Carnifex.3275 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 HFB uses staff all the time. It's a healing weapon.. 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Like Carnifex said. It's actually not bad as a 1200 range weapon even for damage, but it's overshadowed by scepter and (for dragonhunters) longbow. There are a lot of things that I'd consider higher priority. Like ele staff. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity.2876 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 People use it in key farming for the swiftness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eekasqueak.7850 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It is mostly a support weapon anf it already got reworked once. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 They did rework it, and its one of the best weapons in the game as a result. The kit is quite overloaded with support, and the only reason to ever swap to mace/shield is heal on autoattack. Though I do wish the #5 did something more useful in PvE. 5 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconwing.8105 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 It's a staple heal weapon in PvE and used in zerg builds in wvw. Seems fine to me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat.8975 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 The 5 is a little lackluster outside of PvP/WvW, but otherwise it's an incredibly solid support weapon. If we're going to rework any guardian weapons, hammer, scepter, and sword should be looked at first. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.5684 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 It is used in all game modes in some capacity. It would be nice if it can deal a bit more damage in pve. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosknight.3041 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 it's in a pretty good spot imo atm, maybe only the auto attack getting ally targeting for more direct healing. especially when random pugs keep running out of my staff 2,3 and 4. lemme heal you aaaaaaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kulvar.1239 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 They should revert the nerf to Empower in PvE. I don't understand why they wanted to remove 1 tick from it in PvE. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Guardian staff auto used to be meta at event trains - low damage, but high hit radius for kill participation rewards. I kinda hate that it was reworked. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Guardian specifically? Staff is still ok for it, in general the best way is thief with shortbow and a fire sigil on it afaik though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're willing to actively play, Willbender is pretty good for tagging thanks to its mobility and f1 resets. If you just want to mindlessly spam, staff or longbow are solid as long as you continue to tab target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also quite suspiciously a change that came in between firebrand being showcased and PoF going live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
