concept!
You can find a link to the passive tree in the description.

This is exactly what I was aiming for. But I lack the knowledge to make it work. Cool to see, I will try to follow the guide. Good stuff :)

[nikkosmit]

Just a personal tip: If you don’t want to try and build up rage first before using bell, there’s a support gem, forget the name, which gives 40% more damage at the cost of adding a 10 sec cooldown to the skill. Considering how little you use the bell, and that the cooldown starts after you place it, it’s negligible

[Tomz]

Please do a full guide to follow up this build! Its great.

[RealFlaery]

Definitely recommend "and protect me from harm" ascendancy.
I went from 80% evasion to 72 and gained 61% phys dmg reduction which was just night and day difference

[AdamColladoJ]

I've been playing a non-crit variation of this build. I love it. It feels fast, but not so fast that you lose control.

Bro finally a good frost monk build. I have been struggling trying to do it on my own.

[ScapaScapa]

Doing something very similar. Try out cast on freeze with Frost Wall. And link that to mana font. Gives you a lot of crystals to dash to and also blocks enemies from attack you and pulls aggro.

[Fiyawerx]

Killing palm is a great 'teleport all over' skill (even without the cull / charges) early on before you get shattering.

[ExiledVessel]

Just an FYI since I played around with this tech too, the power charges you generate happen at a rate higher than charge infusion's consumption, if he wants to continue using charged staff it's going to be painful.

Hi Zizaran, Thank you very much for posting this! I started with monk + lightning, but was not so happy with it at the beginning. Then switched to ice strike and after building up some attack speed it started to feel incredibly strong. After watching this video I´m looking forward to have a very cool, fast and strong build when I reach the endgame.

[XavierShade]

Good job skryah! I'm definitely trying that build out. I was just starting to lose interest in my Monk because of how the early skills felt but, now I'm excited to keep pushing him.

[foureight]

This is one of the most fun monk builds to play. I've tried several so far and this is very balanced and the mobility is freaking great. Good work!

[Bruetl]

Try using conc effect in your ice strike setup, its 40% more damage and I can’t notice the reduced aoe of it

[NastyJuice]

Please release some updated info on this build!:) It's really good!

[MrStarguy]

Thank you so much for uploading this, I've been trying to build this myself blind as a new player, exact playstyle, skills and everything

[ZanarkandFFX]

Started off as a Frost Monk, so it's nice to see that people show love. Most Monks i see go the lightning route
