------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the most promising and fun league starter in this league. I planning to use the new martial artist ascendancy and Hollow Form Technique notable with Whirling Assault. You will need constantly generate power charges to able to use this because every second of channeling you will consume one charge.

Updates

Day 1 update: Day 1

Day 2 update: Day 2

What Martial Artist give us?

• Hollow Form Technique (you can use almost any attack skill with this)
• Way of the Stonefist. Your gloves will transform in to a much powerfull item. Currently the modifiers unkow which one transform to what.
• Hollow Focus Technique. Ghost bells this one is cullable and stunable. Good for sustaining charges, rage
• Hollow Resonance Technique. Another bell, everytime you deal a crit this bell will damage around you. Good for utility! Blind, exposure, shock and rage build up as well.

Ascendancy order for now

1. Way of the Stonefist (depends on the mods but maybe on low level will be insane)
2. Hollow Focus Technique. Ghost bells
3. Hollow Resonance Technique. The big bell when you deal a crit
4. Hollow Form Technique

The last can be flexiable. Depends how it will feel to use the Hollow Form Technique

When can i use whirling assault?

This skill is the very end of the campaign and even after avaible its not that good early on and you would need to swap around to much. Just complete the campaign with the leveling setup! When you have a good weapon you can swap to Whirling Assault.

How to generate power charges?

In the early and mid game: Devour you can gain full power charges almost instantly after you kill a pack of monsters!
