Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

For me, I optioned for above average equips then had it equaled off with Elemental Wands of both elements to help in select situations. Are you saying it's now IMPERATIVE for me to buy potential equips for fear of not being able to do anything without them?

That seems ridiculous. NX items are supposed to be temporary. I don't expect my equip stats to be temporary. I don't have the funding or enough lust for NX to make myself do 50% damage with potentail equips. I bought my Elemental Wands for that reason; a compromise. So far this patch has been pretty amazing in terms of putting down mages.

This so much. My damage isn't great at 163 and I've got about 13% int potential and had to spend a ton of money just to get that. A lot of players don't even have that! While it's true that a couple of players would be really broken with these, most of the general population would just get an average attack boost that would help them do little things. My husband's potential-less FP is absolute garbage post big bang (50k paralyze at 150?!). The number of people this would help vs. the number it would "break" is undeniably lesser. The people who it would break already have ridiculous ranges like JellyFlower. I have to imagine he hits 999k at all times anyway so it's not as if this would actually help him.
