Q:

As the title says. I hit 30 with my Ele so I want to do AC and I figure a support build would be most handy. I made a set of 30 gear with +healing on several pieces. But I’m undecided on whether to use Staff or Scepter/Dagger. Both have two heals, and some good conditions (chill, blind, vulnerability, stun, etc). Which do you folks prefer for dungeon support?

Also, whats a decent healing rate to shoot for?

A:

all in all, staff is pretty superior to scepter/dagger for support
1-splash heal in melee of target
2-aoe vulnerability (would be nice to lower its cd though)
3-healing aoe you can also use for combos (have to do it fast though)
4-snare aoe which is always good to kite minions
5-aoe regen with a long duration which is nice for combos

if you got yourself a +healing set, you’d benefit more from it with a staff than a scepter imo… for now.

Staff by FAR.

Staff gives you water fields that you can blast finish for a ton of health (eruption, arcane wave, evasive arcana) and the gun/bow people will be comboing for mass regen.

I agree with the others S/D is an offensive-style weapon set
