Is unique item worth it?

[Wabbajack]

I just got a new unique staff but it stats are worse than my rare staff. So do rare items worth it or not?

Can we upgrade unique item's quality or give it new stats?

[LΞGΞND]

that particular staff is worth about 15 divines

[Matty101]

which staff?

Uniques items in POE2 compared to POE1 are freaking boring

[ex_IllusionisT]

Do you mind listing the stats of your unique and your rare?

Here's the comparison between the two

Uniques aren't inherently better than rares, they just often come with some unique property that makes them worthwhile in some cases.

Pillar of the caged god is extremely wanted Quarterstaff.
How is it better?

You can ignore damage nodes on the passive tree and just stack strength on travel nodes.
That weapon scales insanely well, from lvl 1 to end game.

The points you put in dexterity to keep your accuracy at 100% will give you more attack speed as well further boosting your dps.

The reason you have less dps with the unique is that you have low str.
Keep it for a STR stacking character, and you'll be surprised how good it is.

I see, so its worth it to invest in STR even though I'm a monk? I thought monk just use INT and DEX since a lot of monk's quarterstaff skill uses both of those attributes.

Some are game changing, while others are not that great.

Depends on your build.

As a monk you benefit from all 3 stats on the weapon. You'll just need proper runes/cores on the weapon. You don't necessarily need to stack STR. It was just one variation.

The issue you might encounter is equipping gear if you're going evasion/energy shield and you're stacking str.

If you manage to get Astramentis amulet, then this weapon will be amazing even on dex/int builds.

I haven't gotten to leveling monk yet, so I can't offer much in terms of build variety. Hopefully someone else has ideas.

Got it! I didn't know that this staff is highly after.

And thanks guys for the help! I really appreciate it!

That staff ain't worth much, people are selling them for 1ex. They're a common enough unique item to where I've seen at least a dozen of them drop, if not more, I'm familiar with the base item and typically leave them laying on the ground. It's one of the more common unique item drops. The astramentis amulet you'd need for this build to be really strong, good luck ever getting one of those. At best, the build is mediocre without the astramentis amulet.

These staves are cheap enough to where you can buy 50 of them and do vaal orb lottery until you get the perfect vaal corruption you want.
