Could an Invoker Monk be a viable caster build?

Does the Invoke skills look good for a possible caster build ice or lighting?

could be, theres a guy who runs ice strike and he uses bell with invoke that uses eye of winter and instant fully hits the bell. you could just build your monk to be spell focused instead

It was until they killed triggering. So the energy gain ascendency is useless.
Also you don't really need the resistance ignore, because you can just take the skill point on the tree that ignores resistances of frozen targets.

And the third ascendency with crit down to the right is just for melee anyways.

So yeah. The ascendency is kinda pointless, though, the top one with spirit and ES/evasion is good.

Hopefully some stranger will talk some sense into GGG so they can fix the triggers. Because .. it's impossible to get crit capped as well.

My current Invoker build when I am relaxing and don't feel like paying attention in melee I basically sit back on the couch and just cast storm wave and wrecks says 6k dps and with charged staff up(7 power) does over 10k. However I'm only 60 so I don't know how it will be end game. Judging from this though I bet it will work.
