Resistances and Life also apply to armor pieces.
Gloves - attack speed, crit chance is a possibility on later levels with enough passive points to invest into Crit nodes.

Belt - same as above

I first took Expedite and focused purely on Explosive Spear with Overabundance later.
Lightning Spear is up next with gems as displayed above.
Once you get level 5 skill gem take Barrage which will SIGNIFICANTLY boost your single target DPS which you will need especially for first Trial.
First spirit gem from Freythorn Act 1 zone depends whether you want more AoE clear with Herald of Thunder or more on the defensive side with
Wind Dancer OR get
Tame Beast and experiment with some sick Rare modifiers!

Passive Tree
IF charms end up being GOOD with Ritualists Charm Ascendancy we take points around Hunter's Talisman as we can have NONSTOP uptime on those. Added unique charms look actually insane such as Valako's Roar (see poe2db).
Going on the Monk side to get more defensives such as Energy Shield and Evasion is definitely an option. ES is still strong even without Grim Feast.

How it Plays
1. Explosive Spear - HUGE damage dealer that you use with
Barrage on Single target
2. Lightning Spear - absolute AoE clear beast
3. Barrage - empowers your projectile attacks such as 1. and 2.
4. Thunderous Leap - veeery good mobility skill to move around FAST
How it Works
Charges
No Frenzy charge generation yet as current tools would make gameplay too "complex" and much slower. Options to use possibly Endurance charges through Cranial Impact or Break Endurance in combination with
Resonance but still needs some testing.
They are adding "Cull of the Weak" which as the same as Killing Palm in later patches so generation will be much easier.
You can add Electrocute to Lightning Spear at the cost of not being able to use
Herald of Thunder which should still be fine in my opinion as it gives 50% multiplicative damage for Frenzy charge.
