I have been reading the forums for some time now. I have been playing an Ele since Beta. I pose this question to the Devs of Anet and who ever else shares my opinion.

Is the Staff being looked at and tweaked at all for Damage purposes? I am not trying to complain and I already know how strong the daggers are vs any of the weapon choices. I just want to be able to use a staff as an ele. I feel like as a mage class, range dps should be a stronger point, not melee duel dagger.

if Im not mistaken there are only 2 devs on balancing, whether we want it or not they will have some bias, with that aside (and lets say miraculously they are perfect uman beings without any bias) I highly doubt any red will come to the forums and post anything related to a profession.

As for other people, I think by now everyone agrees staff is bad, those who keep insisting it is ok are probably thinking about the CC (which i admit, is good, but can only be used to run away in small skirmishes scenario) or are D/D eles, or ultimately, some people from other professions who have come to complain about D/D.

Heck, I have yet to see any enemy EVER complaining about staff ele, I have even heard people complain about engineers, but for the 700+ hours I have been playing staff ele I have yet to see anyone complaining about them, if anything they say something like; “lol, i know you are an easy target, next time I will go for you first” …. and all it takes is a sneeze to downs us.

“but eles dont die!!” Sure, PVT ones dont, the rest….go down faster than my bank account balance.
