You're missing my point and that is that mages do not make good melee.

You're missing the point that it isn't about being good melee. The staff has utility, regardless of your melee capability. It's also really easy to get among empyrean weapons.

Melee aren't suddenly asked to cast spells to access their tools, PLD shields don't require support spells to activate

err what? ninjas cast spells, DRKs might cast certain spells, PLDs definitely cast spells. And actually PLD shields do require spells to activate *more*.

It's fine that you don't like the staff, but it is there for the people who do like it and have a use for it. If you're able to leverage it, Myrkr is a great tool to have, not just for the MP restore but for the status cure too.
