Can someone tell me what should I use. A wand w/ shield or a staff.

[Docvoodo]

I know staffs tend to have higher damage but I want to use a shield, which should I choose?

[Windwaiker]

Have both so if you find that you're taking more damage than you feel comfortable, use a wand + shield. If you are a nuke Mage, and there's a good tank on your party, then use staff.

Hi there,
As a avid mage myself I prefer the wand, When you have a staff equipped you lose alot of armor. When you have a wand/shield you can keep most of the damage and alot more armor, I think its a nice trade :)

And to add to this
Wands and bracers make you look like a boss. Wands and bracer ftw

I currently have this one fire wand for level 33 that does 70-90 damage and a haunted doll.

Thr haunted doll is a shield.

For you you can compare stats between staff and wand w shield.

Where do I get the Voodo Wand and Shield, not to mention the Zombie Voodo Staff (I think that's what it is called)?

You can buy it in auction shoppe. The voodoo gear is rather rare.

These are are arguably the parts you'll need:

Mamboza's voodoo master helm
Mamboza's voodoo fire pin
Zombie's voodoo master robe
Copperheads voodoo doll OR Brainfreeze magic yeti eyeball

Here are the stats with the yeti eyeball:

Wand and bracer ftw i u nuke more effectively now

[Asicheenivy]

If you want more regeneration, use wand and shield, if you want more damage use staff. Staff mages in pvp are like bears. I suggest using staff for bears and birds and wand and bracer for mages.

I say wand is ....but depend

[kehlixia]

Definitely have both on hand I use wand shield when I don't have tank but I use staff when I got tank and my focus is healing group more than it is fighting
