So all in all, should I go with a wand, a staff, or some melee weapon?

Maybe I'm reading the wiki wrong, but I was under the impression that you could do all that on a spear (+5e no condition; +30 or 20% ench).

I was just thinking that if you had a spear and attacked by accident, at least you wouldn't run into the middle of a fight vs. a similar mistake with a sword/axe.

Allthough i agree, that it isnt your job to damag, at the moment that you don't do anything you could help a reversal of fortune dissipate, and therefor a much higher damage attack from a partymember/ally might land. Whether you should wand/spear can be influenced by hexes or other types of enchants.

Typically i would go for spear nowadays

I did say you can do all of that on a spear, but your job isnt to stand there a wand spam/ throw spears, of course you know that 2 dmg you do is gonna make a HUGE difference

anyways why would u even be targeting enemies?

Start off with a staff !

If you're doing PvE
Staff is more than enough

If you're doing PvP
Start with a Staff and when you feel more confident with your energy etc, take a look at this thread in order to learn how to gain advantages in PvP.

Heh. Seems I misread your post. My apologies.

But if you're in PVE and playing solo you have to target all the time. Or if the group you're playing with asks you to target or either isn't doing it or doesn't know how, then you might start calling targets so the heroes will at least focus fire.
