I’m a returning player… Isn’t fire staff better weapon to pair with bow or Musket as it has better mobility? Also, with the upcoming evade nerf, wouldn’t fire staff work better to gain distance?
I don’t see ppl using it, is there a reason?
people will tell you that there’s a BIG NERFS coming to mage class overall and will discourage you from fire staff, also when we’re talking muskets, IMO rapier is better option as it both scales with dex&int and you have melee weapon if you want to spice things up

since they nerf light yes. this will ruin mage even more then dex builds ^^
Not sure how far you have gotten into the game but general rule of thumb is the weapons gotta scale at least off of the same stat or at least 2 Which makes BoW drop out.(as its exclusively DEX)
( Ofc you can go a exotic pairing where one weapon is pure utility and you focus on the other weapons but some simply dont work as they either lack the damage or the utility to be paired with something else.)
As for musket the weapon is in a very bad state. If you dont go a certain build ( 300 dex 150 int) you basically cripple your viable damage ( and if musket got no damage it offers no utility whatsoever) and its just not worth using it as bow is superior then.
Firestaff scales exclusively with INT so what I have seen a certain AOE build is with Blunderbuss making rounds which probably feels nice I guess.

Thrue, especially if you are quite new player, better use some melee weapon, like SnS+Hatcher, SnS+GA, its super OP and will be even more soon. Take middle armor and u are god in arena, low scale pvp. After patch u can pair it also with Great Sword and be even more godly.
If You want bow, then rapier or spear is good option, maybe also great sword after patch.
Fire staff is the worst possible solution to pair with bow, also FS is in bad position now.

This is 100% wrong. Rapier has multiple ways to get haste, has damage immunity and a faster animation for the dash. The rapier nerfs are very small to the point that if you were playing properly it doesn’t change anything. Also, fire staff is not a utility weapon and the easiest ranged weapon to kill.
