    Actually stamina sorcs dual wielding swords spamming with no sorc skills at all seems to be the new meta...

    It's just to get more spell damage. It doesn't mean staves are obsolete now. As @UltimaJoe777 said, play however you want to play

    I don't know how many players just use a restoration staff as their weapon of choice but I do it. It's real hard work but survivable. I need a stronger one in terms of damage...
    Varens staff is hardly scratching the same level enemies and mostly I get to running away, letting them regain health. Not great for levelling up.

    Dw is better damage if you are not light/medium weaving. Weaving with a destro staff will produce more damage but less burst from skills and spell dmg.

    I used one primarily until I got Healing Ward levelled up, then I switched back to dual swords. If you're not able to craft your own, The Crozier of St. Pelin would be a nice resto staff if it had a better trait, but it does do unresistable damage so could be worth checking out.

    I did get that one and although the unresistible damage was attractive I found it to be weak as heck. Maybe because I slightly out levelled that part as I had to come back to it.
    I can't craft my own staffs nor great clothing due to putting every available point into battling. I have too little time to stop and craft again. Being a vampire wearing light armour and a resto staff user I need restoration with me at all times. Yes I suck hard at this game. It's just the way its been dealt to me. I dislike the great random with every fiber of my very being.

    Sorcs use them on their execute bar because they don't need to weave staff attacks when they're just spamming mages wrath or overload with their twilights blocking everyone's view lol

    My main uses a restoration staff in fact I find it much more useful than the destruction staff. but I do have to slot a melee weapon as well so either a bow or sword and shield are for me
