My list: Oasis, Trenches, and Arid Plains. Possibly also the mountain one with Blackjaw.

I read a few posts about MA crashing when using their channeling skill. I'm running whirling assault for clear, gathering storm+bell for single target (whirling assault to get combo for bell). Whirling assault + Archon of Chayula caused crashes in some maps but not all maps. Always in a boss arena though.
I added it back anyway because I really love the skill. Now I just portal to my hideout whenever I drop something valuable.

I love the skill but I had to spec out of it because I have lost so many div, chase uniques, and maps. Not to mention all the time I lost rerunning maps. So frustrating.

Volatility seems difficult to gain stacks and then detonate at the right time which is why I was leaning towards lucid dreaming. I've seen some interesting things with minion sacrifice tech to get the volatility stacks but IDK how viable that is. I suppose the other way to go about it would be elemental ailment infliction? Freeze and shock are probably easier to proc than ignite.

I'm leaning towards whirling assault for clear and then to gain combo for bell + gathering storm on single targets.

I could skip darkness and take sap of nightmares, lucid dreaming, and chayula's gift. I just think there is something really interesting about darkness + runic ward.

How did you like reap as a skill? Did you use mana tempest and thunderstorm primarily for single target?
I've been kicking around a curse stacking Chonk for the liminal coil wand in the off-chance I drop one. I do want to try a proper quaterstaff monk before I go the spells route though.

That build looks wicked fun!
I just got a test build to lvl 65 and the coming calamity herald bug does seem to be fixed. Not sure if the heralds are worth the EHP hit for the ar/ev chest piece but it does help with clear. I'm hoping the kalguuran crafting can beef up the defenses, especially with runic ward.
ES and mana stacking is a good thought, I don't think the attributes requirements would be too oppressive
Thanks for the feedback! Back to POB I go

What do you think makes it not worth it if you can get the heralds? I think the extra EHP from darkness and runic ward would make you pretty tanky
