Im curious to why you say wand and shield, is it purely for extra enchant slots or its for resist or is there a specific shield you like? or all...

mmm yeh, i think prob say DC wand + dc sheild are much the same dmg as most staffs say but advantage of staff is only 1 carus item. was just thinking for pve which my temp is (farmer) staff gonna be better cause less effort on it i guess and most people use wand so they can use resist shield. Reason i was curious cause Leash was so quick to say wand and shield but with no comments like he wouldnt even consider staff.

thats unlogical to me, if youre wearing a staff you clearly have to be a radiant.

In general staves have SCAD and wand/shield have Crit% .

IMO, in PvE Crit% is more useful than SCAD, so wand/shield wins on that.
Also the block defence of a shield is pretty useful. And so are the extra enchant slots on the shield for more DEF.

However when it comes to carus, having just the one weapon is much cheaper, so maybe Ruan's Competance or Root of Hell Tree staffs would be good choices as they have Crit%.
Additionally, mana-hungry classes such as defilers might have more use for the MND of a staff than the INT of wand/shield.

A few people seem to be using knuckles recently. They have generally have MND, HP and SCAD. A good choice for PvP perhaps, but not so much for PvE.

My 2p.

I do not know what to choose.Moon wand + guardian shield or smallower.

Smallower have more dmg but moon + shield have more int.

Intelligence is responsible for more damage right?

Yes, INT is for DMG.

A Defi and Domi look good with a staff


Also cheaper :waddle:

Also has lower dmg. You're not gonna hit for the highest number all the time. Kind of averages out to the same DPS as a wand.

from own experience i'd say staff, but i guess it depends on how you play temp. for pd shield is quite nice cuz of block rate, but if you have a good staff you dont need block rate cuz mobs die before they get to hit you :waddle:

if your AOEs dont kill mobs before Sleep runs out, you are doing something wrong.
more defense is better for when you pull mobs and they hit you, when Sleep misses and you are in survival mode, and also noone really pulls only 6 mobs, and the extra mobs that arent put to sleep keep hitting you.
