Modding an Envoy staff - Guild Wars Forums

GODh · Jun 19, 2011, 12:15 PM // 12:15

I dont have an Envoy staff (yet), but i noticed it comes with a mod (swift staff head, although it isnt mentioned in the weapon description).
I wonder if anyone knows if this mod can be replaced by another mod (like an insightful staff head)?

As envoy weps comes as an gold, they are fully moddable.

Most staves come with an inherent mod of HSR of all spells (20% chance). This is replaced on the Envoy staff by the HCT of all spells (10% chance). You can still add a staff head and a wrapping as usual.

Ah ty, i thought it was a fixed staffhead, but you are correct: it replaces the 20% HSR (i missed that)

Are the Envoy Staves like this intentionally or are they inferior due to a bug?

It's not a bug, it is intentional. Whether it is inferior is debatable. If you are not a mesmer, being able to improve your casting time would be a boon, especially since you can still add the Swift Staff Head and improve your chances even more.
