fanir vs elemental staves?

Which is better and for who? Does losing the fanir item make it not worth it?

@shadowind7: When you cap you hit 50m. If you're hitting 50m with both staves, pick the one that attacks faster.

It's only when you don't cap that the damage difference comes into play.

[quote=nhan1st]Faf is better for everyone but BaM.

For bams, if you don't cap, Faf is better. If you cap, ele is better because 1 higher speed tier.[/quote]
Isn't it the other way around? If you cap, then faf is better?
I personally like speed and the tradeability of the ele staff, but faf is prob better damage-wise

[quote=Sungoon]@GoXDS pretty much this (except I think I saw a thread that proved Faf Staff to be better?)

Still content with my ES6 though [/quote]

Elemental Staff:
- 10%/5% bonus for corresponding elements (-25% for wrong element)
- permanently tradable
- Lvl 163 so highest tier potential
- Fast (5) for BaM
Fafnir:
- 10% Ignore
- 30% Boss
- RA Set effect of 30% Boss
- 28 higher matk base (204 vs 176)
- 8 slots
- more common in FM should you need to weapon trace

in short, Fafnir's better by far except for possibly BaM in general
