I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for my Staff/SR build. I'm pretty happy with it overall. Very survivable, but I'd like to try to squeeze some more damage out of it. Anyone willing to take a look and let me know what I can tweak, add, remove, etc?

Staff is one of the worst scrapper primaries in terms of damage, so not much you can do about that. Don't skip Serpent's Reach. It's one of the highest DPA attacks in the set. Recommend that you only use Eye of the Storm and Sky Splitter with 3 levels of Perfection. Instead of Energy Mastery, take one of the epics with a snipe (Ice, Mu or Soul).

  • In Eye of the Storm, drop the Forced Feedback rech/end for the Eradication dmg.
  • Practiced Brawler only needs 1 rech IO.
  • Innocuous Strikes is a poor place to slot the Critical Strikes proc. It's got 1.7s of animation time after effect, which eats into the 3.25s duration of the buff. Best places to slot it are are Precise Strike or Serpent's Reach.
  • In Tough, you want the Steadfast res/def unique, not the res/end.
  • Skip Elude. Your defense should already be soft capped without it, so all it provides is movement and recovery buffs.
  • Unless you actually intend to use it, I wouldn't bother slotting Spirit Ward.
  • Drop the Power Transfer dmg/end from Stamina. It's not doing much for you.
