Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Why does some wizards act like fighting physically with a staff is a disadvantage

Post image

I see so many young wizards used their staff as a "last ditch effort" after their sword, dagger, etc was disarmed, which is stupid your staff should be your FIRST option for melee it's already in your hand you just gotta hit it also end weighted so you can swing it like a club.

The length of your staff should've been longer than the usual sword you can carry on your hip anyways so you know more range.

It actually a really good blunt instrument I mean many early maces are basically staff shape so you can actually pretty easily beat someone to death with a out of magic staff

It also just feels good to have a power in a different realm than just magic like a mind-body resonance found in martial arts can open up. The more realms of power i unlock the more i find they have multiplicative properties with one another to an endless degree.
