as of right now, no. even my fully upgraded shamshir+2 is less good than the elemental staves. but i'm also not about to do a dozen + staff trials to cover every elements acc affinity and dmg affinity.
what i was reffering to was FUTURE sword trials, i'm really hoping that i can get a shamshir to at least surpass the elemental staves. (because as i said, not doing 2 magian staffs for every element) will make life so much simpler.
i'm also, personally, much more concerned with m acc than m att. so in that respect, the shamshir+2 is already getting close to nq staves
