Could someone tell me what the best elemental weapons are, how much they are, and their stats. I am mostly asking about fire staves and energy staves.

For staves. Go with:

+5 Energy
20% Faster Recharge
20% Faster Casting
+1 (whichever element) OR +20% Longer Enchantments

Wands/Offhands:

Wand:
+5 Energy (While health is over 50%)
20% Faster Casting/Recharge

Offhand:
20% Faster Recharge
20% Faster Casting

With the wand and offhand combo you get 2 more energy then staff and an additional 20% recharge chance. However with staff, you get the +20% longer enchant or +1 to attribute choice. So at that point its up to preferrence.

cheers!

Staves:

20/20 Staff

[Element] Damage 11-22
Energy +10
20% Half Casting of [Element] spells.
20% Half Recharge of [Element] spells.
Energy +5
Enchantments last 20% longer / Health +30

10/10 Global

[Element] Damage 11-22
Energy +10
10% Half Casting of all spellss.
10% Half Recharge of all spells.
Energy +5
Enchantments last 20% longer / Health +30

The price of the staff depends highly on what the skin of the staff is and from what I've seen 10/10 staffs almost always go for considerately more than 20/20 staffs.

Hale of Enchanting is king.

I use a hale forbidden staff of enchanting 10/10, and I use it to wand things. Though Normally I use a fervor/offhand combo.

of course, often times I focus swap to a couple other sets and keep some more sets in my inventory for various purposes, but if I had to pick one staff, It would be Hale of Enchanting. Hale of Fortitude is fine too, I honestly don't see the reason for an extra 5 energy, ESPECIALLY on an elementalist. If I need to get something off, that extra 5 energy won't do crap, but a high energy focus swap is really useful.

Enchanting for an Elementalist is almost a must.

I don't see what you mean about 5 energy being useless.
What are you going to use instead of it? Health +30? Because I can't see an extra 30 health being usefull, well, atleast not as usefull as more energy.

^when being spiked, 30 health can mean the difference between life and death.

Rajazan's Fervor and a 20/20 artifact would be my choice.

I also have a Hale 20/20 staff of Enchanting, don't use it much though.

If I need energy that desperately, I'll swap to a +15/-1 set. +5 energy doesn't cut it for me.

my thoughts exactly.

ZenRgy · Sep 25, 2006, 04:13 AM // 04:13

+5 energy sword of Enchanting
20% HSR +30 HP focus

That works fine if health is such a big deal for you.

that is exactly what I run in slot 1. OP was asking about staves, which I merely pull out to wand vimway.

thanks

I've started using my Hale of Enchanting staff again, it's fun being able to wand stuff again.

Also I bought a 15-1 wand and focus set and I'm not sure when to use it, any ideas?

This is a new thread from what I've seen of it.
It's a small list of some solid Ele weapons, these weapons are paticularly usefull in combination with the new spell Ether Prism, but are fairly good anyway. (Depending on what you're looking for, 15-1, +5, hp+30, +20 enchant.)

this thread cuts through a lot of the ineptitude you have to read through. PLus, the information from elementalists is from a very reliable source.
