The Wyzamiro Staff.
This most recent event included some cool vendor reward items and a continued rare loot drops in the event map; as well as being able to purchase Lv105 Elite weapons.
This was all fun and exciting! I was finally able to use and hand-test the Lv105 Wyzamiro staff.
(Pve): In pve the staff seems to fare pretty well. The staff offers mages some added damage over the wand and bracer which makes farming in groups very fun. The proc also looks cool when it happens.
(Pvp): Now here's where I first began seeing a few issues with the staff when it comes to general usability.
The first notable thing was the staff's proc rate. The proc rate pales in comparison to the bow proc rate. The arothraxis bow seems to proc 2 or 3 times in a fight, sometimes even more and consecutively; whereas the Wyzamiro staff.. you'd be very lucky to get one proc off in any fight. A proc rate buff would really help this 2h weapon out..
Another issue seems to be it's very low range. The staff range appears to be as low as the wand (8m range.) This low range once again falls way short in fights vs the bow's 13m range. Due to the staffs trade-off reduced armor to the wand and bracer combo.. this means that sometimes, you can't even get close enough to bow user to auto and proc.
Lastly, the staff's proc seems to debuff crit, dodge and armor from what I've tested. The debuff doesn't seem to help much in fights; not only because it sometimes doesn't proc, but also, when it does proc.. the proc duration is very small. From hand testing it with friends in pvp, the debuffs when proc hits seem to last about a second and a half at most. This should also be buffed in order for the proc to be viable in pvp.
Hope this feedback helps!!! Thanks for taking them into consideration!
