my thoughts exactly! Lol I ran this dungeon 76 times before I got fed up a month or so ago. Ran a few more since then but still have only ever got 1 BSW staff and that was infused. Got a couple great swords and even a bow in Sharpened but they are worthless and should not even be in the loot table IMO. Never even heard of anyone getting a Sharpened sword (1H)
Anyone else using this set?
if you have the inferno staff - what triat you have managed to get?
The only staff I managed to get was inferno decisive trait.
for those using this set -what other armour set have you mixed with burning Spell Weave for your build?
Initially I didn't think bsw was that good but after testing more and mixing with other sets I am very impressed with it. It easy extremely easy and quick to proc the spell damage bonus and if mixed with the right set can be extremely strong.

I have both sharp and defending. They have their uses in PVP, but if you are farming for PVE, just stop it. It is not worth running IMO. The only potential build would be something like 5 BSW front bar and 5 Moondancer back bar, but everyone I know that has tried that set couldnt drop it fast enough. Your BSW uptime goes to crap if its just on one bar, and moondancer is a horribly buggy set to use. That build looks great on paper and is terrible in practice. For PVE, the armor is all you need. For PVP, again the staff sword and shield do have their uses, but I am not sure they are worth the grind.
As for the BSW set in general, it is Meta BIS gear in PVE. On NB, DK, and Sorc, it is paired with a monster set, 3-4 moondancer and a VMA staff. You dont need the BSW staff for any Meta PVE build.
Teach me the ways to swap armor on a bar swap. 5 Heavy to 4 Heavy on a bar swap.5 Heavy Kag w/ 5 BSW and 2 Valkyn (front bar)
4 Heavy Kag w/ 5 BSW and 2 Valkyn (back bar)
I first got "training" and then eventually I got "decisive". I've picked up at least FOUR sharpened BSW resto staves.

I actually never understood why people want this staff so bad. What is it good for? You use 5 BSW armor pieces, 2 monster set pieces, 3 trial/willpower jewellery and as a weapon either vMA staff or as 4th piece of trial gear, moondancer/infallible staff, then you dont really need BSW staff. If you dont have vMA or trial staff, you can use some random staff because you already have 5 pieces of BSW set, thus making BSW sraff redundant as a 6th piece of BSW. Can somebody explain this to me?

1. Never worked prior to homestead except for full heavies.
2. Currently atm only 1 person per group gets the benefit from it.
3. Current meta be 5x moon and 5x bsw and grothdarr.

Ok, but my question was not answered.
If I already have 5 BSW set pieces - chest, waist, legs, feet, gloves - best slots for bsw gear, why I need BSW staff? I might as well use random staff, because I already have 5pcs set bonus from armor slots, right?

No because the Moondancer 5th piece is extremely strong. Really only for temps and Dks. Start of Moondancer back bars drop dots amd pick up synergy and then go nuts on bsw bar. It's the only way to run both and a monster set.
Sharp lightning staff ftw

tbh while I agree, farming these staves was alot easier than getting a decent trait vma inferno (over 200 runs still 0 drops) or the even more elusive moondancer sharpened staff, I run both a sharpened lightning and inferno bsw staff on my magblade which allows me to keep the 4 moondancer (jewels, armor) and run ilambris and see some pretty decent results with it. probs took about 100 runs with a couple of others to get the staves.
