ShadowBlades and staffs.

[cleeve]

Hi folks

Don't shoot me This might have been tried and done a 1000 times before for all I know.

A friend recently levelled a 24 sb over here for thid. He went full critblade I think with envenom and stealth.

The wierd thing is he got sick n tired of only seeing resists to his weapon attacks so he decided to give an iron shod staff a try with crit blade styles and poisons applied.

He's about 6 points from thid cap atm and thoroughly loves his staffblade spec sb. Has anyone tried this at 50? I suspect that at high levels not being able to spec staff damages weaponskill so much that it turns into a gimp spec.

Having seen the stealther discussion thread In pry general I thought it might make an interesting idea - sbs allowed to spec in staff could well provide the extra kick that they/we wanted

Any thoughts?

Cheers

only good BG lvl, but at 50, using a staff would suffer HUGE varience.

Stealth openers for CS styles work differently than normal combat styles, so you don't actually need any weaponskill to speak of to have a high cap; of course in order to actually hit the cap (or even anywhere close to it ) you'll need weaponskill; OFC if you're using a buffbot and staff PA a sitting target, you'll probabaly hit for cap anyway, which'll exceed the caps of normal PAs (more useful for infs/NS really, since SBs allready have 2hand weapons to PA with - and they can even spec for them ).
