Edit: Benefit for lighting . I have heard from multiple sources the HA it give back more magicak than Fire and Frost. But the feel is more important. With the WoE you can have an enchantment firing constantly and providing benefit to you or the group. I.E. a shock enchant helps with off balance.

Lighting blockade cause off balance - heavy attack on off balance restore double the resources. But less viable than single resto heavy.
Good point, SPC trigger on HoT even on destro staff, Olorime only on resto staff AoE giving far more control.WrathOfInnos wrote: »SPC on a single bar results in terrible uptime. I would suggest Olorime, since it can be used from the back bar every 30s and DPS can get great uptime.
The lightning staff is for both Elemental Blockade (causing off-balance) and Ele drain, and bonus points if you have a Shock Enchant on that staff (for Minor Vulnerability, nearly as good as IA set).
Unless you are doing a lot of light and heavy attacking, a Maelstrom lightning staff isn’t very beneficial.
I believe the meta build is an Olorime lightning staff on the back bar to complete the 5-piece, with a unique restoration staff on front bar. I’ve seen Master, Maelstrom, Asylum, or Blackrose resto use effectively. This setup also leaves room for a Monster set and another 5 piece set active at all times (Worm, Jorvulds, Mending, Sancuary, etc.)
