This build can be transitioned to at level 41 when you unlock Whirling Assault. You will want to put this ability into Hollow Form which is an ability we get from our Martial Artist ascendancy.

All other abilities such as Pounce Devour Hollow Focus and others are all Utility based abilities to enhance the main protagonist which is Hollow Form, making this a 1-Button Build.

In the endgame we prefer going for a good Quarterstaff weapon which will give us an insane boost of damage. Something like Nazir's Judgement early on or Duality later on before transitioning to a good Rare Quarterstaff.
For anyone interested in Hollow Palm Technique, here's some info:

Hollow Palm Technique Explanation:

Hollow Palm Technique scales in 3 ways:

Skill Level: The higher your skill level is the better HPT scales. Therefore the higher you are the better
Evasion on Gear: The more EV we have the more Attack Speed we get with HPT.
Energy Shield on Gear: The more ES we have the more Crit we get with HPT.

HPT is simply a node on our tree, its not a Build on it's own. Whether you go for it or not, depends on whether you have the right gear to support it. Finding a really good Quarterstaff will often times out-dps Hollow Palm Technique.

Good Quarterstaff Mods:

Flat Damage (Phys,Light,Cold,Fire)
Increased Damage (Phys, Ele)
+Level of Skills (Melee, Attack)
Crit Hit
Crit Dmg Bonus
Attack Speed

GLOVES:

Lochtonial Caress is a must have especially early on. This enables and gets our build online due to Way of the Stonefist node from our Martial Artist ascendancy.

When equipped Lochtonial Caress will provide us with a chance to get Endurance, Frenzy and Power Charges through our allies, which are the clones we summon from Hollow Form. You want the % chance to be as close to 10% as possible.

WEAPON:

Nazir's Judgement is an incredibly good Quarterstaff to start with. We transition to Whirling Assault at level 41 and the Nazir's Judgement can be equipped at level 40 with 2x Greater Iron Rune for the extra Phys.

You will then want to add a Farrul's Rune of the Hunt which will help us deal more damage to bosses and rares, HOWEVER, this will increase the QS Level Requirement to lvl 50.

Once you're deep into mapping, around Tier 12, you can start looking at good alternatives such as Duality or a Rare Quarterstaff.

Good Quarterstaff Mods:

Flat Damage (Phys,Light,Cold,Fire)
Increased Damage (Phys, Ele)
+Level of Skills (Melee, Attack)
Crit Hit
Crit Dmg Bonus
Attack Speed

You need a TALISMAN on Weapon Set 2.

GEAR:

Body Armour, Helmet & Boots should all be focusing on Evasion and Energy Shield. Some bases can be hybrid, some can be pure EV or pure ES. Based on that, we decide whether we will focus more on Energy Shield Recharge with Convalescence OR Deflection Rating with Wind Dancer

RINGS & AMULET:

On the rings we want as many Flat Damage Mods as possible, while also either capping Resistances, stacking Rarity or getting some Attributes.

On the Amulet we want to get +Level of Skills/Melee Skills, Flat & Increased ES/EV, Resistances and/or Spirit.

SPIRIT: This could be important depending on what path you wanna take. We can get max spirit on Amulet + Body Armour which will allow us to run multiple different Auras such as, Blasphemy Wind Dancer, Ghost Dance, Charge Regulation, Convalescence.

ABILITY TLDR

Hollow Form is our main skill as we add Whirling Assault into it. We will spam this 1-button for all content, which will create clones that will perform the skill we added into it.

Mobility is used so we can speed up in maps with our clear.
Magnified Area II is used to increase the radius of our Clones. In the future we want Vorana's Siege
Blindside is used to increase our damage since we use Blind II on Hollow Focus
5th Support gem could be Efficiency II or Rakiata's Flow depending on your budget.

Hollow Focus is our main utility based auto-ability. This will spawn bells around us that our clones will destroy, applying all utility-based support gems we have in it.

Frost Wall is a nice (not mandatory) touch to the build for bossing. We create the Frost Walls around the boss for our clones to destroy further damaging the boss.

Devour can be used on corpses AND our Bells, to manually gain Charges if needed. We then use Rend to consume a Power Charge in exchange for a Damage Increase Buff. You need a TALISMAN on Weapon Set 2.

Pounce is mainly used for 2 reasons. Mobility and Bossing. We always jump on the boss pre-fight to apply the Marks we have on the ability. You need a TALISMAN on Weapon Set 2.

Blasphemy has Temporal Chains in it which will slow all enemies making it easier for us to survive tense moments. However this could also be paired with Repulsion for an extra aoe Explosion.

Charge Regulation is used for multiple different buffs that increase our damage and speed based off our Charges.

Wind Dancer, Ghost Dance, Convalescence are all defensive layers.

SUPPORT GEM TLDR

AURA MANAGEMENT + SPIRIT REQUIREMENT

Based on your Endgame Progress, you can decide to skip some of these auras and focus on other benefits. For example:

if you have an issue with defense, then you should prioritize the 3 Defensive Auras over Charge Regulation.
If you have mana issues, you could go for Mana Remnants
If you focus more on ES than EV, then prioritize Ghost Dance and Convalescence.
Do the same for Wind Dancer if you prioritize EV.
If you want to slow the enemies down but also increase your clear speed then you can combine Temporal Chains + Repulsion in your Blasphemy

Passive Tree

set 1:

set 2:

WEAPON SETS:

On Weapon set 1 we have our Quarterstaff, which is our main weapon.

On Weapon set 2 we have a Talisman, so we can use abilities like Devour, Rend & Pounce.

We use the passive tree nodes to separate Wep Set 1(RED) and Wep Set 2(GREEN) so we can benefit further on our Devour + Rend combo as we want to extend the Buff we get by getting a few Skill Effect Duration Nodes on the tree for Wep Set 2(Green)

MANA MANAGEMENT:

If you have mana issues you could go for Efficiency II on your Hollow Form OR find a Mana on Kill Sapphire. If you still have issues with mana, you can specc into Efficient Casting
