I am running with a one handed and shield and a bow, mixing range nuking and close aoe dmg, its an amazing build, currently i am 36 and i lvl by taking out groups of 4-6 mobs lvls 40-43 at reapers march since i lvlv really fast this way, i am also a vamp almost maxed which helps a lot, i use piercing armor, lightning form, surge, lightning splash and drain essence, after ill get the poison mist ill change the surge so i can do more aoe dmg while blocking and bashing targets.

for long range i use scatter and snipe from thge bow tree and from the dark i use crystal and the curse from daedric and mines so if they get close BABOOM, honestly i use the bow only on pvp when i go 1 vs 1 or when i wanna snipe from a distance or in pve when a boss have fire aoe that hurts a lot.

i use a mix of medium light and heavy 2-2-3 rings all with fire resist and you need to make sure ut max megika and stamina and health are all balanced, it took me a while to get this right and i feel this is a great build honestly i do an amazing amount of dmg and i am semi tanky so i take almost no dmg using bats and drain essence...

Sorry for the crappy english

resto staff is good option to try IMO.
Use the heavy attack to regen power when low (untill u get better options open up), and a spot heal if desired. Its a good way to level if you all-ready prefer to play pretty ranged and heavy magic use.

A lot also like using a Bow for a secondary ranged ability that uses STA pool in stead of mag. IDK much about it I never used one.

I have tried out dual destro staffs for AoE. I use fire and shock to get advantage of multiple proc types and take advantage of mob weakness. I liked it, but I still prefer resto for more versatility and self preservation.

Pick up a two handed weapon. Nuke, stampede, uppercut, crave, reverse slash.

Many of the passive two handed traits also enhace spell dmg as well. They also help for some bosses

How do you get the regen, is it with passives or something?

It is just part of the resto staff attack from the start. I only noticed it after I installed a combat text mod and saw the numbers. I probably skipped some help tip on resto staff or something in the beginning that told me.
