This is the BEST early game Monk build in Path of Exile 2! This setup will make your playthrough feel way easier thanks to its ability to stun bosses quickly, lightning charged melee attacks that get increasingly more powerful the more aggressive you play and powerful AOE potential which makes mob clearing feel effortless. If you selected the Monk as your first class and you want to feel incredibly powerful in the early game, this is the perfect video for you!
Killing Palm can be considered a mobility skill since it allows you to dash towards enemies and close gaps and it's also an unarmed attack that grants a Power Charge if you kill an enemy with it. Whenever an enemy has a blue mark above them, that enemy can be instantly killed with a Killing Palm to receive a Power Charge.
Falling Thunder creates a small AOE attack in front of your character which is capable of hitting multiple targets at once. Every time you kill an enemy with Killing Palm, you’ll stack up to 3 power charges which can then be consumed by Falling Thunder to increase the damage, range and AOE of the spell. So basically, whenever you’re clearing mobs, your main priority should be to always have power charges active before casting Falling Thunder. They’re very easy to stack and with the right gems you can maximize the potential of Falling Thunder by unlocking extra perks like a small chance to not even consume power charges when casting Falling Thunder or even the ability to stack multiple charges with a single strike. These 2 skills synergize incredibly well with each other and will play a big role when clearing mobs. The only downside to this skill combo is the fact that it’s not very useful during boss fights unless the boss is occasionally throwing mobs at you to help you stack those energy charges. In 1 on 1 situations though, you won’t have any way to stack energy charges so in these instances, its best to focus on your other skill combo, Tempest Bell and Tempest Fury.
Tempest Bell is one of the BEST skills for the Monk. This skill places a giant resonating bell on the ground that deals AOE damage to all enemies around it when hit. The bell can be hit with your staff and it can also be hit with your elemental abilities from range which will cause the elemental effects to spread around the area and CC enemies in the process. The Tempest Bell is also really good for stunning bosses and the easiest way to stun bosses quickly and spread lightning at the same time is to pair Tempest Bell with Tempest Fury. This skill duo is very deadly and extremely effective against mobs and bosses making it your most versatile skill combo. Tempest Fury lets you execute a series of aggressive lightning infused strikes allowing you to call down a powerful shocking bolt at the end of the combo. In order to put a Tempest Bell on the ground, you have to strike an enemy 4 times. Tempest Fury will allow you to execute those strikes very quickly which means your Tempest Bell will constantly be available. The Tempest Fury strikes will also spread AOE damage fast since you’ll be striking the bell quickly while also spreading lightning which debuffs enemies, causing them to take 20% increased damage.
