Guild Wars 2

Soo.. what do you guys think about it. Would it be viable to have a staff set available while having the Shiro and i guess the Mallyx legend equipped.

I want to do like a shirt + mallyx and then go for sword+axe – staff set…
but after seeing the staff videos i feel like the staff is really lackluster, doesnt look remotely like it has anything fun to do with.

Anyone knows some special combo’s, tricks that would make staff with in a damage build or is it “healing power or bust :P”

Staff should be alright now in dps builds if autoatk is actually decent, we will find out tomorrow. Skill 2 is and will remain lackluster. Skill 5 is really strong burst which you dont want to end up being caught in.

I’ll be running S/S + Staff for all the situations where I don’t need to switch to ranged with Hammer. I actually prefer Staff over Mace.
Staff gives one of the best condi cleanses of the class, so it’s a valid replacement for Jalis and allows to run Shiro/Mallyx for max dps. It also makes you a little bit more tanky overall, even with fully offensive legends.
Plus I love staff #5

Staff DPS is about 25% lower than sword. You would not want to use staff 5 when in shiro stance as the energy is more valuable for impossible odds uptime.

Thanks for the info, I wasn’t planning however.

Yeah, thanks. Using 2-h hammer probably is a better combo, but its yust that i hoped there would as Woodenpotatoes said “be a more monktype damage melee staff type of thing” so i could show off my scythe skin to at the same time XD
