New Items - Progressive or Regressive?

[Ebezaanec]

Because staffs always have less damage than guns just like the daggers have less damage than bows and a shield weapon has less damage than maul.

Yes, staves, daggers, and shields have less damage then their counterparts... But they are supposed to have higher DPS as a tradeoff. Stat-wise, they don't look that impressive.

Their only saving graces are in the procs if they are effective at all.
