Overview
This is the endgame update to a Martial Artist Monk built to complete any endgame activity without mirror-tier gear. The creator deliberately avoids the most expensive items — no Rakiata’s Flow, no Mageblood — and still posts footage recorded at 200% Delirious effect, which alone hands the build around 67% damage reduction to everything. The point is accessibility: a Hollow Palm monk that scales crit and physical damage hard while staying tanky enough to farm the hardest content.
What pushes the damage into “nuclear” territory is a stack of multipliers layered on top of a crit Hollow Palm base. Predator’s Mark counts allies — including the clone wolves — so it instantly caps a roughly 50% increased-damage-taken debuff on bosses. Killing Palm with Blazing Critical generates rage and power charges while you wait out boss role-play phases, and the weapon-swap setup brings the Wracked Vengeance buff up to a 20-second duration via stacked skill-effect duration.
Defensively the build leans on evasion and the reworked 0.5 deflection formula: blinding enemies pushes deflection toward 90%, translating into ~40% damage reduction that matters enormously against juiced bosses. Layered with a large energy-shield pool and high movement speed, it stays comfortable while mapping and survives pinnacle-tier hits.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Deletes bosses in seconds — Predator’s Mark + Killing Palm + rage stacking is a huge single-target spike
- Viable at 200% Delirious and into pinnacle / heavily-juiced content
- Built without mirror-tier uniques; most gear is self-crafted or cheap
- Strong defensive layering through evasion, deflection and energy shield
- High movement speed keeps mapping fluid
Cons
- An endgame update, not a fresh-league starter — expects a level-95+ character and a ~40–50 divine weapon
- No longer a true one-button build; boss fights now need extra skills and weapon swapping
- Crit / charge management adds execution overhead
- Mapping clear is solid but not the build’s headline strength
Key Skills
- Hollow Palm (main form) — the damage core, scaling crit and physical; single-target links include Wracked Vengeance, Armour Break, Heavy Swing, Blind and Heft
- Predator’s Mark (Pounce) — marks the target for ~50% increased damage taken once allies are counted; Mark for Death + Prolonged Duration
- Killing Palm + Blazing Critical — cooldown reset on Ghost Bells, generates power/frenzy/endurance charges and rage during boss role-play
- Charge Infusion / weapon-swap buff — the Wracked Vengeance buff stretched to ~20 seconds via skill-effect duration
Gear & Anointments
The weapon is the most expensive piece (~40–50 divine), a crit / increased-physical / +level-to-all-attack-skills base — looted and crafted up rather than bought perfect. Gloves are corrupted for two sockets running perfect runes, supplying evasion, energy shield and power-charge-on-hit. Helmet and body armour stack energy shield, resistances and deflection rating; boots prioritise ~35% movement speed plus a large evasion roll. The amulet is anointed with Well of Power to solve mana sustain, supported by a Lyana’s mana-regen flask and a mana-regen ring roll. Jewels (Heart of the Wilds-style unique plus crit timeless/rare jewels) add crit chance, crit damage, extra chaos damage and energy shield.

Endgame Notes
The build targets the hardest content the patch offers: 200% Delirious maps, pinnacle bosses and heavily-juiced encounters, with item-rarity idols slotted while farming. Ascendancy runs the Hollow Palm technique nodes alongside Runic Meridian and Way of the Stonefist, with rune choices (Glossia, curse-effect, recovery, movement speed) tuned per slot.
