been playing monk and im lvl 52 but stopped enjoying it pretty quick

anyone knows a good char and ascend that doesnt require a super expensive build (dont want to spend any on poe2 tbh) and that can do content easy (campaign and maps)?

spell totem spark Oracle^^

I played essence drain witch until like 60 and swapped to bloodmage bleed ice shot, got to t15 maps and then swapped to bloodmage CoC spark/arc with archmage.

they all felt pretty good, and played differently so it was just a re-spec to try a new build.

wasnt very expensive either, I just walked into maps with like, 1-2 exalt gear and farmed up divs to upgrade naturally.

highly recommend huntress spirit walker twisters
super fast to level. easy and smooth throughout. Only spent a few div and ran t15s no problem
the build will scale very well as you go on. very fun

It is combos so you are aware

tbh my monk has been cheap.
just the 4th ascendency unlocked and maybe like 2-3 divs worth of gear so far(and those were mostly self-found divs from a4 campaign and maps).
only at t9 maps(cause I'm slowly unlocking stuff as I go and have time to play).

but haven't ran into any problems, if you're playing the MA monk 4th ascendency like leveling build "pre whirlwind assault" it is kind of strong for campaign but weak for end-game(or at least to me it was weak).

I'm no where near optimal for playing but it's been fun clicking the whirlwind thing + bell.
