Post revamp Ele-staff or Fafnir?
I'm all about that speed 'bout that speed.
Ele-staffs are quite possibly my favorite weapons on the entire game and it's kind of hard to put one down after feeling how fast a BaM can attack with it. I haven't played with a Slower attack staff since level 65 and I really don't plan on doing so. However, it looks like after the next revamp we'll lose some of +attack speed so I almost feel that I [i]can't[/i] use a staff with a Slower attack speed. So I guess my questions are:
1) Post Revamp, are we actually able to reach cap attack speed with a Faf, [b]without[/b] the use of the MPE Green Pots?
2) If not, seeing as Ele-staffs suffer in damage as well as not having any set effects, what other sources should I rely on to efficiently increase my damage? (I currently have some Tyrant boots with %INT on them, some nice earrings that I'm not quite willing to give up.)
3) Ultimately if I am looking to increase damage, should I really sacrifice the attack speed on an Ele-staff and switch over to Faf?
I'm kinda looking for some in depth answers so if you have any DPM calculations with attack speed and whatnot, would you mind posting them for me to follow?
Thanks so much!

Capping with BaM at CVellum would be ridiculous
[quote=ando2112]Pretty sure that capping with a BaM would be pretty hard...[/quote]

I'm going to use and Ele staff for training If I can 1 hit the mob and then get a fafnir staff for bossing. That's how I see the new bam's are because of the 60% less boss and the lower mg atk for the ele staff wouldn't be good for bossing but great for trainingg if you can kill the mob in 1 hit with a faster attack speed.
[quote=betaboi101]Else starves can be better if you're funded to the point where you can cap with one anyways. At this point, boss damage is useless and you're going to more or less want as much int percent int magic attack as possible aka si gloves will not be a viable option vs pure int gloves[/quote]

i just use a ele staff since i couldnt afford a perf faf
fafnir staffs are still better b/c if u think about it, using ele staff sacrifices 60% boss damage. That is a whole lot to make up for +1 weapon attack speed.
[quote=OldAura]I'd say work your inner ability to get +1 speed and maybe slap on a Nebulite for SI. Cubing for it doesn't gurantee good lines to complement it and cubing to Legendary is ultimately more costly than either option.[/quote]
S rank nebs werent released. i agree with that though
