Ratings
A good build for staff lovers. I love all the AoE it has, though it takes a bit of practice to place them correctly and it can be a bit frustrating vs. enemies that move a lot. As the build mentions, it doesn't have the greatest damage and you should swap to another build if you want to tackle harder content. But it works great for casual open world and story content.
