Destruction Staff Passives

Hi all.

The Tooltip says now, „with destruction staff equipped“, you have the ancient knowledge passive active. Is this correct? Before patch, the tooltip says you have to slotted an destruction ability.

    It says with a destruction staff equipped, right. But its also written, that a skill needs to be slotted to gain the staff depending benefits.

    You definitely still need a skill slotted for it to function. Just verified.

    It's a tooltip / UI error.

    It used to look like this:

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Yeah, it's the only skill line that works this way. The passives in the other lines either affect all aspects of the line, or specific skills (which obviously would be on your bar by default for the passive to function).

    Tri-focus doesn't care if you're using a skill or not. Ancient Knowledge shouldn't either.

    I'd like to think it's their intention to correct this to match the tooltip, vice reverting the tooltip to match the (still) original requirement.

    They really should remove the skill requirement for the destruction staff line. Hopefully this is a step towards doing so.

    As much as this would help I personally don’t want that. DW magic specs are pretty much dead. This reason is one of the main things that is a deciding factor. Otherwise all Magic classes will use staffs all the time.

    And if Twin Blade and Blunt required you to slot a DW skill you'll never use, would you still feel the same way?

    I fail to see the relevance or the correlation. I won't even begin to cover how DW'ing as a caster (with weapons you're never going to use) has never made any kind of intuitive sense on any level.

    Necessity of a Destro skill to unlock a Destro passive is hardly a deterrent for someone choosing to, or not to DW. Never has been.

    There ;)

    I‘m on console. On console this is a completely different tooltip.

    Ok. Thanks for your answers.
