Should EStaves 5-8 get a small buff?
I'm just wondering how many others feel the same way. I know they have that small element boost, but they're Lv163 weapons with ~30-40 less Magic Attack than even the Lv150/160 ones.
I know I'd like mine to be on par with similar leveled weapons, instead of having to downgrade to a lower leveled staff just to improve.

How? Ele staff was made ore big bang and the best non GMS weapons back then was level 120 weapons.
@guerratrades: I'll be sad because I HAD the option to go for EStaff8 but didn't go for it, effectively making me lose out on 15% dmg if they do change it
[quote=GoXDS]agreed. so sad that EStaves are comparatively so subpar. too much invested in Emp and Estaff that I can't go back since I'm not willing to spend more on this game anymore.
as for how to buff, it would be somewhat difficult for Nexon to increase base matk and adjust existing EStaves. the simpler method would just be to fix the boost.
if they do that though (which they probably won't), I'll be sad come RED since Estave bonuses are fixed and I have EStaff7 and CL is main attack.[/quote]
Why would you be sad? Even if they changed them to pre-BB boost (25% and 10% element boost) it's still a boost. Plus who knows? Maybe once 5th job comes out 25% Ice boost might come in more handy than lightning.

@OrionTempest If you only buffed up the Element bonus, that would hinder (or rather, just ignore) BaMs lol
I'm not completely sure on the Empress ones, I just brought up EStaves since they're Level 163, but get outperformed by the lower leveled Fafnir and Terminus weapons.
Even just buffing the element bonus to the Pre-BB 25% would be enough.
copied from SP response:
Yes they should, to make them kind of on-par with similar-leveled weapons. But I also think that the empress set effects should be buffed up too because there are plenty of empress staff/wand users (like me ) and they shouldn't get left behind either.
There's another HUGE underlying problem: Why is Tyrant gear like 50 times more powerful than everything else? This is not fair at all. They should buff up a lot of things to be close to as powerful as tyrant gear (or nova at least) imo.
