So, I like the variety of different staves in the game, but there’s a particular set of features I believe to be underrepresented.

Radial symmetry
Small-ish head
subtle particle effects

Emberspire is nice, but the fire theme doesn’t match everyone.
Imryldyeen is one of the nicer staves, but it’s hard for me to match that green with armor.
Monsoon I really like, but it has similar problems to Emberspire.
Warden staff is really good, but doesn’t really speak “magical” to me.

Some staves look great on asura, like Modniir, Whisper’s, and Pact, but the heads look comically large on other races.

Bifrost basically perfectly matches all the features I like, and I’m fairly certain the lack of other nice staves is why it’s such a popular legendary.

I’d like a staff that looks sortof like Gandalf the white’s staff but with alot of light coming from the spiral at the tip, but before that I’d like to be able to dye my weapons.

Dyeing is the big thing. I would love to dye my Crossing to glow blue instead of green to match my guardian.

Dyed weapons would be super cool.

I would prefer customizable portions of legendary weapons. Of course, this capability would be unlocked through the gemstore while the items made with them would be acquired in game.

I.e.
Bifrost:
Unlockable 1: Customizable rainbow hue colors
Unlockable 2: Colored Gem sockets across the wand
Unlockable 3: Additional footfall/streaks when moving
Unlockable 4: Customizable tip fragment colors

The ascended staves are nice. They have slight particle effects but no where near the bifrost.

It doesn’t quite match the symmetry but delusion is quite beautiful too.

So you are looking for staves to match your outfit? And the current ones don’t have the ‘magical’ feel you are looking for? Am I getting that right? Not trying to be rude or anything, just trying to understand. However, if this is the case, the staves in and of themselves are not magical, but rather a focus for the magic user. In the Sea of Sorrows book the elementalist uses a random piece of wood as a staff because his has been lost. This explains it better. Although I can see the wanting of better weapon skins, and the ability to dye and customize them much like the armor. I would love that feature as well.
