    Can devs please look into how staves are held by "mages" ?

    Spell casters should hold a weapon.. like a caster.. casting spells.

    Why does it look like a melee weapon? I assume because it is a bludgeon weapon... as a mage...

    I don't know.. just a suggestion.. I lose wanting to be a mage of any form when the staff is held like a beat stick/melee weapon... hold it like a wizard.. its a caster staff...

    Or.. maybe this changes after the newbie zones? I am holding only a Lesser staff... and it looks hideous and i immediately didnt want to cast anymore.

    edit: I found this ina video (sorry for bad quality...)

    SHE is holding it right... so maybe its jsut the newbie Lesser Staff?

    I am releived that it at least changes later...

    It is only the lesser staff, because it is held in both hands.
    Buy one from NPC Vendor, or better a player made one.

    All Staves are held like that. There are better looking staves out there though(Elven Staves look decent). Staves are less powerful than wands, unfortunately, so most players use wands instead.

    Proper name "Beat Sticks" as that is how they are currently used.

    Nice catch. This is a bug. All staves are supposed to be held with one hand as shown in your 2nd pic. Fixing it now!

    The high wizards that guard the siege engineers twirl their staff/wand like a baton.
