Dr. Grubbly's Notes
Thanks for checking out this off-meta build guide for Acolyte of Chayula Monk using Darkness and quarterstaff skills (Frozen Locus + Shattering Palm). If you're looking for an alternative to spear skills, want a pure monk, and love the dark edge-lord tone of Acolyte, you're in the right place! While this build is not for everyone, I find it lots of fun, and hope that those who try it enjoy it as much as I have been. It also is what carried me through HC for the first (and 2nd and 3rd) time, and would have taken me further if it had been after the nerfs to Volatile Plants/Cores. Huge shoutout to @BlazeworksTV for the absolutely sick thumbnail! Huge shoutout to @skart1 for the video editing! Also huge shoutout to @sarge2254 for his Frozen Locus Shattering Palm Invoker build which helped in inspire me for this. Check out both of their channels as well, they're great!
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below, or hop into Discord or my Twitch during a stream.
And finally, just remember: I made this guide before Acolyte was meta with the buffs coming in 0.3! (copium) #pathofexile2 #buildguide #poe #poe2 #offmeta #monk
