Staff

From Path of Exile 2 Wiki
(Redirected from Staves)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Not to be confused with Quarterstaff.

Staff is an item class of two-handed weapons that require intelligence to equip. They have no local attack stats, and instead roll modifiers for spells. Staves come with an implicit modifier that grants a specific spell; this spell is used instead of a default attack. This inherent spell will also receive any bonuses to skill level that correctly applies to that skill's tags.

A staff's level and intelligence requirement is based on the level of its granted skill implicit.

Mechanics

Modifier affinity

Explicit modifiers on staves have some internal restrictions. Firstly, certain base types may only be able to roll modifiers of a certain damage type. The modifiers that are affected are:

  • +# to Level of X Spell Skills (Modifier affinity: X)
  • #% increased X Damage (Modifier affinity: X)
    • #% increased Spell Physical Damage (Modifier affinity: Physical)
  • Ailment modifiers
    • #% increased chance to Ignite (Modifier affinity: Fire/Physical)
    • #% increased Freeze Buildup (Modifier affinity: Cold/Physical)
    • #% increased chance to Shock (Modifier affinity: Lightning/Physical)

where X represents a damage type. For example, an Ashen Staff with a fire affinity can roll increased fire damage, gain as fire, and chance to ignite, but not increased cold damage, gain as cold, or chance to shock.

Other staff base types that do not have an affinity (e.g. Chiming Staff), can temporarily gain an affinity if it rolls any of the above modifiers, restricting its modifier pool. This affinity can be removed by removing any related modifiers.
