Staves question

i see a lot of sorc guides saying to make leaf in a short staff instead of a long staff, but i can’t find a single one that says why. can someone explain? i always make it whatever staff has the best effects on it that i can find.

/* Because you want to wear a shield (Ancient’s Pledge early, Spirit later). */

i don’t understand. you can’t wear a shield with a short staff can you? i thought staves were ALL two-hand.

this makes no sense. you can’t use a shield with a staff of ANY kind, so why would a future shield you might use have anything to do with what staff you put a runeword in?

Sorry. i mixed that up with orbs. My bad. :flushed:
Short staves are faster, but i don’t know if that also affects FCR ? :thinking:

not unless it has it in blue text on the staff itself, so i don’t think it’s a mod that can appear on a white base item.

It doesn’t affect FCR but a short staff swings faster. So if you are out/low on mana you can still get some fast melee hits in.
