Back to wizard staves

[Bogenbroom]

Assuming, of course, that Wizards wielding staves instead of dual clubs is a desired outcome, then the staves should have something to compensate for the loss of flexibility dual wielding clubs allows. Maybe in a non-caster direction. Like, say, 4 slots for caster type enhancements (making up for the 2 for each hand) and clickie type slots and/or a defensive type slot. Add an acid guard or fearsome to it.

Just a thought.

Personally I'd like to see a general weapon and item crafting system put in place.

I used to have a Wizard I played in tabletop that wielded a Large Falchion with monkey grip. Yeah, it was a little odd but it added to my characters flavor.

I would LOVE to be able to make a variety of weapons that would be usefull to me while at the same time being graphically "different" then what I see everyone else running around with.

Maybe add a "stone of change" recipe where you can put a weapon in with a "form" to change a "+2 Club of Superior Potency V" into a "+2 Axe of Superior Potency V".

They will never give us (alright, maybe, but only a WF should bother holding their breath) a functional crafting system.

As for what a 'real staff of power' should look like, next time you go to the Shroud, check the Yellow Wizard bones out, and look at -that-...now that is a real mage stick...heh

Or the radiance scepter in Rainbow...that in a staff I would love.

Yes, when I think of 'wizard' I think of 'two-handed stick of magely power' not 'pair of random things that happen to have mage bonuses'.

No, I really don't expect them to ever do anything to fix that.

(yes, just on the off <bleep>ing chance I have kept almost every collectable I've ever found, but I mostly play 'forges, and we can hold our breaths a -really- long time)

Honestly though, GS for melees has everything and the kitchen sink attached to it, plus a really neat clicky or 'occasional on hit' effect...or both.

The caster version (arcane or divine) has almost nothing...heck, I can get higher lore and potency from random chests than what I can get with a set of large devil scales.

Sure, with a full T3, we can get +9 to a casting stat...I would rather have Greater Arcane Lore, or Greater Potency (Sup.Pot is better but my cleric uses BB and Heal so GP), or Spell Penetration.

Heck, last I looked, you couldn't get full Potency or Lore at all with GS, meaning Skivver and Green Blade for lore in a weapon, and potency not at all.

Yeah, mages really get some good stuff...and most of it is from random chest pulls.

Also, it would really be nice if there was something for casters (divine or arcane) that -didn't- require us to be 12~14 before we could even start trying to get it...most crafted stuff is really only "pick your end rewards" rather than actual crafting, and that's all Shroud or higher.

What, I'm supposed to put something here?

+1 rep for knowing what monkey grip actually does (and having a large falchion wielding wizzie).

One thing I'd like would be for the weapons on the corpses in the Shroud to become available as end rewards for the quest.
