I found it was good for locking down a single heavy hitter as you engaged it in PVE… making it 360 degree (2 pi for you engy grads!) PBAOE given how it can be fired off back to back might be a bit much.

Perhaps a cone with a 3 target cap?

yeah, but if you’re spending all your initiative keeping someone blinded, you’re not spending it doing damage.

the reason a circular PBAoE is important is because the daredevil playstyle demands it. weakening charge, vault, and all three special dodges cause you to have your back against the opposing player all the time. DD is a playstyle about getting in teamfights, and staff is a weapon that complements that with a lot of circular cleaving. dust strike can’t be used effectively with this playstyle because it demands you moving to the sidelines before using it properly.

Ok, you have point there. You do end up showing your bum to a lot of people while playing staff.
