I AGREE.. Thats why most player here wanted cane than staff.. i think staff needs improvement.. Thats why MAGES here in this SERVER are so WEAK!
Oh, I disagree. How can you say mages are weak?
15 sec sleep, 10 sec stun. A lot of advantage + high damage, and mages are good MP gainer. Mages are not weak in this server.
On topic:
Yes Staff should be higher than cane alone because it is a damager weapon. While cane+shield is for tanker/defense type mage.
So the right thing should be, Staff = High damage low def. Cane+shield = High Def Normal damage.
