Hello, welcome back to a new video.

Today I'll be showing you my Monk

Lightning leveling build for ultra insane

damage and easily leveling of killing

loads of creatures very quickly in a very

rapid style.

So basically going to be using a few

skills, going to be using the Killing Palm

combined with the Falling Thunder and

maybe some Tempest Bell here and there to

do some AoE crowd control.

So for Lightning Falling Thunder, we're

going to put 3 gems onto it.

We're going to put Heft, it's going to

give you 30% more maximum physical damage.

So this converts physical damage into

lightning damage, and that's going to give

you 30% more maximum physical damage.

And we're also going to put on Close

Combat, that's going to give you 25% more

attack damage.

We're enemies are within 1 meter of you.

And we're also going to get Elemental

Focus, going to give you 25% more

elemental damage, and that's going to just

give you more damage when you do lightning

damage.

And also we're going to be using Killing

Palm.

So basically Killing Palm is going to

finish off your enemies when they're very

low on health, and they're going to have a

little floaty symbol above their head when

they're ready for Killing Palm.

And basically what Killing Palm does, it

gives you like a floaty orb thing which

makes your Falling Thunder do even more

damage.

And also we're going to put on Profusion

onto it, has 50% chance to grant an an

additional charge.

So that will give us an additional charge.

So if we make one charge, we'll use one,

but if we have the additional charge,

we'll have a second one to use.

So we can do 2 bonus damage Falling

Thunders twice instead of just once.

And then we've also got Tempest Bell.

So that's going to drop a bell, and we can

strike the bell, and that can do stun

damage against enemies around the bell.

And then we've also got Overpower for

that, gives you 50% more stun buildup and

40% more area effect.

And then for the Quarterstaff Strike,

we're just going to put on 25% more attack

speed and increased crit chance every

second up to 100% until you crit.

So that is gems.

And for the build, uh, basically just go

into a 50/50 split of evasion and energy

shield and get Step Like Mist.

And also get some damage buffs like

increased skill speed, crit damage bonus,

and get this one, Flow Like Water.

We don't really have enough points yet,

but I'm basically going to go into this

branch to get the damage bonuses and get

these and maybe something in lightning.

Okay, so the way you play the game is like

this.

Monk is quite an interesting class because

you've got stuff like Falling Thunder.

Okay, so I managed to get to level 12

pretty quickly.

Holy crap, it's a lot.

Oh my God.

So you see a little blue floaty thing?

You can do a teleportation move like that

with your palm strike, and then you follow

up with massive damage Well, that's not

very massive because that's like a yellow

boss guy.

Probably gonna die here.

We'll do a Tempest Belt and then that's

gonna stun them AOE.

And try not to get hit too many times and

keep rolling because that's what Monk's

all about.

Do a boosted Falling Thunder.

You know it's boosted because the

lightning strikes further than usual.

And then we want to

Put Tempest Bell, Palm Strike.

Palm Strike instantly kills them when

they're ready for Palm Strike.

That will instantly kill them.

And this guy is really battering me hard

here.

God, he's tough.

Jesus Christ, look how tough this guy is.

He's barely taking any damage and he's

doing loads of his own damage.

I'm gonna try and stun him here.

Yeah, I just can't do enough damage and

I've got no potions.

Maybe I do a sneaky and I teleport back to

the town.

Can I do that?

Oh, oh, come on, I clicked on the fucking

portal!

What do you mean I'm dead?

He would have dropped some good loot as

well.

Anyway, that would have been easy if I had

any potions left.

Also bear in mind

This is a level 15 area, I think.

Let me check.

Where am I?

Level 14 area.

I'm only level 12, so considering I got

past the level 15 boss as a level 12

person

means I'm, I'm ahead of the game so far

because my build's so good.

Okay, so I go down here.

Anything go down there?

Oh, yellow chest.

Was that it?

That's rubbish.

If it's a yellow chest, they should put

something good in it.

Just a stupid orb.

God, I hate it when they surround you like

that.

I can't move.

What?

God, this game is so stupid sometimes.

Okay,

they do so much damage.

What the hell?

These are just normal mobs.

I have to keep spamming my potions,

otherwise I'll just die.

Yeah, the bell thing's good when you get

mobs around it and you don't die straight

away.

These crossbow guys, they do so much

damage.

Okay, well, I'm out of potions already

because I just have to keep spamming the

potions all the time.

I just need to level up a bit more, I

think, so I'm a bit stronger.

This is insane.

What?

I've nearly leveled up.

I need another level.

This level's destroying me.

Oh my God, what is this?

Why are they doing so much damage?

Oh, there you go.

What?

My damage is rubbish.

Okay, yeah,

the bell thing's pretty nice.

I keep accidentally not doing the palm

strike.

Kind of reminds me of Elden Ring's monk.

Everyone's got a bloody monk character

now.

Oh my God, I'm dead.

Why is my potion not healing me very

quickly?

I think I need a new potion or something.

God, I'm dead.

Yeah, I need a new potion because it's

like healing me really slowly.

That's why I have to spam the potions,

because he's barely doing anything.

Okay, so I'm probably gonna need,

hmm,

increased skill.

Maybe I'll go for defensive stuff,

like I get that, increase my

survivability.

And see if there's a better flask in the

vendors.

Well, maybe he's got a better

quarterstaff.

Ooh, maybe I'll try another one.

I don't know.

Oh, whoa!

25 to 41 physical damage and 1 to 9

lightning damage.

That's exactly what I wanted.

That's like more than double the damage my

old staff was doing.

I should be able to do way more damage

now.

And then I want a flask.

I don't even have any gloves or rings.

What the hell?

Give me 2 rings.

Oh, did it actually buy it?

So I got increased cold damage.

Now increase physical and lightning

damage.

Yes, please.

Get another ring.

Mana or increase rarity of items found.

I'll keep that.

I only need an amulet.

Oh, 15 strength, maximum mana, cold

resistance.

No, uh, maximum energy shield, increased

armor.

Yeah.

Oh wait, oh, I need level 14.

Try a different one.

That needs level 8.

I'm gonna waste all my money here.

I can't get any more.

It's like you only get a certain amount of

random stuff before you can't get any more

random stuff.

I also don't have any gloves.

That's weird.

I can't buy any more ramble random stuff

anymore.

Let me see if he's got gloves.

Um, what gloves?

Accuracy, mana, or adds 1 to 14 lightning

damage.

That'd be nice.

Good thing I've got loads of gold.

And what else can we get?

Level 6 boots.

I think we're good.

I want to test out that new staff.

I got every single NPC in the village is a

vendor.

What is the point of that?

Why don't they just have one vendor?

Such bad game design.

Buff my items a bit.

Damn, that stuff's really nice.

See how much increased damage I do now.

Okay, upgraded my stuff.

It looks pretty cool too, so I should be

able to do way more damage now.

Let's see.

Oh yeah, yeah, I can feel it already.

Oh, I didn't charge my pots.

So stupid.

It should automatically charge your pots

when you leave or enter the town.

Okay,

I'm fully charged now.

Okay, so yeah, damage seems pretty good.

Yeah, I'm doing way more damage now.

Look at that, look at that, I'm doing

Double the damage.

Yeah.
