Charged Staff is a quarterstaffskill. Upon use, the skill consumes your power charges to apply a buff that grants added lightning damage and causes your quarterstaff attacks to launch a lightning shockwave forward.
The buff causes all attacks that use your quarterstaff to launch a shockwave forward, regardless of whether they are targeting an enemy or if they hit an enemy or not.
Skills which can hit multiple times per use, like Tempest Flurry and Flicker Strike, will launch a shockwave with each hit.
Whirling Assault launches shockwaves in multiple directions during the skill animation.
Reactivating the skill with the buff active will add to the amount of power charges consumed for the buff, but this number cannot exceed your maximum number of power charges.
