Grinding just make you go in circles.

Yes I agree, the heavy attack feels good; especially on sorcerer(surprise). Have not tried the ultimate thing though! Slipped my mind, will try it out no doubt.The Flyers1 -

✭✭✭✭✭LightningLightning for DPS. With a charged trait, and shock damage enchant.
Off-balance now gives Minor Vulnerability which is an 8% damage boost and will have 100% uptime with the above staff+WoE, and the CP star (forget the name) gives 10% more damage as well to "off-balance" targets.
Putting those two things together will give you results that rival Sharpened Inferno but with the bonus of being AoE, and I believe Lightning Staff can take advantage of Thaumaturge CP star as well.

AcadianPaladin✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭LightningMy magpie healer uses lightning on her destr bar. Mostly for its boost to AoE attacks since most of her attacks are AoE (Shards, Sweeps, Reflective Light). Prefer the splash damage to single target as well. Though she's a healer, when she has to fight, she can largely ignore adds because they will fall as collateral damage while focusing on the boss.
Magsorc is the same and even an easier choice since most of her attacks are AoE also and the sorc's bonuses to shock.
I think fire looks cooler though if that helps?PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo1 -
THEDKEXPERIENCE✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭LightningTechnically my front bar is sword and board and my back bar is lightning, but yes, lightning.
A really underrated part of both lightning and resto staves is that they work extremely well in laggy PVP situations. All else fails, just hold heavy attack and your staff will find targets for you. With the new resource regeneration nerfs it will be more important than ever.1 -

Sixsixsix161✭✭✭LightningLightning - because there's a constant connection to the bad guy by just holding the mouse button down, whereas with fire and ice you have to constantly push the mouse button. I feel that by having that constant connection, I do more damage than fire/ice.
Don't know if that's correct, but it makes sense to me lol.
However, I usually carry a fire and ice destro staff as backup in case I run into a lightning/electrical resistant enemy (which doesn't happen very often, if at all).
Also, you have to be careful going up against a boss and learn his behavior because most time you can't stand in one place and reach out and touch him for a long time without moving, so I strafe side-to-side.
As far as a resto staff, I use whatever does the most damage, just in case.
One thing I don't care for are the strange names, i.e., frost staff of lightning, lightning staff of fire, etc. I'd rather get the ones that are straight lightning because you don't have to recharge them.
I forgot, I also like it better for kiting in a straight line, or when there's not enough room to go backwards, I kite the enemy in a circle. So, again, that constant connection, to me, is much better.
