Smile Staff Mastery (SM)

Hello,

I was searching for some Staff Mastery (SM) videos on YouTube and found only very few :P

From the ice age of CoR:-

Another one:- (couple more on this channel, but they show Warju Style)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mklc7MFpJY

Comparitively new :-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzDzWHYK_-0

So, I was wondering maybe its time for SM to be brought back to its original self, so that there are more warlocks who try it out and maybe play in this mode.

Right now, it seems you need jewels to do some good dmg in war (with auras and ally buffs)

What do you guys think?

P.S
Something out of the blue to discuss on

to its original self? I know it used to be +50 on each buff. This was back when the level cap was 50. now that was OP!!!

Yes, +50 for each buff and the dmg bonus passive (Combat Magic) was 30% instead of 15% (now). It was OP back then, but now since the lvl cap has changed, new armours with more AP have come, I don't think it would be that OP as it was before.

Very few play SM nowadays, maybe changing it back to the old self will help in increasing the number of SM users

You can always come to syrtis, farming wmc and grinding is a pain in the ass for a non-xim user like me :P

30% combat magic? i really don't remember this. wow.. that's insane. we'd be critting around 750 lol. no wonder they nerfed it.

the issue with reverting sm to its former self is that NGD do not want this. they do not dare support the sm mage, or the warju if you'd prefer. they will not encourage this particular practice because it does not conform with their idea of the "warlock" or "conjurer".

while i will wholeheartedly support the reintroduction of old sm (obviously ), it will not happen. besides.. we'd be essentially taking the role of the archer and suppressing the generel idea that mages should be of a supporting figure in an RvR situation.

Then why would they put a Staff Mastery tree if they didn't want people to try it and play that style :P

I always thought SM was only there for mage grind. Otherwise it would take forever.

I don't see point for this to be honest. if you don't have good items for sm you can simply go for spell setup, rvr spam setup and if you have good items for sm you are very powerful with good setup and position. Main drawbacks of sm is you sacrifice your ccs to take sm spells and, if you're warlock, your defense is low which will cause problems that archers do not encounter as often as sm lock would.
