Ele staffs for I/L post BB.

So I/L currently use the Ice staff/wand for Blizzard. Well with Blizzard getting nerfed, our main attack becomes Chain Lightning. This brings up a question that's been bothering me for a while. Wouldn't we switch to the Lightning elemental staff/wands? F/P remain on the Fire elemental staff/wands I believe (Fire Arrow, Explosion. I don't think Paralyze has that big of a range), or would they also switch?

@Djv9016: Nerfed usually pertains to damage. You can still use it for training. Also, remember the exp. cuts are huge. So, evern though we must train like the other classes, we will train fast. Spamming it is sorta fun, but don't you have to admit that moving around and attacking with blizzard, too, is at least less boring?

[quote=darklime]BLIZZARD IS NOT GETTING NERFED omfg! Every mage says that it's getting nerfed. It's getting [b]buffed[/b] that has a [i]cool-down[/i] AND a DoT. Yes, the electric type elemental wands/staves will be better because of TS, CL and BB(the skill is lightning type), but you can still use the ice wands/staves for ID, bliz,
Ice Strike, etc. which I plan on doing later because of the deflation.
For third job training, the ice wands will be better imo. For fourth job training and third and fourth job bossing, the lightning wands/staves will be better.[/quote]

I say nerfed as in a training aspect, as in we can't spam it anymore. Not nerfed as in damage lowering.

That's what I thought. Guess I should MTS/Sell my Ele Staff 3 before Big Bang for max profit.
