Monk Storm Wave ~35-45div, optimized for mapping, not attributes stacker, just gloves

Why would you need this?
For fun, especially after finishing Delirium! https://youtu.be/LZ8BWbdH6F8 If you primarily enjoy running maps fast, clearing Breach packs with a single button, and don’t want to go into a stacker build, then consider this setup. Why did I decide to publish this? While optimizing the build, I watched several guides on YouTube and didn’t quite understand many of their decisions—both in terms of budget and damage/survivability balance. My setup is quite flexible, easy to replicate, and all the gear is readily available—except for Megalomaniac (I’ll explain that later). It works even with worse gear than mine, and mine is far from perfect. PoB: The one I recorded the video with, using five-links: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/v767c0ye Further optimizations: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/fxtm010o Item Links Adjust according to your budget. If you’re interested, I can explain the item selection logic in more detail. Weapon Look for high physical DPS. "Increased elemental damage" is very good, and "flat fire damage" is also excellent. I bought several weapons for 5-10 divines. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/0gaaZdeug Helmet https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Gpm2b4bhb Body Armour https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/De4pG95t5 Amulet https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/e9JLezWTL Belt https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/PkyM6WqFL Rings Pick up resistances as needed—I literally found mine on the ground, no joke. I recommend taking Megalomaniac with Inner Faith and a second useful node—having just one isn't worth it. I have Overflowing Power. There are many useful nodes you can pick from. My item rarity is 150%, and you can increase it further quite easily with a higher budget or by replacing a unique ring with a rare one that has rarity and resistances, freeing up other gear slots. Other Gear Considerations
Spoiler
Stack resistances, rarity, and whatever else you need. Ideally, get some Strength somewhere so you don’t have to allocate points for it in the tree. Evasion boots are significantly cheaper than Energy Shield ones—you can sacrifice some ES in exchange for evasion. Ideally, go for hybrid ES/Evasion boots. One of your jewels should have "% of Mana recovered on Kill"; ideally, it should also include "% of maximum Energy Shield as additional Stun Threshold." A unique jewel for better mobility (6% movement speed and reduced slow effects) is nice but not mandatory. As for Megalomaniac, I’d recommend getting the Inner Faith notable—Curse Effect Reduction, ES, and Evasion. Since I run exclusively corrupted maps, this is just for comfort. If Megalomaniac doesn’t have a second useful node, it’s not needed. There are plenty of good nodes available. If you don’t have fire damage on your ring or weapon, Invocation won’t work properly. However, this isn’t a big issue for maps—it can be solved with six passive points and anointment for extra fire damage, a hybrid chest with a different anointment, a second socketed ring, or a Megalomaniac with nodes like Volcanic Skin or Burning Strikes. Mapping I run maps without Delirium—I don’t like the lag and visual effects (gray screen and reduced visibility). For demonstration, I ran a Citadel with Delirium. I don’t swap rings for bosses or enable Winter Orb—this is just to show that the damage is sufficient even with worse gear, but with some adjustments: https://youtu.be/CgkQY6RLkw0 https://youtu.be/1zs_9R159mM Bossing T16 K'Sesh 4—done poorly (I killed bosses for Atlas progression, but I don’t usually do this, so I lack practice). It is what it is. It should be clear by now—I don’t recommend bossing with this setup. It requires ramp-up time, and the damage isn’t that high. But hey, you can clear maps with a single button! https://youtu.be/d5EVIdBVJUE T16 K'Sesh with an updated setup—still not an ideal ramp-up (the ring should have a socket and mana leech). I swap Inspiration into Eye of Winter and trigger it with Cast on Crit. https://youtu.be/d5EVIdBVJUE This is a translation by ChatGPT, thanks to it.
