Should Magic-users do more damage with Staves than when Dual-Wielding?

✭✭Yes, Sorcerers using Staves should do the most damage with their Spells.Giving the best raw spell damage to a weapon with infinite sustainability will be a poor gamedesign decision.
Only because some conservative people want to play their sorcerer like it was in 90's fantasy Rpg and have the best stats.
All Magical user are not Sorcerer and don't have a broken ultimate , currently staves are for elemental damage dealer and DW for Magical damage dealer.
It's not because Gandalf have a staff in his hands that all Sorcerer in every fantasy Rpg should use a Staff.
If you want exact raw spell damage and each weapon you need to have magical ability and utility on all weapons to balance them.
Actually it's pretty funny that some people think that the fact that sorcerers do more spell damage while dual-wielding (and 2H weapons as well!) is perfectly reasonable. I quess it's just very convenient (but certainly not reasonable) for people who, as sorcs, use dual wield because they just like to deal damage this way.Edited by Tyrion87 on January 19, 2016 2:47PM0 -

Yes, it is (with current state of the game). You have more raw spell damage with DW but no sustain, with Destro staff you have infinite sustain and useful skills but less raw spell damage. Before 1.6(2.0) this game was call Elder Staff Online because Destro staff was OP , even before players were using resto staff to do damage because it was the best weapon.
Again, giving all weapons the same raw spell damage will need a complete change of all weapons to make them viable against destro staff for magic user, if not build diversity will take a huge hit in the face (no more spellswords).
It's a balance problem not an aesthetic or RP problem, and balance is one of the most important thing in a multiplayer game,
RPers doesn't care about the best weapon and put destro staff on their sorcerer or a sword on their spellsword character, only players that play FOTM build use DW for more spell damage.

Resipsa131✭✭✭No, it's perfectly reasonable for Sorc's using Dual-Wielding to do more Spell damage.
Spectral Bow can't be proc'd without using basic attacks, I guess you could be light attacking with dw but if you were doing that I'd just spec stamina and be a Stamblade.Well even if they do magic damage and are buffed by magic CP they still benefit a lot more from dual wielding than using a staff due to dual wielding having much higher spell damage than staves which CPs cannot alter at all. basically staff=DPS loss for those who use them.0 -
Sugram22✭✭✭Yes, Sorcerers using Staves should do the most damage with their Spells.the thing that DW Gives More Spell Dam Then Staves Needs Nerf or fix, Staves suppose to give more spell dam then other wep!!! that's how Mages in mmo's are & have been sins the beginning of mmo's, its rule that can't be broken!!!!
SO I AM A BIG YES!!!!

Sugram22✭✭✭Yes, Sorcerers using Staves should do the most damage with their Spells.well magic NB'S with other wep will be worried about it so they should get Passive to make them at lest same lvl with spell dam that any staff user would be, no matter what wep they use, that is when they fix or Nerf that DW high spell dam0
