My Build Is Dead

I was working on making a chayula monk build with flicker strike. Well it was nerfed to the ground in this 0.1.1 patch because of the change with Lingering illusion and minion pact change. Thanks GGG. Apparently you don't know what made your first game fun because you keep nerfing anything that is good in poe2. I had high hopes for this game and that has since changed. Why nerf power charges out of everything else in the game. I'm convinced you guys don't play your own game.

this interaction was border line tbh, there's work around to spawn power charges, monks are far to be nerf to the ground

Nerf Charged staff/Tempest Flurry/Bell. Not a way to get charges. Especially since you still need to roll around to get them. It was the only thing that made a full flicker strike build viable. Monk of Chayula and Flicker strike are both terrible as is when compared to everything else in the game. Now its worse.

i try flicker a lil was using profane ritual with cast on whatever works best for you, totaly fine for mapping but yeah more tricky for boss but i'm sure there's way to make it work. I just quit flickering bc i could not cope dieing just because my flicker stop right in the middle of multiple explosion ;D .

I made a build based around flicker not as a secondary use case. I dont want to be like every other monk out there smacking a bell with tempest flurry charged. I put a ton of Mana leech to leech my ES back up with chayula while in flicker so the more I was in flicker the better the build was. They just ruined what I had completely. Seems like they are okay with there just being one way to play monk and no way to play Chayula other than being a nerfed Invoker.

I agreed with you, as Chayula this kind of interraction help me to not be a halfass invoker, pathfinder poison or hexblast Witch. Now chayula cant have any identity to himself. And some simple mind believe Chayula = Monk so its OP but in reality it the worst ascendancy in the game now

Same case here.
Flicker strike was the only build that made me wanna play.
Now it's not fun at all. Can barely use it on maps and given it's all downsites like losing control over your character, having to stack powercharges etc. it's just not worth it.

Killing Palm isn't a terrible supplement. I use both it and Lingering Illusion on my Chayula monk. It just needs to grant a little better reward for Culling an enemy besides the Power Charge. At max Quality it gives a measly 4% mana on Cull (over 4 seconds!). The Soul/Life Drain supports each give 12%.

I am glad that I am not alone on this. I am going to be stepping away from POE2 until full release, good luck guys
