Yeah, I've seen the other threads about ele weapon, but still haven't got the answer I was looking for.
As I was using Mindbender for long, it started to be annoying and I wanted a replacement for fast cast. I then started looking for 20/20 wand & focus threads, but I realy, really hate the wand skins.
So...I thought, maybe an sword + focus 10/20? Does it have big difference compare to wand?

If you use other mods, ping the build you are using. :P

tormented wands are nice imo (OR, if you can afford it, got for the cute little froggie wand

)

stick to the question lena.

I understand that u want to use a 20/20 wand+ 20/20 focus =40/40 set. But its too ugly uh huh?

If u want to use a sword + 20/20 focus thats fine, but remember its only half as good as the 40/40 set and u wont be as effective as u would with the 40/40 set.

What u can do, that most people in pvp practise.
Is to use a Defensive set, like a shield with +30hp, and +10 armor vs slashing, blunt and so on. Always run around with this (while not casting)
and when ur about to cast u spells, just quick swap over to the 40/40 set- and then back to def set. It can take a while to learn and remember to swap around all the time, but til the end its worth it.

~btw, u want to use the 40/40set to cast / recharge ur spells faster -> which means u will be more effective.
~And use your defensive set to take less damage from spikes and pressure.

When i play monk, i use for example.
Set 1 (Negative set) Spear-(+15%dmg -5 energy, +5 arm) and Shield-(+30hp +10 arm vs Slashing.)
Set 2 (blunt, 20% ench) Spear-(+5nrj, +20%ench) and Shield-(+30hp +10 arm vs Blunt)
Set 3 (20/40 staff) prot staff 20/40 +20% ench.
Set 4 (high set) Wand +15 nrj -1 regen, and Focus +15nrj -1reg.

There are people that are really into weapon sets and use alot more sets than this, but i dont bother.

Hope i could help gl

Pesi I think ill try find a wand I like...Little problem is that I need to get 3 wands and 3 focus for each element. :|

Yeah without a true 40/40 set, you'll lose a lot of effectiveness when casting. Just search wiki for some weapon skins. If you got the BMP, the tengu set is pretty nice imo.

Get a shiny defensive set with which you can run around with and get a 40/40 set. As a caster you really want to have a 40/40 set.

If you don't like wand skins and wand the double HCT, and don't care that you can't have double HSR just go for a staff wih a skin you like.

I don't mean to repeat crap again but this has nothing to do w/ the post. WTF?

I dont know if you primarily pve or pvp, but for pve at least as long as you have 20/20 and +enchantment% or something like that, it's all good...
