poisonedshotz 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 If you have ever looked at the formulas for Dias and other used mage skills other than death ray, you would see that Lvl 10 Dias has --83(+Spirit/2 +min Wand AP*2) - 128(+Spirit +max Wand AP*2)--. I have a pretty average 111 mage with average weapons. For me with 536 spirit and with spirit elemental this is my damage: Wand--83(+528) - 128(+898) = 611-1026 Staff--83(+576) - 128(+954) = 659-1082 My Abs and Def(orb) Wand-- 123, 2229 Staff-- 102, 1715 For weaker mobs would you change to staff?

Wiz 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 Most Mages do change to staff on weaker mobs yes... then to wand and orb or shield for harder... to me if i can use the staff ok... then im in way to low a lvl... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cuteako316 12 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 for me totally worth it! i kill easier especially in SOD which means more kills = more gold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edgardo 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2011 It's not a huuuge difference. Maybe in Sod, as ministop said. But for leveling i feel more comfortable with wand, since i feel like i don't tank shit. Let's see hos it goes with the new ABS formula, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randyhuynh 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 not really much different in PvE between wand and staff PVP wand and staff have a big different so if ur PVE doesnt matter much, but ill go wand to train sod etc but hunting staff PVP wand too but staff can kill faster and higher dmg but ull die very quick since mage have no tanking ability in BC so 1on1 staff aoe wand to survive and spam more skill if u cant tank the map with 2 hand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
