Basicly you slot your 'buff power' heavy on accuracy, while the rest can go with more damage.
Problem being that while with Follow Up type powers you can just slap extra accuracy in it and be alright, that won't work for Staff because you'd need extra accuracy in all of your powers, since you have to build Perfection before you can even use the power and get the +ToHit.

It's a poor design decision to tie the ToHit buff, not only to an attack, but to an attack you have to be able to RELIABLY hit your target with MULTIPLE OTHER ATTACKS beforehand to get the bonus from.
