Well, staff is garbage anyways and needs buffs and significant energy reductions.

Staff is a must in PvP and roaming, no matter if you use a power or condition build. Even more, taking in consideration that aparently the shortbow has NO DEFENSIVE SKILLS I highly doubt about the Renegade being able to bring to the table a viable PvP/roaming build. And even if you’re talking about PvE, staff is the best defiant bar breaker tool in the game.

You don’t need staff in pve when all it takes is a druid quick draw lunar impact and wyrm F2 alongside the passive degen of other classes.

Costs far less DPS.

Or you can have one rev do one skill and get the effect of all those classes combined. A single staff 5 on a boss like in the Nightmare fractal can make up for three classes not offering any cc at all. Staff also has our best cleanse and a good block. It’s not a dps weapon, so if that’s all you look at it for, then yes, it will be bad in your eyes.

Or you can have the druid do it since the druid is not a revenant stuck on staff for 10 seconds doing absolutely garbage DPS just because he wanted to break a CC bar other groups can break through natural rotations instead of subpar weapons.

Assuming there is a druid in the party, and if other groups could break cc bars so easily, then I expect to never see any group wipe due to lack off cc…oh wait, that still happens because most natural DPS rotations don’t blow thier cc skills until they need to for that very reason.

Stop calling staff subpar because it doesn’t have the best DPS a rev can output. It’s not even like staff’s DPS is all that terrible. It’s a great weapon.
