Charged Staff with more then 5 Support gems

[darkxell133]

With 2 different Charged Staff("CS") Skills u can gain buffs or add debuffs from one "CS" to another "CS"

Lets say u support Charged Staff with Persistance, Neural Overload and Electrocute
and the second one is supportet by Innervate, Blind, Maim

now u buff first the second CS (im not sure if it need max Powercharges) and while this is active u Buff the First CS
now your CS can Electrocute from the first CS and Maim, Blind and grant Innvervate from the Second one
as long it doesnt expire you only need to rebuff the first one

so u can use your first charged staff with duration area of effect and extra dmg an a second one to add stuff like culling strike, electrocute, innervate or other debuff stuff
in the Picture Below u can see that i have active the 50sec "CS" and got the Innervate Buff from the Second one

This is very interesting tech, thank you for sharing it. There might be other powerful ways to abuse this interaction, I will do some testing and share my results here if I come up with anything worth trying.

i testet around a bit and now i know how it exactly works
if u use CS1
CS1 is active
then u use CS2 it extend the duration of CS1
now CS1 and CS2 are active at the same time and share the Durration from the last used CS
so u can use CS1 with dmg supports and add CS2 with debuffs and add CS3 with increased Duration
then CS1, CS2 and CS3 are active and they share the duration from the last used CS
that means every attack will now add 3different CS waves
using Magnified Effect and Expanse u can see that there are 2 Waves at the same time
so it should be possible to use 9 different CS at the same time to add 9 CS Waves but u only get one Buff with added Lightning Dmg and Buff Duration per power charge

PLease tell me the exact gems you used

[losercom200]

but if we wanna have 4 cs on what gem setup would you suggest?

[darkxell133]

I only using 2CS one with Innervate, Culling Strike, Electrocute and Neural Overload
this helps to Electrocute Bosses
and on the second one i use
Conduction, Persistence, Lightning Exposure and Strip Away
and i use it with Storm Wave as main attack
CS is in this case only for increasing the Dmg Outputt on Bosses
if u want du use Charged Staff as main dmg it should be used with flicker Strike cause of the fast attack speed
then u can add ailments support gems with different Infusions to apply freeze, shock, Ignite
one could inflict Blind and Maim and add culling strike
and u should add Quality on the last CS and add Persistence to increase the Duration
every CS adds an extra attack so u can add dmg increasing supp gems but CS itself only gets 105% of attack dmg on lvl 20
so it would be better to add damage to Flicker Stricke or an other skill gem and use CS for adding Debuffs to enemys

does this only work with those specific sup gems ? ive just tried this with the cs i normally use and then another one with some random gems but timer doesnt stack longer and i stop shooting out the waves when second one activated

[darkxell133]

As long as u dont use gems with cooldown like Hourglass or Expand
it should shoot waves as long your CS Buff is up
and maybe a gem like Combo Finisher could be a problem didn't testet that
i use CS with 5 PowerCharges and the last CS in the chain is supportet bei Persistence
and as long the CS Buff doesnt run out u only need the last CS of the Chain to rebuff all CS out of the Chain at once
i only using two CS cause i dont have free Skill slots ^^
