Improves wielding magic staves by increasing the chance to hit, as well as Attack Speed. Grants the ability to use higher-level weapons successfully. Since the Ice&Blood add-on, choosing this skill unlocks the ability to use staves as ranged weapons.

  • Attack Value +X
  • Attack Speed +Y%
  • Item level without penalty Z


The Attack Value bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

  • 400*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
  • 600*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The Attack Speed bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:

  • 80*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
  • 120*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery

The bold marked numbers are the smallest upper bounds of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.

As an example, attack value at x=75: 75 is the first mastery level, so we take the mastery formula and we have

600*(75-32.5)/(75+66) = 600*42.5/141 = 180.85

This value compared with the table value below is a good example of the precision the formulas offer.

Mastery

  • Grants the chance to land double hits.


Properties

  • This skill will unlock weapon attributes that require Magic Staffs skill (like "Attack speed (Magic Staffs)).
  • "Item Level Without Penalty" reduces the speed penalties for equipping high-level weapons, it doesn't allow equipping weapons above certain threshold (which depends on character level)
  • The projectiles of staves are comparable in speed, flight path and range to those of Energy Weapons. (see Ranged Weapons for more info and comparison)


Breakpoints

  • Item level without penalty is increased by one for every two skill points spent, starting at character level value. It is capped at 250.
