Mastering the White Monk in Path of Exile 2

Unleash the Power of the Melee + Elemental Wish Meteor Build and Dominate Your Foes!

When we delve into this level 70-80 skill tree, it's clear that its core focuses on enhancing critical strike chance, critical strike multiplier, and overall damage. The monk, using a staff for melee attacks, can fully utilize these boosts, combined with the high damage of Meteor Strike, to form a powerful combination. The Elemental Wish skill accumulates cold energy over time and releases it at critical moments, dealing astonishing damage that most bosses can't withstand. Additionally, this build transitions smoothly, doesn't require specific bound equipment, and has low energy requirements, making it very suitable for new players to try.

In the skill tree, we also find special bonuses against frozen enemies, such as ignoring cold resistance. This means that when facing monsters with resistance auras, we can save a major ascendancy point. The skill tree extension also brings increased base critical strike chance and chest armor evasion, providing strong survival support. Since this build has few bound trigger skills, you can consider adding evasion, shield recovery, and other aura skills later when you have surplus energy on your necklace, further enhancing survival.

Skill Choices

For players who like one-button map clearing, most skills in this build don't require frequent operation, but there are still many skills to choose and match. In the ascendancy order, it is recommended to first add Cold Ground and Unbound Avatar. Note that Unbound Avatar is not an automatic skill and needs to be manually activated when energy is full.

In skill points, we can prioritize skills that increase energy gain to fully utilize the advantage of ignoring frozen enemy resistance. You can also consider adding energy and shock damage increase skills to boost overall output. High evasion chest armor not only provides extra energy but also allows players to activate more aura skills, further enhancing survival and output.

In skill links, Ice Strike, as the core output skill, should be prioritized for 4-link or 5-link. Linked skills include Frostbite, Faster Attacks, Gradual Enhancement, and Weapon Elemental Damage. Elemental Wish is recommended to link with Comet, Spell Echo, Arcane Surge (or Concentrated Effect for single target), Inspiration to reduce mana cost, and Energy Reservation. Additionally, the Bell of Wrath is also a core part of the build, which can be linked with Rage Spring, Mana Spring, and Rage to enhance its power and duration.

Attributes and Equipment

In terms of attribute points, prioritize 133 Intelligence to unlock Ice Meteor Strike, then allocate Dexterity and Strength as needed. For equipment, a high-damage weapon is crucial, and if it has attack speed and accuracy, even better. The rest of the gear doesn't require specific legendary items and can be adjusted to supplement resistance, health, etc. Gloves can add some output attributes, and the armor can be pure evasion or evasion + energy shield, depending on your needs.

For equipment affixes, prioritize high physical damage weapons, supplemented with weapon attack speed and skill levels. If the weapon has critical strike chance, that's even better. A bit of accuracy is also beneficial. Although it's hard to find perfect weapons at this stage, you can create a suitable build by choosing reasonably based on your needs and budget.

Late-Game Optimization

In the late game, if you have surplus energy, consider adding a defensive aura skill to enhance survival. You can also further optimize and upgrade your equipment to improve overall attributes and output. Additionally, adjust and optimize the build based on game updates and changes to maintain its competitiveness and playability.

Summary

The Path of Exile 2 White Monk advanced build—Melee + Elemental Wish Meteor—is not only powerful in output and survival but also transitions smoothly and doesn't require specific bound equipment. It's very suitable for players who like to explore and try new playstyles. I hope this guide provides some useful references and insights for everyone!
