Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Staves compared to wands are terrible.

@Zherot
[quote=Zherot][quote=Inxample]Just joined the forums so that i could add my comments as well. I went 2h and staves with high int for a skull bashing battlemage but something i noticed that has changed since alpha is that staves magic dmg type no longer applies status as it used to where it seems wands still do.
ex. You have a poison wand and attack a mob whos magic armor is down. you will apply poison.
in the same scenario with a staff be it melee or the staff of magus attack i do not see it applying poison.

Has anyone else noticed this? [/quote]

I don't know about that i tell you later since i do have a poison staff and i will test this but i can tell you that i was healing undeads when using it, will come back after i test this when i play. [/quote]

Yes, they still do the magic damage type, but do not tack on a status effect (poisoned, on fire, wet, etc). Which if truely the case means i'm rerolling :(
