Staff is literal trash and needs buffs

Plasma Blast: Launch a ball of plasma that explodes on impact at your foes.

 

would be a cool skill if its hitbox was bigger than a grain of sand.

 

@Shao.7236 agrees so pls fix it asap this should be anets #1 priority

So ANet's number 1 balance priority should be buffing a single e-spec skill on elementalist's staff? The game's balance sure is in a better state than I thought...

don't waste time, we've been telling 'em since 2012 but they keep saying "Elementalist is where we want it to be" (the garbage can, I guess) so they are fine with things as they are

Weaver dule skills for staff should just be non projectiles as they are already slow and on long cast times. Other then weaver though staff needs some buffs at least giving burning to fire ball and bleed to stone throw (as well as making it aoe as well). Staff is lacking condi dmg as well as having effects that are simply out power creeped by newer skills such as healing rain only pulsing 3 times when you have skills on lower cd that pulse 5 times and have the same clearing effect. I also find water 1 heal being very out done by med kit 1 spam on both max healing and the ability to be blocked because its also a projectiles. Staff is magic not physical projectiles.

I would rather have "unblockable" on Weavers Dual Skills.

how about unblockable, better hitboxes, and more damage? Then it might be comparable with dh.
