Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

Has anyone ever considered that KMS didn't consider Ewands NOT because they didn't have them, but because they AREN'T something that Arch Mages needed?

Yes they exist, yes they make you stronger, but they aren't what make an Arch Mage.

If elemental wands were never created, what we would have is exactly what KMS (and GMS) currently have. Maple has been spoiled by these weapons as something they want, just to justify "we cannot train without them".

coulda fooled me. They look like mage gear, they have colors for the kind of magic you use, and they add a nice boost, assuming the mob is elemental neutral or weak. I was fooled into thinking this really completed and complemented my build!
