Quarterstaff needs Chaos related skills

In short: nothing works with chaos dmg in Qstaff kit.

Bell which is extremely strong ability, scales with Elemental alignments and poorly with knockback - chaos dmg gets ignored by it.

Plenty of chaos related passive nodes nearby are genuinely not usable.

Chonk asc nodes are too unreliable to fully commit into chaos with these.

If I go Original sin, I'm loosing the ways to generate power charges reliably. Also loosing the aoe from heralds and shatters.

Chaos and Physical Qstaff feels bad. Please give it some love!

You can't expect to be both chaos and elemental, like trying to use tempest bell and heralds with chaos damage. You pick one type and build everything to around that one type.

Maybe Spears or Daggers will synergize better with Chaluya than staves...it's still early access, thankfully.

So, what do i go with as Chaos Monk?
There is nothing to go with.
You see the point now? Noone said to combine it in the first place - just indicating lack of chaos synergies with default Monk weapon... Read comprehensively.

Then Qstaff shouldn't have Hand of Chayula/Mantra of Destruction to begin with. Currently, they are gimmick skills when compared to everything else in the weapon's list. Perhaps Chalupa will get poison/unarmed support.

I'm throwing everything into Daze/Stun, Attackspeed, and crits atm. Mostly Physical, only use the lightning slam as a way to dump charges.

It should be possible to get Quick-change Act passive in mercenary tree (-75% weapon swap time), and to use the maces slams and the 1619% attack damage Hammer of the gods, no ?
Pretty sure that's a good idea :)
That one plan is the obvious one to me... unless you guys can tell me i'm wrong... maybe not enough passive points, but i think it's possible

Now the build that is less obvious would be a Bonestorm one, trying to figure it out since days... all those physical spells got up on patch 0.1.0e : "Increased the damage growth per level on Unearth (non-Minion component), Bonestorm, Bone Cage, Bone Blast (Wand Skill) and Power Siphon (Wand Skill). Results in approximately 50% more damage at Gem Level 25."
And Bonestorm is a craaazy good spell for Reality rending, no ? The thing is... you cannot get -75% time on weap swap there i think

iooooooooo, you're right, original sin is the way !

with an elemental dmg QStaff ! it's been days i'm trying to figure out the build but i'm new to PoE, don't have those datas... and yes you can generate power charge by pinning, also with profane ritual

That should work, no ?

Well, need original sin as SFF now :)

Duuuuuuuuude, that original sin tech made my day... Chaos jedi pretty soon ! hahahahahha

Just need Orbs of chance on amethyst rings then

and while waiting to find that,... i keep pathing to weapon swap passive in merc tree to use hammer of the gods. Wait... it should work with mantra of destruction, right ?
Cause i tried dual weapon, and some stuff doesn't work... like you cannot use combo support gem from QStaff to mace, you also loose rage from rage support gem when swapping... it has to work, or what would be the point of weapon swap passive... I spent so much gold respeccing haha

But... you don't even absolutely need original sin... i mean it would be better, but i'm pretty sure i can level with bonestorm as a power charge spender, with spell dmg passives and gear, with an elemental dmg staff
yes for sure it would work ! tbh, i tried already, but i didn't think about elemental damage staff, that's the way
i tried monk leveling with bonestorm, but with a wand and... bone blast
and... it was garbage hahaha, but with an elemental QStaff, you can get the QStaff spells. That's the thing, i needed crit spells that there isn't in occult ones

shiiiit, i destroyed my intell gear :(

Np, i'll build a new one first while still working on physical build and farming for original sin :)
