Master Destro Staff = A very strong PvP weapon in some previous patches, but this weapon has been changed over the years and, as with bow and DW, the underlying skill - Destructive Clench - was also nerfed. The +600 weapon / spell damage window is so short you'd have to front bar this. May still be viable for PvP, if it fits into your playstyle.
Yeah, I believe a front barred Master's Ice Staff is decent in PvE for Frost Wardens with Destructive Reach as a spammable.
Keep them coming. I quoted from personal experience and maybe a little "received wisdom". I'm not fully up-to-date.El_Borracho wrote: »Some of the weapons are back in the PVE meta, for instance, the bow.
Resto Staff = I know nothing about healers, but some people were looking for this weapon in the groups I've been in.
DSA could be a whole lot shorter, if there simply was an option to cut the announcer.

the dialog has nothing to do with the spawn rates
during maelstrom enemies are spawning while there is dialog going on, both from the announcer and random NPC chatter
dragonstar was the first arena, so they included a 30 second wait time at the start of a round (nothing to do with the dialog), and then the actual waves seem to have about a 5 second wait in between them
even blackrose prison has dialog during the start of and during the waves but it doesnt prevent enemies from spawning
they purely just need to shorten the 30 sec wait time at the start of a new stage, and reduce the spawn timers between the waves of enemies
