Zayus: why do I hear all this talk about Staves for BMs
why not Wands?
is it because of range? wands would still be better seeing as they're a bit faster.
I wunder if EWs will be worth more now than ever, they're 'Fast' staves as well.
Cause they can only use staffs. They're attacks and buffs don't work with wands.
Kalemora: What about Elemental Staffs?
Elemental staffs would be fine if youre reg luk, or have a lot of luk equips that can get you through. the level 163 ele staff is your best bet for damage.

Battle mages use staves not wands

BM's skills can only be performed by staves and EWs might rise in price a bit, although nowadays people tend to pass level 65 extremely fast.
I personally prefer staff anyway, they look and seem better fit for any type of mages . (explains why I still use a kage at 105, couldn't update basil)

It can be tested if haven't on GMS, you're forgetting Evan's also have the dark element.

I don't think ele staves should reduce the dark element. If you think about it, evan's use the fire ele weapons and they have several dark element based skills as well such as Dark Fog, Imprint, Killer Wings. It would have to impact those skills and thus impact the decision to using ele weapons. Though this would be inaccurate since evans mainly use fire based attacks to train and might not notice any difference in dark skills.

I was asking because he seemingly forgot that Elemental Staffs are Fast speed as well. Thanks anyhow, I guess.
Also, getting 105 Luck for a 103 Staff isn't that hard with potential and common equips like Zakum Helmets, etc.

Kalemora: Most people ive talked to capped at around 30~60. and yes, its easily obtainable for the 103 staff but kind of hard if youre low luk w/o funding or a lot of potential equips for luk to get the level 163 staff, also we just dont know if after BB the dark element will be effected by the elemental reduction.

krishy: If you're going to equip one of the 163 Staffs, it's highly likely that you have enough funding to get that kind of Luck. The Staffs easily go for 1b+. Well yes, we don't, I find it doubtful though. Only a handful of BaM skills are actually Dark element, IIRC.

Kalemora: Well i'm just saying if youre planning on endgamming a lvl 163 staff. ATM im going to use a dragon staff for my bam til i can find a really nice VIP or a 163 staff, hopefully i'll have the funds for that.
Also MW helps a lot and youll probably get +luk potential while potentialling your other stuff.
and i also highly doubt itll change but again, you never know. And only two of their attacks are dark, dark lightning and dark genesis.
