    1. Primary Skills Overview

    To make the most out of your Lightning Monk, focus on the following skills:

    Killing Palm: This melee skill is crucial for healing and managing energy charges POE2 Currency. Use it to finish off low-health enemies marked with a blue orb to recover 12% of your health and gain energy charges.

    Falling Thunder: An AOE lightning attack that consumes energy charges for increased damage, wider area, and extra range. Ensure you activate this skill when you have energy charges stacked.

    Siphoning Strike: This skill generates energy charges when you hit shocked enemies, making it essential for maintaining your damage output, especially against bosses.

    Storm Wave: Launches a stream of lightning that deals damage and can apply shock to enemies from a distance, allowing you to attack without getting too close to enemies’ melee abilities.

    Tempest Spell & Tempest Flurry: Tempest Spell drops a resonating bell that damages enemies and provides stun potential. Tempest Flurry then delivers rapid melee strikes to trigger the bell for more AOE damage quickly.

    Charge Staff: Unlock this skill towards the end of Act Two. It allows you to consume energy charges for enhanced lightning-infused attacks, great for clearing out mobs efficiently.

    Herald of Thunder: This spirit skill releases lightning bolts in the vicinity, dealing damage to enemies every time you kill a shocked enemy, significantly boosting your AOE potential.

    2. Gem Setup and Combinations

    To amplify your skills effectively, use the following gem setups:

    Killing Palm: Pair with Life Drain (12% health recovery per kill) and Profusion (50% chance for multiple energy charges per kill).

    Falling Thunder: Add Perpetual Charge (35% chance not to consume energy charges when casting) and Nate (35% additional lightning damage against shocked enemies).

    Tempest Spell: Utilize Ruthless for cheap Path of Exile 2 Currency (500% more stun build-up with every fifth use) and Magnified Effect (40% more AOE damage).

    Herald of Thunder: Equip Precision (increases accuracy) and Concentrated Effect (40% more damage, reducing AOE by 50%).
