Role comparison

Single-target ranged damage

Needs a basic-attack window rather than repeated weapon swapping.

Strengths
Sustained pressure
Considerations
Stationary periods can be punished

Maces / Hammers

Group control

Often selected to create a coordinated engagement for allies.

Strengths
Frontline control tools
Considerations
A control weapon does not automatically supply solo damage

Holy / Nature Staffs

Healing

Direct healing and healing over time ask different positioning and timing.

Strengths
Group recovery
Considerations
Support needs a team and activity-specific bar

Arcane Staffs

Support and disruption

The exact staff determines which protective or disruptive E is available.

Strengths
Team utility
Considerations
Not interchangeable with a dedicated healing staff
