Staff question - Guild Wars Forums

Hailey Anne · Mar 10, 2009, 05:45 PM // 17:45

Just curious what the most desired staff is.(Besides bds cause its actually pretty ugly).

Edit: For those who can't seem to understand a very simple question.
What do YOU think is the best looking staff or just the most popular one.
What do you see people trying to buy or sell all of the time.
I'm asking because im trying to figure out what staff I want to buy. I have cash that I just dont have anything to do with but buy weapons. I already have 2-3 elite armors across all 10 chars so now need good looking weps to go with them. Starting with my Monk. which is why I want to know about staffs first.

Siirius Black · Mar 10, 2009, 06:08 PM // 18:08

usually is the more rare, so you can show your e-pen.... (<- Did I spell that right?)

I would guess the Bone Staff for Ele Fire

MagmaRed · Mar 10, 2009, 08:17 PM // 20:17

I'm not sure what it is you're asking. Do you want to know what the most expensive, hard to get staff is, or what most people think looks the best? Why are you asking? Is this something you want to farm and sell, something you want to use, or something you're just curious about?

If you say BDS is ugly, so name something else, I assume you want to use it. If so, are you looking for a way to display your e-peen but still look good? What do you want to know, and why? The answers will make it easier for someone to respond. And does the requirement attribute matter? Some staffs only come in certain attributes, so if you want an Embercrest Staff for Fire Magic, you'll be out of luck, as they only come in Energy Storage (for Elementalist).

I smell a troll.

Lord Of Blame · Mar 10, 2009, 09:19 PM // 21:19

The most desired staff will be different for almost everyone depending on their personal preferance. I like the Chrysocola Staff.

I think it'd be easier to just look them up on the wiki... http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Staff

I like the Dead Staff, Bone Staff, Inscribed Staff, and Hypnotic Staff though.

skin is so subjective. gl

Haxor · Mar 10, 2009, 10:31 PM // 22:31

The tormented staff has my preference, at this time.

Arduin · Mar 10, 2009, 11:38 PM // 23:38

I think the issue is why do YOU need US to pick you a staff?

It's in the same category as 'What's the nicest looking armor?', 'What sword looks nice with my black obby armor?'

And, as this is not in Riverside, you are looking for an answer, not for an opinion. So the best answer for your question is, take a look at all the images on wiki, because we don't know what skin you like best.

take_me · Mar 10, 2009, 11:42 PM // 23:42

General answer: Non-inscribable, rare Canthan Staves with an inherent and matching "HCT Attribute 20%" and a low req.

LOL - ok, I try to start shit with you..... amusing. Perhaps you could read my post again. I did not understand what you were asking, or why you were asking it. The answer would vary based on those things. Perhaps you should stop thinking I dislike you because I disagree with you on things.

snaek · Mar 11, 2009, 02:31 AM // 02:31

if you want my opinion, buying a staff just because lots of other people like it is a bad reason to buy a staff.

edit: unless you plan to resell it.

Hanging Man · Mar 11, 2009, 02:40 AM // 02:40

bone dragon, zodiac, and celestial staffs are very popular.
and can get quite expensive

personally I'd go with a zodiac staff
i love the animation

You may not be intentionally doing it but the way you come off in ALL your posts towards a lot of people is as a major asshole or bitch which ever you may be. I could care less if you disagree with me or dislike me but the way you post is just not called for.

I'm not wanting to buy a staff because other people like it, I'm wanting to see what people like so I can look them up and see what I like.

As far as I concern many people are just too arrogant to even try to give a sutable answer here, because this is just the 100th thread about who likes what and what should I get. Get an own opinion and stop caring what other people think and just pick what you like. So you should be happy he tries to give you a good answer and not go troll at him..

And to stay on the topic,
Bo, Astral, Cobalt, Fuchsia and Ghostly are my best calls.

Now I can answer, since I know what you are asking and why you are asking it. This means I don't need to list things simply because they are extremely rare and worth a ton of money, but things I like the look of.

Bo Staff
Divine Staff
Dragon Staff
Dragon Spire Staff
Dolyak Prod Staff
Raven Staff (yep, I actually like these)

Those come in various attributes, but some will be extremely hard to find. Some are very common. And some, although I like, wouldn't use on certain characters I have. For example, although I like the Raven Staff, I wouldn't use it on my Elem, but I would use it on my Rit.

I have my own opinion, I was simply seeing what others like so I could look them up and see what I like. I didnt see the staff gallery that the person earlier posted from wiki, if I had I would'nt have posted this at all. Half the time I try not to post on here anyway because the quality of people on guru is pure shit(aside from a few people), If I wanted to be around assholes/bitches I would go to my sisters house I don't care to be around it on a GAME site. People seem to forget thats what this is. A GAME so relax and have fun.
As far as Magma giving me a good answer...he wasnt giving me an answer at all, was giving me 20 questions that really didnt need as this was a very straight foward question. He is like that in just about every single post that he makes with almost everyone. So again enough with the troll talk the only ones sounding like a troll is people calling me one for asking a simple question.

OT Thanks again for the real responses. I have the link from wiki now thanks to coil.

So please close this thread mods as I have no need for anymore since I can look at the gallery now.

Stop The Storm · Mar 11, 2009, 04:07 PM // 16:07
