0.5: Hollow Form Whirling Bells - Monk Endgame

Hollow Form is one of the strongest Monk builds to set up early as it is incredible cheap to build, massively overpowered, and can get you straight into T15 with very little set up. On top of this, it is also one of the easiest builds to play at endgame.

The build is built around the following mechanics:

Hollow Form:

We use Hollow Form and socket into that Whirling Assault, so that we just hold down Hollow Form to summon a giant swarm of astral projections that whirl around and damage everything on screen.

We combine this with Tempest Bell, Hollow Focus and Hollow Resonance to have an absolute legion of bells on screen. so that our whirling projections are hitting summoned bells, placed bells and even a bell on our back for insane amounts of damage.

Charges:

This build is also heavily reliant on charge generation, as we use power charges to summon our Hollow Form, but this is completely solved thanks to Lochtonial Caress. These gloves, when combined with Way of the Stonefist, mean that our summoned projections grant us every single type of charge.

Given that we have every single charge constantly being generated, we can also use Charge Regulation to gain huge buffs from these charges at all times.

I just got to endgame this is so confusing!?:

1. Get Hollow Form as your ascendancy, you can respect at Doryani for gold. you need 4 total points.
2. Craft the following gems out of uncut skill gems
3. 1. Whirling Assault
   2. Charge Regulation
   3. Wind Dancer
3. Put Whirling Assault into Hollow Form. and have Charge Regulation and Wind Dancer as your 2 spirit abilities.
4. Buy a very cheap Lochtonial Caress, or try to chance them from these are 2-3 exalts right now. (if you are SSF these come from the Tempered Mitts base item).
5. Buy any basic talisman in your 2nd weapon slot, even a lvl 1 cheap basic one is fine. Click the option for wyvern once equipped, this will give you Rend within your skill gems.

That is the basics, you're good to start mapping! fill out passive tree, support gems, etc as you go. Also come ask any questions live at: https://www.twitch.tv/medievalmarty

This is a very easy to build with very little buttons. Perfect for dad games, players with sore wrists, or those that don't want to be playing a piano symphony every time we load into a map. If you want to chill its 1 button, if you want to pump its 3-4.

1. Hold down Hollow Form and everything around you just gets melted instantly. And then just walk or roll into the next pack of mobs and do it all again. If you want to chill, this is all you need to do.
2. Press Rend when you have power charges for a damage boost.
3. Dive into enemies with Shattering Palm to apply an ice damage shatter effect to them.
4. Every 4 Shattering Palm lets us throw down a Tempest Bell. good for bosses or spicy elite mobs.
