Or maybe, Guildwiki is wrong, and if you talk to those crafters you find that, indeed, those wands are Restoration req and it's reported incorrectly.

It being a mistake is not nearly as fun as thinking that this was a deliberate attempt to screw your character by Arena.net though, right?

Checking the Crafters at Vasburg Armory/Leviatian Pits (the crafters of 20/20 equipment), there's a 20/20 Restoration Focus, but not a 20/20 Restoration Wand. That's incredibly odd.

I got home, logged into the game and checked.

Yes, the wand is called a Restoration Focus. The Guildwiki Entry is right....and wrong. -.- The two entries for the weaponsmith in nightfall for Shausha:

http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Weapons...28Nightfall%29 and http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Shausha

The two entries had conflicting information on the requirement for the wand.

I have corrected it, she does craft a Restoration requirement inscribable wand. \o/

Im so happy to be wrong. It means im not going completely crazy X_X. I will edit my OP.

BOTH items are still called restoration focus however...

see?

---------------

Ok so in Nightfall....you have options as a Restoration rit for wands. Thats nice. Thats good. Good for Nightfall...
But....Why is the only restoration wand in Factions the end game wand? Why isnt there any collectable or craftable restoration wands when the Focii exist.

LOL dual wielding. If only I could get my Victo's Hammers to do that.

I'm still confused at why Anet made +15%dmg^Ench wands for certain collectors in NF in place of other more useful mods :s

People are actually gonna wand people to death with this uber increase in DPS? O.o

Wanding targets has its uses....

...Just not many...

...Especially for a Ritualist...

How about assassins? As an assassin you are restricted to dagger mastery. I have a critical strikes build and am currently working on a deadly arts assassin. Are there any weapons at all for creating one of these builds? Nope! So far my deadly arts assassin runs around with no req. junk to fight with and supplement my energy. It would be nice if all attributes for all the classes had a choice of weapons.

How about some shurikens (throwing stars) for critical hits.
Or some blow guns for Deadly arts.
Not to mention 3 sectional staffs, nunchakus, batons, and many other weapons commonly associated with assassins.

Wanding is actually very underrated. Its free DPS anyone can do between casting.

You're only half right.... Anyone can wand, yes, but you'll still only hit for 2-3 damage if you don't meet the requirement for the wand, so not truly free DPS. But generally as a caster, I will have better things to do than be wanding things.

Pre-nightfall, monk and rits could only get weapons for their defense attributes with a req in the primaries, spawning and divine favour.

Since then some stuff has been added, like the 20/20 divine, divine req staff outside port sledge was switched for a 20/20 healing one in some update, but not everything is all up to date and consistent yet ^_^

The restoration focus one is just bad naming, they really should change that.

Is it still odd when you consider that Restoration was grouped with Energy Storage, Fast Casting, Inspiration Magic, Soul Reaping, Healing Prayers, and Protection Prayers as an attribute that recieved focuses, but not wands or staves pre-Nightfall?

Swords have swordsmanship req not tactics or strength. Scythes have scythe req's, not mysticism. It makes sense that in order to do damage with a melee weapon you need to have proficiency in that weapon type. Casters are different because the damage is magical based on the atribute requirement. Fire damage as a fire req, dark damage has a death req, etc. As such, it makes sense for there to be different options for casters.

As for additional primary weapon types for the sins, it would be nice if there was more of a variety like the warrior has, but alas assassins only get daggers and Dervishes only get scythes and I don't think it will ever change. At lease the Ranger gets different types of bows...

Srsly...I would love throwing stars for my Sin....whom I deleted...cuz I hated the limited choices in character gen and got sick of looking at her wacked out hair. Ninja stars would make me consider resurrecting her. That, and snazzy kimonoesque armor. Geisha Sin FTW

On topic: I've noticed the same wackiness with Rit equipment myself. It's part of the reason mine is still dancing naked on noob island. I want to get her some sweet equipments...but...haven't seen a whole lot I like. However, I'm content to see what GWEN brings. In the meantime I'll just pursue my goal of getting her to lvl20 off nothing but Dragon Arena kills, lol
