Now that we have had the 2nd major update of the current Secrets of the Obscure expansion, we get to play with new weapons on all 9 professions. Warriors gained access to the Staff, which is primarily a support weapon with a lot of healing, crowd control, mobility and boons baked in.

But we can transform this into one of the smoothest (solo) open world weapons the game has on offer for Warriors. Instead of the usual single elite spec build guide, we'll go over 2 builds: a Spellbreaker that will zip across the battlefield and dispatch enemies in a single combo, and a Berserker that can stand toe to toe with any champion or bounty and take care of them with relative ease.

Staff has a few challenges when it comes to the open world, it feels rather sluggish without quickness, and has relatively low damage modifiers. Luckily this can be easily fixed with the use of Jade Bot Protocols. If you don't own End of Dragons, or you simply don't want to bother with those, there are a few changes to the builds that you can make to preserve this smooth playstyle.

A final challenge was generating enough Adrenaline so that we can use out Burst Attack on cooldown. This made the usual traitlines, such as Discipline or Defense, rather useless. While both provide excellent damage, neither help if we want to mainly use staff in the open world. Arms, on the other hand, can guarantee we will always be at maximum adrenaline when it's time to use our burst attack!
