This build harnesses the unparalleled speed of the Monk class in Path of Exile 2 to achieve a state of perpetual motion, using Flicker Strike as its primary engine of destruction. The philosophy is to generate Frenzy Charges at a rate equal to or greater than our expenditure, allowing for an unending chain of teleports that clears entire screens in the blink of an eye. Unlike its predecessors in Path of Exile 1, the PoE 2 Monk brings a unique focus on unarmed combat and elemental synergies, which we leverage to create a build that is not only blindingly fast but also resilient enough for the toughest encounters, with resource management supported by PoE 2 Currency investment.
Core Mechanics: Sustaining the FlickerThe build's success depends on never letting Flicker Strike go on cooldown. This is accomplished by ensuring a constant supply of Frenzy Charges. Our system for infinite charge generation is multi-layered, with redundancy to prevent downtime even in prolonged boss fights.
Primary Frenzy Charge GenerationPros | Cons |
---|---|
Unmatched clear speed with instant movement between packs. | Visually disorienting due to constant teleports. |
Highly engaging, active playstyle that rewards attention. | Lack of control over targeting, problematic in certain fights. |
Excellent elemental scaling for endgame damage. | Gear dependent, clunky until attack speed and charge generation are optimized. |
Strong inherent defenses from evasion, suppression, and mobility. | Dangerous in "No-Leech" maps due to reliance on life leech. |
As an unarmed build, the main 6-link resides in the Body Armour to maximize single-target damage and sustain.

Note: Ice Bite is ideal for charge generation against frozen enemies via Herald of Ice synergy, while Added Cold Damage suits scenarios with sufficient charge uptime.
Passive Tree and Ascendancy Path Passive Tree PrioritiesWith the right synergy between Frenzy generation, elemental scaling, and defensive layering, the Infinite Flicker Monk becomes one of the most exhilarating builds in Path of Exile 2. Proper gearing and passive allocation ensure both speed and survivability, while strategic aura and skill link choices maximize efficiency.
