To Ele Staff 5-8 or not.

Ill inmediatly quit my BaM then because using only Slow staffs SUCKS. Speed its the thing that makes up strong and some good damage because iirc Staff don't have that good of a multiplier (when determining damage range).

This kind of attitude along with AMs demanding Battle Mages or Bishops or anyone not them be disallowed to benefit from these weapons is the worst of all. It all stinks of entitlement and closed-minded thinking. Nerely all staffs are slow so when these anomalies spoil players, people end up thinking that they deserve more than the status quo or at least more than the Korean status quo.

Is saying the previous hypocritical as an individual wanting the bonuses back? It's not. Think about it, not discussing, I maintain my promise to SP.

Explosion actually doesn't deal damage as soon as you press the button, there is a little delay from between the skill animation start and when it does damage. That way jump-casting explosion with a very fast weapon can make you fire it mid-air and hit higher than normally or down-jump-casting and getting it to fire before you hit ground so you are already free to teleport/whatever before you hit the ground and the monsters are already dead.

You can do this by macroing your skills too, tri-layer Skeles Blizzarding was fun to do way back when...

I'd buy a staff only if you can immediately use it, like at 163. There really isn't a point in buying one now since you never know what will happen or if anything will happen; Nexon talk is still Nexon talk until they show a pattern of honesty or competence. You shouldn't have to wait long (I guess) since apparently developers are testing it now. Beg has the most probably outcome of this situation nailed, reinstatement of bonus in its entirety or at a lesser chance slightly less than 100% and nothing more.

Also, what do you have to lose by waiting? I don't foresee the popularity of AMs going up anytime soon. I don't foresee many people making 163 Battle Mages. These two alone make the likelihood of price inflation low. If bonuses are restored, I still don't see their prices going up.
