I feel like I should point this out, the imbalance of the damage in resto staff isn't just an issue in dps disparity for pve'ers, it also largely affects gameplay in cyrodiil.
The fact that someone who has strong enough class abilities that they dont need a proper damaging weapon can just pick up a resto staff and can do MORE damage than anyone who uses a different weapon as well as having access to some of the strongest heals in the game is just straight gamebreaking for me.
I'm someone who refuses to pick up a line of play simply because it happens to be in the limelight, and I must say facing a skilled player with a resto staff makes it absolutely clear that this combination of superior damage and survivability doesn't belong in a pvp environment. If things go on this way eventually everyone will be running around in light armor and resto+destro staves healing themselves and spamming flames until one or the other person dies of exhaustion.
I know this is a well known issue but I suppose in my own frustrations I wanted to bring the subject to light in a context it normally isn't heard in: PVP.
Thanks for listening, sorry for whining, but until this is resolved I may be hanging up the towel for the ol' nightblade with a bow.
