Acolyte of chayula (rework?)
|
Hi,
I love the theme behind acolyte of chayula. I however don't feel the fantasy of utilizing chaos with this ascendancy to be satisfactory. The identity of what chaos damage looks like for this ascendancy I feel can be based on how the needler weapon in the Halo franchise works. A super combine effect of accumulating chaos energy upon reaching a certain threshold should result in an explosion (this can either apply on oneself or enemies). This will distinguish chaos energy amongst the other types of elemental counterparts. That's all, hopefully I explained it well enough to get the point across! Thanks.

GGG is making steps towards improvement, but the sad reality is that Chayula Monk's current gameplay is often reduced to "grab Original Sin and then play a worse Invoker"
The class needs CHAOS skills and for whatever reason GGG really did not prioritize that when designing Quarterstaff. |

I agree with both of you. I'm using Hand of Chayula on my Ice Strike Pathfinder to deliver Freezing Mark when I fight bosses. I didn't see a way to make a chaos monk work.
Maybe a keystone like Blackflame Covenant to turn lightning to Chaos would be enough. SSF Rise of the Abyssal Ice Strike Invoker, high survivability and fast clear speed. Deprioritize armor and resistances; prioritize crafting a weapon and faster start of ES recharge. Build is shown at level 47, end of Act 3. It tore through Act 3 like butter.

" 100% this, never understood why there was no chaos skills with quarterstaff since there is that ascendancy. I lost hope when they made chaos damage base on elemental ailment with volatility. SSF player
