Guns usually have more damage than staff, so gun.

Gun have the whole long distancd advantage to them, and I also tend to think their proc comes faster, maybe just me?

I used to be all about guns, now just staffs. For pve I'd way rather hit 3 for good damage opposed to hitting one for great damage. Generality is guns do more damage and staff more dps, vs mobs use staff vs boss or for pvp gun.
I wouldent call the immo staff useless vs hex due to the added health and other stats, but hex is great for its price.

Never used Immo gun but I heard hex staff is better for bosses.

I don't doubt that, wildfire is still very effective even after its nerf.
Personal choices, sometimes you have a lot of red zones to run from and guns are great.
If I wasn't cash poor at the time I never would have sold my hexstaff. Might even buy another they're so good

I agree. There are many situations(like not having a good tank) which you have to run and spam skills without being able to hit with staff. The gun would be perfect in that case.

i dont know much about this but why would u get HEX over STR for secondary stat? (Hexsteel over Hexcharge)

Dex gives extra crit and damage. If you have enough survivability go for it.

I like gun. True dmg is lower, but the range is great for bosses and kiting.

I use gun personally because it looks cooler. Lol. But it is also good for bosses and single target damage. :D
