Guild Wars 2

It’s not surprising to me that the staff has low damage output seeing as it is a healing based weapon. But is there still a way to use it while providing good healing and decent damage? It seems I can either make it higher damage but then lose the purpose of it, or go full healing and tickle things to death.

Use all Berserker’s stat gear. Slot a Sigil of Transference. Consume Delicious Rice Balls. If you need a little more healing, use Rune of the Monk. If you don’t, use Rune of the Scholar. Now, your staff will do higher (than usual) damage while healing nicely because of outgoing healing % modifiers instead of crap healing power stats.

still have in mind that the damage from the staff is aroud half the phisical damage the shortbow does.
you can go condi, but then you’ll be stuck with the subpar shortbow, the wonky axe or thw nightmarerish sword.
