Since the game is unbalanced in favor of the barbarian, and the druid has no other weapon to put the Aspect of the Moonrise on, the Greatstaff of the Crone becomes a completely useless single.

Classes having a different number of aspect slots was always going to end badly imho.
x2 two handed weapon slots and x2 one handed slots just isn’t really capable of being balanced against x1 2hand slot or x2 1handed.
Especially considering the overlapping aspects.

Don’t care about Barbarian & Rogue having extra weapon slots. The Unique in question is a poor choice for the same reason as the perma-bear/wolf chest; it’s a launch item that has not been updated in line with current endgame.
We are so far from the OG launch that it is kinda mind boggling that uniques did not get completely redone this season. But that would require actual development and resouces being invested

If at least Hectic Aspect was working with Greatstaff… so many problems with this weapon, im raging inside.
hectic works with greatstaff
since when, did they patch it ? do you get 2 procs per claw cast?
I don’t see why you would get 2 procs per claw cast? It also casts storm strike but to me that doesn’t mean it casts 2 basic skills, unless you take the 15% chance to hit twice from claw, which I’ve seen add 2 stacks.
because you get proc per basic skill cast and greatstaff casts 2 basics at once. It is not a trigger, it is explicitly stated that it is a cast.

I guess that makes sense to me, you are correct. Maybe it is bugged then, I never assumed it would’ve been doubling any basic procs though.
I would’ve thought that since the staff is technically casting the second spell, it wouldn’t consider the player as casting it hence no double stacks. Blizzard code!!!
it counts as cast for everything else except this hectic
Do you have an example?
nature’s fury key passive
Not to be curt but that’s a terrible example, as I’m not sure how you could definitively prove you’re getting 2 free earth skills from the proc, since you only get the next earth skill free only if you hit the 30% chance.
you dont even need to count to see the difference between 30% and 60% proc chance …
And you can see both earthspikes casting at once if you use earthspike aspect
Earthspike aspect? Not sure what that is, do you mean the seismic aspect? That wouldn’t make earthspike cast twice though.
it was example to see 2 spikes, i said earthspike because i didnt wanna bother checking the name knowing you will understand what i talk about.
if you use this aspect and Greatstaff at the same time, and nature’s fury key passive you can clearly differentiate between 1 and 2 triggers of key passive. And this is exactly how it should work in accordance to tooltip, so this is as intended.
Interesting… I’ll have to mess around with it, as again the example you used doesn’t really prove anything about it working or not. But it most definitely does not work the way it should with hectic as you pointed out.
ill look later if you can see that in one of my videos on yt if i dont forget.
edit: didn’t find it, hard to tell if it was double hit or just double trigger because i had attack speed cap. Would have to test without skill upgrade.

They need to change the staff’s ability from +150% to x150%, this would drastically change the stormclaw build and could become meta again.
