I still think that these bonuses should not be re-implemented in any form. Dusk's DPS chart shows that Arch Mages are pretty close to warriors in terms of damage. This is without EWand bonuses nor the impressive boosts they got from the Chaos patch. If KMS decides to boost Arch Mages even more down the line, these weapons could easily become even more broken. However, Battle Mages gain quite a large boost from using EStaves so Nexon should simply make them Slow(8) like the majority of Staves.
[spoiler=Not This Shi't Again]I don't feel any pity for Arch Mages who feel like they're losing money. Aside from the one or two people who spent hundreds of dollars trying to Gach the weapons, the price was still less than what Bishops paid for them. We were told that the weapons were working as intended for a good year before they were nerfed. You might say that Bishops should have known better but not everyone reads forums or follows future updates. I had a few Bishop friends who had no idea that these weapons were from JMS. Anyways, the difference is that Bishops not only spent more for the EWands, they were also forced to resell at a lower price since the weapon was now unusable. At least Arch Mages still have a suitable end game weapon after the nerfs. Aside from the diminishing supply of VIP Weapons, EWands and EStaves are the best end game weapon for Arch Mages. So technically they aren't losing anything at all, aside from a bonus that they no longer need.[/spoiler]
