[0.5] WHIRLING Trinity Martial Artist Monk Build - League Starter to Endgame

📝Crafting Guide - youtu.be/rQ0kydfdesI

❗GEAR ABOVE SHOULD BE USED AS THE EXAMPLE OF STATS YOU MIGHT NEED

▸ What kind of Weapon to use:

Quarterstaff

For Quarterstaff we can use Double or Triple elemental version, so prefixes should contain 2 or 3 flat stats with elemental damage, most of the time Fire and Cold is in the priority.

Last prefix could be elemental stat as well or just "increased Elemental Damage with Attacks"

As Suffixes, Aim to get at least +3 levels to melee skills and some crit chance / crit damage.

What about Hollow Palm Technique?

Hollow Palm can be a solid option even in the endgame but it will require more testing to confirm it can beat the staff.

Equip any Talisman (like Alpha Talisman for example) in the second weapon slot if you want to use Rend to get a damage buff. (Might NOT be necessary!)

▸ Armour options

Gloves

Since Martial Artist Monk build can use Way of the Stonefist it is pretty important to roll the gloves for some particular stats.

Perfectly we will need to have Flat Physical Damage to attacks + 2 Flat Elemental Damage to Attacks (cold, fire and Lightning) as prefixes so Way of the Stonefist will give us Dame as Extra for Each.

Getting Arcane Surge on Crit (It is Desecrated Modifier) is also pretty important because it will be transformed to Power Charges on Crit which will make generation MUCH easier!

Body Armour

• Get Hybrid Sleek Jacket with base Evasion / Energy Shield As High as you can.
• Deflection % as a suffix is recommended, if you dont have it on body, get one on boots
• Rest is just resistances

Boots

• Focus on getting as high movement speed as possible, preferably 35%, after that, just focus on high combination of EV + ES.
• Get as many Resistances as you can + Deflection (especially if you don't have it on body).

▸ Jewellery

Amulet

❗Important: You will need to get at least 60 Spirit on your Amulet to use all auras. If you dont have enough, drop Herald of Ash

• + 3 melee skills for more damage is very good to have
• Defensive stats like Global Defences, More ES from Body, Increased Maximum ES
• Instill Subterfuge Mask (it is nerfed but still provides good upside)

Rings

• Focus on getting as much damage to attacks on the rings as you can
• MANA Leech is nice to have on one of the rings to feel better with mana situation
• Take Resistances to the cap

Belt

For the belt I recommend to use Shavronne's Satchel, it is the best option for CI or ES Based builds because in a combination with instant Life Flask or with Olroth's Resolve can regenerate your energy shield with flask spam.

❗IMPORTANT: For Shavronne's Satchel to work properly, your flask SHOULD have Instant recovery modifier. Look at the flask above for example.

Headhunter is another belt option but since it can be expensive, go for it only in Uber Endgame version.

▸ Jewel Stats

Rares Jewels: Maximum Energy Shield + Critical damage bonus is the main goal there.

At least 1 jewel should also have "recover 2% of Maximum Mana on Kill".

Elemental Damage % is also a nice addition.

For Heart of the Well: you NEED Damage as Extra Cold + Any other extra, Other 2 sats can be stun threshold related.
