Believe you and me, it's been suggested. A lot.
I would prefer a pole-arm, with animations that would make sense for a staff, scythe, spear, etc. That way you could cover all your stick-fu in one fell swoop.
This has been suggested a lot. However, I was thrown off by the Powerpool thing so I had a gander.
Did you mean Staff as a Primary/Secondary set or as a Power Pool (four powers in total)?
I'm not sure, especially with things like weapon redraw to consider, that a Staff set would work all that well as a Power Pool.
However, I'd like to suggest that some kind of Staff (and no, not the Nemesis Staff or Blackwand :P) be given out as a temporary power reward for something. Could be a PBAoE clicky doing damage in a full circle? Smashing, moderate damage, limited use?
Make it craftable and it might be fun but I think, until a full Primary/Secondary set is ever considered, I don't think we'll be seeing one anytime soon.
No, I actually meant it as a power set tehehehe :P
Though it would be cool if it was a powerpool too. Would be nice to see it combined with let's say Martial Arts, so you can choose when to use the staff and when not to.
Hello there, not sure if this should go here or if somebody already has suggested this. I guess it will be moved if somebody has already proposed it or something. Either way, I was thinking...wouldn't it be awesome if Melee type characters got a Bo Staff power set? It would be mostly focused on PBAoE and Cones, and a (very)few single target ones (sort of like Dual Blades, I believe it has a lot of PBAoE if I'm not wrong). I really think that a power set like this would attract a lot of people, I mean the Bo Staff is just epic in my opinion. If it is AoE oriented it could be a great addition for Tanks because it would allow great crowd control, but I'd love to see scrappers have it. Anyways, I look forward to see what people think and maybe (hopefully, please please please...pretty please) the Devs will look at it, like this idea and bring it to life!
