Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

Because no other class gets a passive 1.25x damage boost just for equipping a weapon, it's broken as far as Big Bang goes. Rebalancing my d'ick. If mages are subpar compared to other classes, they should be fixed by ''rebalancing'', not by a weapon that is already pretty good by itself AND a 1.25x damage boost.

There are far worse things in this game. Just look at the potential system. You can make any item above level 50 have a passive 30%+ bonus against bosses. Compared to the rare NX only (with the exceptions of Ele Staves 1-4), the Elemental wand bonus is nothing.

Besides, we paid for these damage bonuses. It is simply robbery and false advertisement to just remove them now.
And if you want to balance the game, why not add in new weapons for other classes that give similar bonuses? At least that is a far better option than completely removing the bonuses we paid for with no just compensation.
