i can't really find why i would want to use a stave or a crossbow. dual wands and so much better, 2 passives, 2 different elements and so on. staves only can attack from range 1 time per turn, and i don't really want to get close to people as a pure mage
crossbows cost 3 ap to use, and that also counts towards abilities and special arrows, they deal more damage, but i would rather attack twice than have the little extra damage
i hope in the full release the balancing of the weapons are a little better, i feel as tho i have to use certain weapons or im going to gimp myself
