Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

you guys aren't complaining about the core issue and/or are unable to see it. It's not the elemental advantage you need from the weapons, it's the skills themselves that need to be buffed. Why should a class revolve completely around one specific weapon to make their damage comparable? (And, let's face it, even with ewands/staves working how they used to mages would still be behind on the dps chart for similarly equipped physical classes.)
