For what situations to use Staff or D/P in PVE.

For dps….. Why wouldn’t you use it?

Use what?

Staff or D/P?

Which one over the other?

Either or they are both very competitive Staff could provide more dps overall with the right build

So staff is better than dagger currently for DPS?

Depends on build and what pve content you are going for.

Staff is better for power DPS. Dagger is still very good if you feel like running it. Dagger is superior if you run hybrid instead of power.

Staff all around in PvE. This is not even a question.

This. There’s no contest vs nobrainer mobs.

Eh, idk, the Staff vs D/D still seems to be contested. I mean, even pre patch, the consensus tended to say to go with Staff only when you could reliably land all hits of Weakening Strike. MetaBattle put staff as the default weapon with D/D as an alternate, but Nike from DnT advocated D/D more as a primary weapon.

So far, it sounds like the staff and dagger got a pretty equal boost to AA damage and I’m not sure there’s a big difference between how much AA was involved in the rotation of either weapon set.

edit Also, to clarify, D/P is pretty much a PvP weapon set. D/D does better DPS and S/P does better utility in PvE.

It looks like I’ll be trying a few new weapons tonight.

Teef weapons aren’t balanced for PvE+PvP. It’s either use one of the other.
