Tried levelling monk. That was a mistake

Otherwise, just play Ritualist or Gemling Legionaire if you want a Quarterstaff build that is serviceable. Those are the two ascendancies that make better use of the Monk's weapon than the monk.

Monk player here with some leveling advice

1) Use Glacial Cascade as spammable. It's mana intensive and hard to aim because of very low reach.

You need to aim it so that the target is in the splash radious.

You don't have to worry about this sort of crap with Stormwave, but that skill ca be really mana intensive.

2) Don't bother with Tempest Bell or Falling Thunder. Those are for specialized end game builds.

3) You are Dex-Int hybrid. At any point in time, if you are fed-up with the mana intensive and melee centered crap of Quarterstaves, you can just pick up Bows, Spears or Crossbows, depending on how many +5s you put into Strength

4) Just because a class has an iconic weapon, that doesn't mean you have to use it.

I played Monk as a Sorceress with Elemental Spells only and was able to reach end game by spamming Firewall and Spark.

Of all the classes in game, I think Monk is the least beholden to their iconic weapon. You can simply migrate towards the starting zone of another character and simply do better 9/10 times with their passives on top of things such as Essence of Storm, Essence of Mountain or Crashing Waves.

5) Spam dodge and kite at all times. All while being able to apply a strong poison, bleed or burn effect on bosses at all times to prevent health or shield regens.

By now, I think you got tired of my tips and want to ask me, why I still play monk if my advice is so depressing and lack-luster.

Well my answer is this: the only reason to play Monk is if you think you can combine the Ascendancies of the Monk with the Iconic Weapons of other classes to make viable builds for End Game.

That's it. Otherwise, just play Ritualist or Gemling Legionaire if you want a Quarterstaff build that is serviceable. Those are the two ascendancies that make better use of the Monk's weapon than the monk.
