Tempest Flurry Monk Leveling Build

The Invoker Ascendancy excels for Monks specializing in cold and lightning damage, particularly with Tempest Flurry. The following skill setup ensures efficient clearing and high damage output.

Tempest Flurry Skill
Tempest Flurry Skill Gem
Skill Support Gems Notes
Tempest Flurry Martial Tempo, Electrocute, Rage Main DPS skill. Electrocute maintains infinite Power Charges.
Falling Thunder Ambush, Perpetual Charge, Combo Finisher Clears large groups; Combo Finisher for boss burst damage.
Charged Staff Persistence, Innervate, Primal Armament, Conduction Core damage source; maintain this buff constantly.
Tempest Bell Concentrated Effect, Overabundance Excellent boss killer.
Herald of Thunder Cold Infusion, Ice Bite Lightning bolts freeze enemies (via Cold Infusion), boosting Power Charges.
Combat Frenzy Profusion Generates Frenzy Charges on freeze/electrocute/pin; synergizes with Resonance.

Power Charge Generation

The build relies on Combat Frenzy and Resonance (passive skill) combined with Cold Infused Herald of Thunder and Electrocute Tempest Flurry for consistent Power Charge generation. Resonance converts Frenzy Charges into Power Charges.

Alternatively, Profane Ritual can replace the Frenzy/Resonance combo, paired with Cast on Shock or Cast on Freeze for automatic Power Charge generation. Early on, Killing Palm or Siphoning Strike generate charges for Falling Thunder. Use Siphoning Strike against bosses for Power Charge generation.

Acquiring additional Spirit allows using Herald of Ice for increased freeze potential.

Tempest Flurry Invoker Passives

Your initial four Ascendancy points should allocate to I Am Thunder and I Am Blizzard. This maximizes Power Charges while boosting damage and crowd control. Later, choose And I Shall Rage (for burning bosses with Unbound Avatar) or Sunder my Enemies (for enhanced critical hits).

Recommended Gear

This build emphasizes Elemental damage and Ailments. Prioritize a Quarterstaff with high base DPS and Cold/Lightning damage. For survivability, focus on armor with Evasion and Energy Shield. Dexterity and Intelligence are key; avoid Strength-based gear. Ideal stats include:

  • Physical damage
  • Lightning damage added to attacks
  • Cold damage added to attacks
  • Attack Speed
  • Accuracy Rating
  • Maximum Life
  • Evasion
  • Energy Shield
  • Elemental resistances

This build provides a strong foundation for a powerful and enjoyable Path of Exile 2 experience. Remember to adapt and optimize your gear and skill choices as you progress through the game.
