TLDR on how things work
In the Items tab, change between weapon set 1 and 2 to see Ice Strike / Falling Thunder respectively (look at DPS for Ice Strike, Average Damage for Falling Thunder)
Ice Strike, Shattering Palm and Hand of Chayula should be on Weapon Set 1
Falling Thunder should be on Weapon Set 2
Everything else should be enabled on both 1 and 2
Mantra empowers both your mapping and your 1 shot boss combo (MAKE SURE MANTRA IS 0 QUALITY)
For mapping, build 20 combo (10 hits with Ice Strike / Shattering Palm, very quick), use Mantra, will give you 5 power charges for crit from Charge Regulation, and will enable Finality (from Duality QStaff) for 10 seconds
This makes you only use the last strike of Ice Strike for 10 seconds, paired with Crescendo III making every hit ancestrally boosted, your clear and damage goes WAY up.
Keep in mind you can't gain combo while Finality is active, you CAN make Mantra Weapon Slot 2 only so you can spam Falling Thunder every time you get 20 combo, but then you lose your Finality buff completely, I don't think it's worth it
You can always change this if you're purely bossing, but as you can see in the video it's not a big deal to wait 10 seconds to build 20 combo again for another Falling Thunder, and it also means your Fist of War III will always be up
ALSO KEEP IN MIND you can use Falling Thunder in maps, but you will lose half your ES and Evasion, so make sure you're in a safe spot before using it
For bossing, build 20 combo (again with Ice Strike / Shattering Palm), then Shattering Palm the boss, Hand of Chayula to apply Eleweak, use Mantra for Power Charges and extra chaos damage, then Falling Thunder to 1 shot
Because Chimes gives you 1 power per 4 combo, you instantly get 5 Power Charges, sometimes 6 with Charge Profusion, and you count as having an extra Power Charge from the QStaff node on passive tree, so 6-7 Power Charge Falling Thunder (six seven)
It IS possible to miss if you target badly or you use it when a boss moves/teleports, so keep that in mind, you'll have to wait ~12 seconds before you can do it again, but not a big deal
It also has quite a big windup and can be interrupted, so if you do get interrupted check you still have your power charges and go again (you might have lost your Mantra buff, might not have)
This build is not perfectly theorycrafted at all, there's lots of improvements to be made, the gear is good not great, but i've been able to 1 shot every new pinnacle boss and finish my atlas tree comfortably using this setup
There has been some high deli map bosses that have tanked it, but I just wait 12 seconds and hit them again and they die, with a better 2nd QStaff and other gear you can probably get 2-3x the damage I currently have
Some things i've thought about;
I'm not even sure Herald of Thunder or Ghost Dance are doing much / anything, i'll probably take one out for Wind Dancer at some point because getting stuck in a group of mobs is annoying as shit
Combat Frenzy might also be ok for skill speed while mapping from Charge Regulation, might test this out too
I'm using the free Companion from chest with Wyvern Oil Barrage for free Exposure, however if I get money for Rakiata's Flow i'll change this for something else as it has negative synergy, not sure what yet
I would put Garukhan's Resolve on Ice Strike if I had 200 div, but I don't [:
I would also use Forces of Nature annoint but it's 12 div and i'm not spending that on my very average amulet
