Resto staff is meant for heals and support not your main dps solo.
I never even equipped one until I hit 15 and could weapon swap.
Thats not true. If you only use class abilities, the resto staff is the clear winner because of its passives. 10% more damage with all spells, 10% mana regen on heavy hits, AND you can use healing spells with it.

An restoration staff don't have any offensive abilities and most of its passives increase healing and magic regen making it a bit weaker than a bow or destruction staff with all the passives.SexyVette07 wrote: »A butter knife is better for soloing than the resto staff.

How does this weapon work for soloing? What is the attack actually doing? is it a viable weapon to specialize in for soloing purposes, or for two-man levelling/questing?
I'm considering trying out the nightblade healer everyone's raving about, kind of a shadow priest using siphoning and resto staff attacks, I just have never used a resto staff and i'm a bit confused as to how it really works.
Would a destruction staff be better for soloing?

The resto staff skill line is utter trash outside of the mediocre passives. Both warden and templar have drastically better heals than the staff. The warden can give major resistances for both spell and physical resistance to ALL allies nearby while the resto staff can only give minor. Not to mention with the lotus flower active your basic attacks heal for far more than the resto staff can AND you have the passive that every heal (ie every basic attack) from the warden class grants 10% max HP buff to everyone healed. Heal over time? That is the absolute worst crap this game could have put in for both late game pve and pvp. The ONLY good thing in the resto staff is the damage shield but even that is trash; the only way its good is if you use it on an incredibly low health ally. But youre the healer. You should be HEALING the low health ally. In pvp you want the damage abilities on the destruction staff so you can at least try to survive a fight because sitting in the back trying to solely heal your friend is going to get you jumped on and massacred in .3 seconds. And in pve most bosses do massive damage late game so heal over time is utter worthless and a minor damage shield isnt going to save anyone. As for solo? There is never a time to use a resto staff solo
