Everyone on this thread is comparing the stats of the staff to that of the gun. What's the difference between that and the stats of the blades compared to the bow? What matters is how it compares to the current best weapon for the class, correct?

The damage difference between the 2 weapons for the classes is higher on the rogue weapon than on the mage. So how is mage getting ripped off? The staff is closer in stats to the other mythic weapon you have to choose from. We may get more hp and crit with the blades but we sacrifice a huge amount of damage for it. 95% of rogues are not going to do that, making the rogue weapon equally as useless.

Looking at base numbers on a weapon stat sheet rarely tells the full story.
