I'm a RDM, and while I'd love to be able to use the staff I can't really blame them for not giving it to us. Because: 1) We already get Sword, Dagger and Wand (which is still pretty good for casting) 2) We have no innate staff skill.

Personally I'd much rather have access to the shield instead for those times when I'm not DW'ing.


PS> As a side note I main Dagger while DW'ing and main Sword when going single+shield.
