Why would someone use two destro staffs for weapon swap

I have read about this and am curious what the advantages are. I am a lv 34 altmer dk and am trying to put together a build for myself but I'm still learning. I currently use dw for my second bar and destro on my first bar. I would like to build a firemage type.

✭Well, if you are building a single-target bar, and an AoE bar, I could see doing this.
1 bar for things like Force Pulse and other ST abilities
1 bar for Impulse and other AoEs or buffs.5 -
IdesofMarch2✭✭Yes Aett!!!! That's what I was just reading about. And I never thought of that before. Seems like a good idea. I just have to figure out which skills are single and aoe lolRuns with the A.D.

That is your answer right there.
Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

The build still pulls decent numbers now and may be special once the v16 stuff is acquired, we'll see.

This is exactly why my magicka DPS setup uses 2 destro staves. I could also imagine that someone might want to use a different type of destro staff on each bar to get different elemental effects.Aett_Thorn wrote: »Well, if you are building a single-target bar, and an AoE bar, I could see doing this.

This
I myself have been contemplating using two different types of destroy staves when soloing now that they fire staff isn't quite as powerful as it use to be (I currently use a resto staff as my second weapon, but as a Templar, I don't need it for heals). Has anyone tried going fire on one bar and lightening on the other. I love the extra damage the fire staff does, but I'm missing the stun from destructive clench. The loss doesn't affect me for group content (I play a healer and use a totally different build when in groups), but I did like that ability for soloing.

✭I heard that some NPCs are weak against lighting and others (almost all) are weak against fire -- one could carry one of each type for the type of NPCs that are facing.0 -
IdesofMarch2✭✭I just tried it out. Works pretty well. I just have to figure which skills to put in the bar. I'm using two fire staffs but may use restoration and fire or shock.Runs with the A.D.

My caster sorc runs a frost and shock staff in pvp. The shock staff is for disintegrate and now that the heavy attack hits 6 targets with the aoe I can get a decent number of procs, and frost staffs snares and ranged root are great at burning stamina with how the game changed.0 -

Yes, and another 15 class skills to fill up the 10 skills on the weapon-swap bar. (Not counting all the other lines)Edited by Darlgon on September 5, 2015 12:16AMPower level to CP160 in a week:

Well to be honest, the passives alone alter how each element staff works, let alone how the Reach and Wall spells alter between the elements. I would just say each fits different roles and if you're trying to work with those different roles then using two destruction staves isn't a bad idea.0 -

The reason why I do it comes down to having to types of skill attacks but using the inferno staff.IdesofMarch2 wrote: »I have read about this and am curious what the advantages are.
One skill tree uses three lightning skills while the other uses dark magic. Both have daedric summoning (so I don't lose my pets when I swap).
I'll throw down lightning spells for the DoT attacks then swap over for the more contact damage (crystal shards, clench).
I see no reason to use any other type of weapon. In fact, I'm trying to get this down to a point I don't use my staff at all and play strictly magic. This will take a little time as I need to level up all my skills.
