Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

i was quite disappointed to find i would not be able to increase the lightning attack powers of my new i/l mage through the great magical powers of an elemental staff or wand. the balance excuse is quite convincing though, to them at least.

Mages have not become broken, let's face it, talking about comparing end game weapons makes it too simple.

of course they are not "broken", they are still a fully functional class, but this weapon nerf comes without reason and i'm sure it is not likely to be fixed. it really does hold mages back from keeping up with other classes damage wise though (even with the bonus in place i'm sure they'd still be blown away by other classes).

oh well.
