Master staves rework. What would it look like?

If I was given the chance to change these weapons to benefit pve as well as PVP.
Wish it would buff dots by like 10% and be the magic version of deadly strike that Stam has.
Or if it reduced the cost of abilities by 8%. That would make it well worth having.
But to buff one half of one skill is very minimal if you ask me.

could make it a magicka version of the Masters Bow adds 300 spell damage against the effected target.

Automatically applies elemental drain to your target, so you dont have to slot it

all the offensive Masters weapons add a set value of damage do the associated skill. And there may be a weapon for ele drain int he future.

maybe if they added a bonus to the DoT as well, since it has now been nerfed. But the reason Master Bow is used so much if because it affects all skills against the target.

The problem with the Master Destro staff is that ZOS changed Destructive Touch to behave more like a regular single target dot instead of a dot+utility effect skill but made one morph trade the dot effect and range for the stun/knockback/inmobilize. You can't change it to make it work similar to the Master Bow because it would only work with 1 morph. Increasing the dot damage would also only work with 1 morph.

You could do something like remove the cost reduction and add a 10 seconds 300 Spell Damage buff after using the skill, maybe increase the direct damage buff a little or just remove it and increase it on the Clench morph, so one morph is dot+range and the other is spammable+utility effect, in both cases a Spell Damage buff would be useful.

Honestly it's a straight ( weak ) PVP option and it getting a rework might never happen tbh

Look at Blackrose staves........never made it to the top .........Perfected asylum was nerfed when weapons become two pieces of a set..........and now master staves. They are now just an item with limited situational use in my bank. I thought with the buff to the three piece sets they would make a comeback but........:(

I had a difficult time theorycrafting with Master staves during this last month of PTS.

So, this is a timely thread, @Somber97866.

Thanks for starting it.

The master's lighting staff is a potent AOE that hits like a hard cast frags which is nice but the other two leave a lot to be desired. Would liek to see some stats added on to them and the maelstorm gear

They had extra ( bonus) stats but the criers got to it and ZOS removed them a while back.
Why wouldn't they make them like the master bow though I wonder? The bows are almost always OP asf.
IM NOT SAYING THEY NEED A NERF OR ADJUSTMENT! For the love of GOD , no more nerf's!
They do need the extra bonus stats back at the least in my opinion
