Emberstone.2904 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'm kind of wondering what the justification is for the Staff 1 skill having such a slow projectile speed. It feels really clunky to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunen.8729 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Would love it to have a 25% speed buff or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DraconusShade.4590 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Wouldn't staff be exceptionally good at melting away mobs with the amount of conditions it applies with a faster projectile speed? Faster speed equals faster bouncing and more number of bounces in a given period of time. I would like a faster AA though, absolutely adore the staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wouldn't necessarily mean more bounces overall. It'd be the same number of casts, but the total amount of bounces and conditions would stay the same.

And it wouldn't necessarily mean more bounces overall. It'd be the same number of casts, but the total amount of bounces and conditions would stay the same. Exactly. It actually says on Winds of Chaos's tooltip "Bounces: 2." So that's already hardcoded. A faster projectile speed would merely make it feel less clunky. I can't imagine it having much of a PvP impact either as Winds by itself isn't particularly impactful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By a single Mesmer, no... have a group of Mirage's cast the spell with an improved projectile speed and then you have a problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicTurtle.8571 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A group of Mirages just using staff is just asking for projectile reflects. Not to mention you'll rarely get matched with a group of mirages and if you're talking about WvW, nothing balancewise that isn't massive screen destroying aoe's matters. Plus that logic can be applied to any skill. Much less a fairly underwhelming auto attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
