What is Staff good for?
Staff is a (mid to long range) support weapon – the auto also cleaves up to 5 enemies through obstacles, it is very strong in some condi builds for the Virtue of Justice proc
Scepter is a mid range power weapon and the LB is a long range power weapon
Interestingly enough, they all offer some control skills
- Staff – Ward
- Scepter – Immob
- Longbow – Ward and Knockback when traited

It’s called the loot stick for a reason.
Tagging mobs for loot ( not doing any real damage though) and spam skill one in combination wih permeathing wrath in burn builds.
You can also use it in zergs for travel speed (symbol) but other professions do that much better and squat once in a while and adding might while being stationary.
In short its useless if you actually want to have any impact.
it should be an awesome support weapon after the upcoming core patch (warrior is getting one, so i bet y’all will too). it’s gonna be great for pvp bunkering & wvw zerging. loads of healing, might & area control- but not a lot of damage. pretty much a must have for bunker firebrand.
that’s assuming anet’s balance team have more brain cells than a two dollar bill. which ah, i hope they do. i really do. but ah, time will tell.

Did you hype yourself up for staff changes? Poor thing.
It’s a decent mid-long range support weapon, but you might as well pretend that it doesn’t have auto-attack.
It is a support weapon. It is actually decent now in sPvP with most recent buff. I think it is meta for WvW, but I might be wrong. As for PvE, never use it.
it is an overpowered bag tag weapon for WvW xD
Loot trains, frontline power/burn guardian in WvW.
“Lootstick” is a common WvW psudeonym

Great for commanding in WvW with. It offers a little bit of everything.
tagging → loot
Only thing that is superior on Guard compared to any other class, if they change staff to not be a lootstick anymore it would be more than pathetic and just another kick in the chest of all Guardian players.
and common sense.

/s?
Staff is a surprisingly high-damage condi weapon in pvp and wvw
Its huge range means you can easily cleave enough targets to trigger Virtue of Justice, which becomes dangerous once trait.
The autoattack also has very little means of countering it, since it’s not a projectile, and it can hit through walls.
However if you want my frank opinion, I don’t think it was designed to be that way. It seems like it was a failed 2012 attempt to make a Healing weapon, that got gutted with nerfs before the game even released, and pushed to the sidelines.
In my opinion, they should increase its healing capabilities and get rid of the cooldown increase on Orb of Light.

Not anymore….

Oh, boy, and look what actually happened. Oh, the irony…
headdesks
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.
I just can’t find any use of it … Scepter and LB are both much better ranged weapons.
pretty much… Even if they are making changes with the expansion in mind, that DOES NOTHING for us now.
And you think firebrand will be fine? haha, same thing like with staff.
