How do I finish my Hollow Form Whirling Assault Monk?
So, I started this character on 0.5 league start but left pretty early on and only came back today to play some more and had some questions.
I initially started with Ronarray's Monk on league start and then swapped over to Jungroan's Monk build.
After coming back, I crafted a pretty decent pair of gloves that had Arcane Surge on Critical Hit which gets converted to Power Charge on Crit from Martial Artist's Way of the Stonefist Ascendancy Node. However, in maps I realized I was not generating any power charges and after importing into PoB I realized it was due to low/zero crit chance on Hollow Form.
My main questions are:
- Is there any way to make these gloves work or am I stuck with using Lochtonial Caress for smooth Power Charge Generation? (Apart from Killing Palm on Bells ofc)
- How do I go about minmaxing my character? Endgame gearing has never been my strong suit, and this was the first time I attempted to veer off of a guide (with the gloves), and it led me nowhere lol. So, what should my upgrade path be, both defensively and offensively, if I want to keep upgrading this character as much as possible?
- How do I fix mana issues. I can't seem to figure out a way to fix mana with this build without looking for a Mana on Kill mod on rings but if someone has a more efficient way in mind please let me know
Edit:
I have come to find out that it isn't that Hollow Form has low/zero crit chance but that despite inheriting character's crit chance, it does not trigger on-crit effects. So another solution I have in my head is to also have a normal Whirling Assault and use that to generate power charges for Hollow Form
