What weapons do your casters use?

What weapon combination do you use most of the time when you are playing your favorite caster toon?

[Ju Smurph]

Well, the list time i played was rockmoulder and wayward wand pre rockmoulder nerf... so *shrug*

[GhostBoy]

Currently staffs, because they happen to be the only gold drops I've found. I am trying to get my hands on a green cane+focus combo, but the Favor of the Drops has not been with me lately. I need the extra energy rather badly.

Mezmer - Willcrusher (Staff) , it has got to be one of the most individual skins for mezmer, is domination based and happens to look cool.

Mezmers get a very dissapointing selection in weapons with very few variations in skin that dont cost you a fortune.

All the rest of my characters use a wand/focus

Naru

[El Cerouni]

Wand/focus or A Melee Weapon/Focus.

I voted Wand Focus though.

[Dammerung]

Wand and focus, I am obsess with 20% half cast and 20% half recharge.

My Elementalist uses a Hale collector Fire Staff of Enchanting, the one that looks like a tree branch. Not perfect. But she has no desire or need to change it.

11-22 Fire Damage
Energy +10
20% fast cast fire
20% fast recharge fire
+25 health
+19% enchantment duration

My monk uses a staff for the enchantment bonus, but I find that I don't use that many other enchantments with the other professions, so wand/focus in those cases.

I don't like using swords/axes on my casters, even though that may be best in some situations (farming excluded, FFS...FTW!)

EDIT: To further elaborate:

Monk: Collector's staff, insightful/enchanting
Ele: +5>50 energy wand/+1Attribute, +30HP focus
Necro: Wand/+1 focus
Rit: Defensive/+HP staff for Rit Lord builds, wand/focus for Restoration & Channeling builds.

If you really want to know,

Mostly wand+focus except:

• Galigords stone staff (if earth, ele)
• A shadow staff (if blood, necro)
• Yakslapper (monk, for ff runs)
• Eerie staff (standard communing, Rt)

But I just like the look of wands + foci more.

I voted for staves because it's what I use most, but all my chars have all three things for different purposes. Each one has wand/focus combo with dual +15e for energy emergencies. For staves, all use +5 energy Heads. Some use +1 Att Wrappings (Death, Curse, Fire, Air, Dom), others use 20% Enchant (Blood, Earth), and the others use +30hp (Illusion, Water, Channeling). My Rit only uses a staff for Channeling since for Communing she uses a sword with 20% Enchant and a +1 Comm/+30hp focus (casting/recharge are pointless for Comm), and for Restoration, its wand/focus for dual recharge. The only one that doesn't use a staff is my Monk, who uses only wand/focus or +5e sword/focus combinations.
