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 (500% more stun build-up with every fifth use POE 2 Orbs) and Magnified Effect (40% more AOE damage).

Passive Skill Tree Progression
Maximizing your Lightning Monk's efficiency involves strategic passive skill tree choices:

Flow Like Water & Step Like Mist: These nodes boost attack speed, mana regeneration, and movement speed—ideal early game pick-ups.

Taste for Blood: Grants additional life per enemy killed, along with a chance to replenish health instantly.

Essence of the Storm: Focus here to enhance your lightning damage and shock chance.

Power Within: Increases crit damage and the number of power charges you can hold.

Conservative Casting: Boosts mana regeneration, essential for spamming your skills during intense boss fights.

Boss Strategy: Overcoming Jamra the Abomination
You’ll encounter various bosses, with Jamra the Abomination being notably resistant to lightning damage. However, by playing aggressively and managing your energy charges while utilizing your skills effectively, you can pressure the boss and minimize their ability to perform dangerous attacks. The key is to stack energy charges through Killing Palm and Siphoning Strike, maintaining high DPS with Falling Thunder and Tempest Spell.

Approach Aggressively: Keep up the pressure on Jamra to avoid letting him unleash his deadliest attacks.
Use AOE Skills Strategically: Utilize Tempest Spell and Falling Thunder to maximize damage in phases where he summons minions or exposes himself.
