The DPS on the emp staff is only 4% less than the DPS on the emp GK. SAM gets better WS, better gear, and better stats, but SMN gets an avatar. SAM does more overall damage. SMN can buff and has much better survivability.

If you want numbers, go grab a magian trial staff and fight alongside your pet. Notice how each hit is more damage than the entire evening of "not meleeing." There are several of us who have killed thousands of mobs for our trials this way. Our weapons and gear are strong. We melee not because we want to, but because we can.

Your turn. What type of player are you trying to attract to this BP/retreat method?
