going for staff… the only reason im using GS is because i like t3 asura GS, i much prefer staff playstyle

… feel kind of stupid for answering my own question though…

Using the staff and gs together great for leveling since 2 and 4 on the gs give you some aoe(3 does too but its a small area) plus iberserker is a good source of burst and then u have a knockback on 5. As for the staff 5 is an aoe with conditions and buffs for ur self if u stand in the field(very helpful) 3 is a phantasm that deals more dmg per condition on the target(i like to use 3 right after 5), 4 is chaos armor to apply confusion to any melee enemies that try to hit you and 2 is an evade. So for the early lvls running with both of these is fun cuz you got the aoe to handle multiple enemies so lvlin is a bit faster than if u went with any other weapon combo but at 80 i personally like to run GS/ Sword+Pistol

For leveling I love using both, then speccing for mind wrack damage, you get plenty of AOE and if you play it right the mobs will never be able to touch you, and if they get close you can always blink away, knock them all back, or tank with chaos field and chaos armour.

I like staff. The phantasm on GS has the tendency to aggro things I didn’t want to touch. Staff, since your clones are a good source of damage, is easier to stay alive with since you can avoid shattering until your cooldowns are up if you pick your targets well.

Offhand set is sword/focus or sword/pistol, depending on whether I remember to switch back to pistol before I start fighting.
