Staff Melee can prob go with everything.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
It can go with everything, but it is very very good with super reflexes (so far) - let SR do the heavy lifting to the soft cap, use IO's to get recharge with help from quick reflexes and form of the mind and regeneration.
My vote would be for staff, especially with the aoe spreading the gauntlet around.

I'd have to say Staff. The Endurance discount should be very helpful.
Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be
-- The Fox and the Hound
When I get home I'll write up my build for SR/Staff, if you would like.
From memory, At 50 we're looking at about 62% melee, 65% ranged, and around 59%-60% AoE . 87.5 % recharge. I also took Agility alpha, so those numbers will be higher, slotted at +1 I think I have an extra 3 or 4 percent floating around.
Running Form of the Soul and Physical perfection with two performance shifter procs on top of Stamina, with Focused Accuracy and Tough running, I can't make the blue bar disappear, and I can go up against Talons Of Vengeance with all their debuffs with little difficulty.
I may just really enjoy the combination...
Thanks, everyone! Sounds like Staff it is. I can't wait to try it out!
Now I just have to figure out what to pair with SJ.

I'll vote for Staff too. I've found the Forms to be helpful with my Fire/Staff. Althogh still lower toon, I must say I look forward to leveling this combo.
