Staff Tanking Passive

To build off the discussions that have taken place, a question: What if there was a passive for the Destruction Staff line that said "Fully-charged heavy attacks with a destruction staff taunts the enemy to attack you for 15 seconds. While a Destruction Staff equipped, blocking costs magicka instead of stamina"? To allow those who want to use magicka tanking (whether as the primary or on their off-hand) to have more options.

✭Clearly we should be able to pick which hand a 2H weapon is slotted in primarily. Put a Destruction staff in your 'shield' hand primarily, and you get defensive passives like returning a % of damage taken as fire damage to your foe (fire), creating a defensive shield (lightning), or a passive slow nearby and damage reduction (frost)? All with the 'blocking consumes magicka' part, of course.

SirCritical✭✭✭✭✭The 'tanking staff' passives need to be adjusted to be at least on par with 1HS passives, or better (since when wearing a staff you lose a setbonus-slot).1 -

There is literally no way that you haven't read the ice staff passives and made the exact thing they do.
I'm gonna say you forgot when you read this, but I reserve the right to call B.S.

@Phica_Lovic I believe this is entirely intentional, and the OP means to say they wish the whole tank/magicka block thing was a seperate optional passive from the elemental affinity. If you quote someone, and intend for them to see what you have said, be sure to Mention them with @[insert name].0 -

The point of it was to simultaneously separate a tanking passive bonus from an otherwise DPS passive while opening up additional options for tanks (perhaps a Sorc tank would want a lightning staff over a frost staff give their class passives).0
