Wind Monk non Meta problems

Cant play the Monk i was planning to play,

cause every Staff attacks are bound to Thunder and Ice. I made it to lvl 50 using only :

1.staggering Palm

2.vaulting Impact

3.Wind Blast

4.Tempest Bell

and as i got to lvl 41 i was so happy to get

5.Whirling Assault

to just find out its weak and mana hungry only. Ok no Wind Monk.

then i tought to make my Monk as a Fire Monk.

Nope no freedom for creation , Why GGG ?

PoE2 looks and plays so beatyfull.

The fight animations with the staff looks so great but only for light and ice.

Not wanting light or ice .....no animation for the Staff, thats sad.

Monk rigid to ice and light.

Wind/phys is to weak.has one cool animation Whirling assault. Maybee with all tree elements ( Herald Ash, light and ice it could get somewere.) but still its rigid.

Chaos not supported at all, no animation for chaos, only the hand attack.
And if you want to make chaos work then only with a stick like Harry Potter.
Its not a Monk for me.

I think having all animations not bound to an element would give the game more freedom to create a toon.

Fire Monk i tried....Wind/phys and cast on crit but cast on crit takes to long to charge up to only cast ones in a while :/ and of course no animation for fire Monk.

When i saw the passive tree the first time i thought "what a great idea to have the char in the center" so we could build in any direction like the Scion in PoE1. Naaa that was to much wishfull thinking.

So PoE2 is not just gender locked, also elemental locked.

I still have high hopes for this game.

I really wish I read this before hitting level 41 (25 hours play time) on my monk and feeling the exact same way about whirling assault. I quite literally leveled with similar skills, thought instead of windblast I felt forced to use storm wave as it was just hitting so much harder.

Welp, I guess the wind/physical archetype is bricked for now.

The skill is like whirlwind/cyclone, it's an OG aarpg classic. I'm sure they will polish it out for the fans!
