[Balancing] Staves VS 1-handed+shield at the look of a spellcaster

Systemic issue is systemic.

This is similar to the problem we faced when arguing about dual wielding. At the end of the day, even if staves do something or one thing better (6L) it's not as good as a 1H + shield.

Most of this stuff goes unnoticed but I think it's a big deal. I think staves should have a purpose just like DW should. They need a unique feature that goes good with templars int + str hybrid stuff. One that other weapon combos can't do. I'm not an expert on staves unfortunately as I never cared to bother with them so I can't offer much in terms of suggestions.
my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes

Bug Fixes:
People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it.

Well, at least DW has many more block nodes to reach a good block rate .... staves just don't :(.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Even if it's really expensive,

searing touch can be played with a kaom's heart ( legacy or not, it's great for defence ). like all staves.
