    I am a big fan of the Soul Shriven Staff. Minimalist and functional.

    I like Hollowjack for destruction staves, it looks like a 2 pronged pitchfork and at the same time has something of a modernistic stylized devil's head, properly evil. Glass is great too, and for healing staves I always found Nord a good choice as it looks like a halfbreed between a Rod of Asclepius and a Caduceus, which seems a nice poke at the common confusion that often exists about these 2 symbols.

    As for Ebonshadow, to me it looks like something from the bottom of a (very large) cereal box. About as convincing as a Power Rangers sword.

    Ebonshadow is gorgeous, so elegant for a healer’s staff. I also really love buoyant armiger for a destro staff.

    I use the ebonshadow because for me it's the only one that appropriately suits a vampire lord.

    Perhaps I'm a bit unconventional then, I like the Assassin Staff.

    I have it as my flame staff and imagine that when heated, I'm slapping my enemies in the face.

    Well I like them :)

    O M G an ice staff and a vampire, yet standing in the sun.... I can't imagine how many staves you go through.

    That there is the problem. In PvP, I would spend so much time in close range casting light attacks that my group would boot me.

    When friends ask me to make them a staff and they "don't care about the style", I make them this style because it hilariously looks like a damn glove tied to a stick. The tooltip thumbnail looks even more goofy. Gotta admit that it's grown on me despite starting off as a joke.

    I always thought the ebonshadow staff looked too unwieldy. Now the Daggerfall Covenant (lion) staves or Ebonheart Pact (dragon) staves... those are functional and beautiful.

    I tend to run a Single Target/Boss Bar and an AoE/Trash bar. I like to use a Khajiit or Akavari motif on the AoE bar so I can see at a glance to the weapon what bar I am on. For the single target, I just pick something cool looking, as long as it is not the same as the AoE staff.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    At the very least, you can scratch the hell out of their back with that one. :D

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Therefore, i want to give some advice. Please give us ability on adjusting the size of our weapon, and if possible, on certain parts of our weapons. I can only speak for the staff users . i would be very much like to make the staff look longer and the decoration clearer. I dont want to see all ranged dps using the same look staff as it was before.

    I like that idea. I for one don't use the Ebonshadow staff, even though I really like its general look. But for me, it is just too big. If we could adjust the size to be larger or smaller, it would be way more appealing.

    I use the Assassin's style Staff as a healing staff. I like to imagine giving my groupmates a helping...hand xD xD

      I do not like that staff, at all.
      Although I'm a DC, I can admit that Pact staves look pretty cool.
