✭✭✭Inferno StaffThe real problem is that the best option is a combination of two - Inferno/2H, and Daggers (probably, might change every week or so).1 -
KilianDermoth✭✭✭✭Dual WieldFrontbar:
Highest (potential) Damage: probably Dual Wield.
Easiest to play / works everywhere (and thus sometimes stronger): Inferno Staff
Backbar:
Two Handed Maelstrom Weapon2 -
SteamKitten01✭✭✭It really depends on the dungeon/trial and fight. Sometimes you want ranged weapons (e.g. Asylum Sanctorium) while other times you can stand in melee and just parse. Similarly in some boss fights you might be given either an assigned melee or ranged position and you need your gear accordingly.
Assuming you can be in melee range most of the time and parse on the boss, dual wield front bar and greatsword backbar does some of the best damage for boss fights. Infernos with flame pulsar pull great numbers in AOE/trash fights.SteamKitten01- GM of The Traveling Torchbug (PC/NA)1 -
SPR_of_HA_community✭✭✭✭See resultTwo handed looks even more popular, that I think. The same as Inferno staff.
It is strange, that - for now - no one vote for a bow. It looks like good weapon too.0 -
KilianDermoth✭✭✭✭Dual WieldI wonder more about that someone has choosen Ice Staff. Is the reasoning behind it brittle or did a tank / healer vote in this poll?0

May be warden DD with some interesting ice build.0 -

✭✭See resultI have hardcore procrastinated dealing with skill and CP resets on my chars. Only one in fighting order is my casual overland 2h/bow stamsorc in overland gear.0 -
M0ntie✭✭✭✭✭Dual WieldIt does depend in the trial or dungeon. But usually daggers front bar and 2h or inferno back bar.0

Raammzzaa✭✭✭✭✭Dual WieldPersonally, I think dual wield is the easiest to weave, and always looks cool too.1

It is really strange, because it is my second/third favorite weapon. It is not really so bad, that 0% ... it is better than lightning staffs now any way. I thought at least 7-10% will be bow.
But 40% for duals is unexpected too. I think
that it would be about 30-33%1 -
PrimusTiberius✭✭✭✭Inferno StaffI've also been seeing a lot of Inferno on Front bar and Dual Weild on back barEveryone is going in one direction, I'm going the other direction0

✭✭✭✭✭Inferno StaffHard to know what you mean by best. My preference has always been fire staff.
DW/2H is pretty much meta on every class for humping a dummy or on any trial fight where melee is possible. You can usually swap in an inferno front bar without too much DPS loss in most content, and if the fight requires movement, inferno can pull ahead.
The biggest issue we have right now is that 2H back bar is too strong (or inferno and bow are too weak).0 -
aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Two HandedI swear I never see other people spamming wrecking blow, but when you weave that sucker with LA it just packs... well a wrecking blow (even more before U35, but whatever). You get a super fast little double bounce when it hits: "ding ding" that is the perfect LA weave. I try and try but just can't do as much damage with other weapons to the point where all my stam chars are 2H now! lol0

KilianDermoth✭✭✭✭Dual Wield
The thing is that its not about how good it is compared to the best and its now how much anyone likes a weapon but its about which weapon performs better.SPR_of_HA_community wrote: »

And destruction staff as also Dual Wield are almost always better options than the Bow even Two Handers are better in most cases.
For Lightning Staff there are at least a few scenarios why someone could call them best.
They can be really strong in AOE scenarios (especially specific builds) if the adds are stacked well (stronger than flame Staffs btw.), especially on Sorcs.
Also they were always one of the top choices for heavy attack builds (PVE and PVP).
But Bow, meh, its probably only best for a few Bow Gank Builds in PVP.Edited by KilianDermoth on September 7, 2022 6:41PM1 -
MEBengalsFan2001✭✭✭✭✭Dual WieldThe problem I have with staves and bows is that the base damage of these weapons are lower than DW and 2H. Yet like DW and 2H they both require 2 hands. Both of these weapons base damage should match that of DW and 2H. Instead the base damage is that of a 1h weapon. As for abilities, if the ability is 15m or less in range it should do more damage than abilities that have a range of 28m. If the devs gave staves and bows an increase in base damage than I would be selecting staves over DW or 2H.Edited by MEBengalsFan2001 on September 7, 2022 6:07PM0

MudcrabAttack✭✭✭✭✭Dual WieldI only play Bow/Bow anymore, but any time someone asks me this question I just pitch whatever other people say is meta since they probably won’t like the bow/bow performance anyway.
Can bow/bow demolish trash mobs and bosses in seconds? Absolutely, but so few ever enjoy it, or they just can’t make it work. Hawkeye requires good weaving and most people don’t like the slow-channel spammable, and the new bow/bow players tend to stand far away from all the buffs and heals after they read about Long ShotsEdited by MudcrabAttack on September 7, 2022 7:11PM0 -
EnerG✭✭✭✭✭Two HandedIt honestly depends on the build, but for me it's 2h, I prefer to use dual wield but I like the buffs that 2h can give in rally and passive when u feel like "cheating" my rotation0
