Chayula monk and chaos damage.

I was trying to up my damage on my chayula monk and i came to the realisation that there's a big problem with it.

Chayula monk gives estra damage as chaos in 3 different ways. The "reality rending" and "flames of chayula" ascendency points. and the "mantra of destruction" skill.

Surely there will be other skills added that do chaos damage.

But there is no quarterstaff that scale chaos damage.

So going for chaos, wither nodes on the tree will never be an option for melee chayula.

Wo please add chaos based quarterstaff or give up the ability to convert damage to chaos in the futur.

Game is unfinished and I do think that there are more weapon bases, skills and uniques coming. For example, into the breach is very clear about 'you are considered to be in a breach' but there is no interaction yet. There HAS to be for them to flavour text it imo.

This. There are a few builds/classes I am simply not interested in until more weapons become available. I hate slow melee, so I'm finding Monk/Quarterstaff lots of fun, but I know I'd hate playing with maces so I haven't even touched Warrior.

I suspect Monk will play nicely with a dagger for Chayula.

Was desperate to try and make Chuyula work, since I loved the idea of an ES-Leech build ever since I first did CI-Vaal pact-Ghost Reaver in PoE 1.0. But, yeah... Its more than just how little synergizes with Chaos on the monk, its that there's a giant empty area for what should be a 'left click' for physical/wind/chaos monk. Then there's the fact that the curses applied from Hand of Chuyula have so short durations that they're basically unworkable...

Literally gave up on him while doing the Molten Vault, now breeze leveling another Monk to go Invoker until leech is fixed and that giant empty hole is filled.

Acolyte of Chayula feels entirely unsupported atm. Purple Flames don't refresh the timer, Wither is dysfunctional, only 2 out of twenty-something Quarterstaff skills interact with the "Chaos" tag , Mana Leech requires gear support, zero uniques for the playstyle, LOLDARKNESS . . .


I am speculating about the Passive "Pure Chaos" (upper right of the tree, next to Chaos Inoculation). Would unlocking that node flag every damaging skill with the "Chaos" tag? They would all become sources of Chaos damage, and that might open up some build-space.

I am also struggling with this. The Grasp of the void node with darkness doesn't seem that good when you realize that as you lose darkness you lose the chaos damage. Reality rending seems ok but where else does the chaos damage come from?

The only thing I can think of is to try and add poison to skills to utilize the chaos element and get chaos bonuses.

I know this is a long time ago, but the Unique Ring “Original Sin” will make Ice Strike entirely chaos damage.

Use chaos infusion support gem on your main ability (such as tempest flurry). +25% chaos dmg and -50% all other damage. Seems like a bad support gem but with the passives/gear I imagine the drop in dps wouldn't be that much and a good chunk of damage would be converted to chaos.

Some Good News: Curse support gems finally work with Hand of Chayula!

What if you use a bow instead? Cultist bow? Does that work?
