Guild Wars 2

Would you use it? Is there a role that staff can perform better than x/d?

staff in a small team pvp… ?? good luck with that.

they designed staff for guarding keeps in wvw. and thats it.

Any competetive team.. wont allow you to use Staff.
No survival, No escapes, Do dmg.
You can do a little AoE. but you wont land any.

In small pvp, everyone is more alert. and they also know that you are the weakest in your team. so either ignore you. or take you out in 2 hits. (send in a thief).
