Martial Artist (new Monk Ascendancy) using Facebreaker x Hollow Palm Technique

MACES x STAVES but with your FISTS

WE GAMIN BOYS LET'S GOOOOO!

I will be updating this guide constantly once the patch is live.

Follow my stream for real-time updates!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

LIVE UPDATE SECTION

ACT 4 QUEST REWARD: one that gives 15% Deflection

the other rewards are in Section 8 of this guide, "Quest Rewards"

--DAY 1--

changed order of Ascendancy points - take Way of the Stonefist first (even without Facebreaker)

you can also do Way of the Mountain, if you want

wait to start using Rolling Slam (in Hollow Form Technique) until after you get Forge Hammer (T9 Skill, early Act 3)

keep using Tempest Flurry & Tempest Bell until then

also, be sure to grab Redflare Conduit as soon as you can for Hollow Form Technique

Facebreaker, when "modified" via Way of the Stonefist grants:

- Fire Dmg instead of Phys

- "Extra as Fire" instead of "%More Unarmed dmg"

- New Skill, basically free Impact Shockwave that also Breaks Armor (on Heavy Stun)

- scales with INTELLIGENCE instead of Strength (also gives %Area scaling)

if you go to bed and wake up, Facebreaker should be cheaper ;)

--DAY 2--

added Fragments Of The Past for more Power Charge gen on single targets

added Rend (click "Wyven Form" on your Talisman!) for perma 50% Extra Dmg as Lightning

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

SKILL ROTATION

CLEARING

occasionally Rend (consume Power Charge for 50% Extra as Lightning)

spam Wind Blast

that's it lol

I will also try other Skills like Whirling Assault

SINGLE TARGET

Fragments Of The Past

Forge Hammer ON TOP OF ENEMY (and do NOT recall!)

Infernal Cry (pops Forge Hammer to create Fissures)

hold Hollow Form Technique (clones usingRolling Slam)

try to get a Rend in when you have a Power Charge, to gain its dmg buff

otherwise, just continue holding Hollow Form Technique and pop Forge Hammer again, if necessary

VERY IMPORTANT INFO

if you are downloading the .build files - you HAVE TO DOWNLOAD EACH "Variant" INDIVIDUALLY by selecting "Act 1"& downloading > selecting "Act 2" & downloading, etc.

idk why - it's dumb - but it is what it is

If you are using Facebreaker, you MUST kill ALL UNIQUE ENEMIES IN THE CAMPAIGN

each one grants you flat phys dmg w Mace Skills - essential for Rolling Slam

if you have Hollow Palm Technique allocated, you MUST level up your main-damaging Skills (Wind Blast, Tempest Bell, Tempest Flurry)

your flat dmg via Hollow Palm Technique depends on each given Skill's level

At the end of the Campaign, your Facebreaker should have 188-252 phys dmg

"upgraded" Facebreaker (via Way of the Stonefist) should have 189-314 fire

Here is a list of all unique enemies & where they are located:
