  so far I haven't really seen much to her that lends her to that role. Heal is great...but there's no buffing ability that generally is associated with a support class

  
  
  [s]Restoration[/s] Re-something or other is a healing buff. Staffs get massive healing, along with a healing buff, and (from what I've heard) there's going to be a rebalance that makes staffs more effective at alchemy, whose every skill is a supporting skill, at the cost of decreased damage. So that's why people tend to think of her as a support char.
  
  I don't know why people think that, just because staves do less damage, staves do no damage. Staves can hold their own in combat rather well. They just take longer to do battles.

  xD I think you mean Regeneration, Whyrainfalls. That's the SP skill, and it's only useful 1/3rd the time we have it up, lol.
  
  The reason Staffies are considered "Support" types is because they can support classes. It's not with buffs or anything, it's more with firebolts from behind to deal damage, heals if you have to, Blind Arrow to knock down, Magic Arrow to knock down (same with Fire Mines), etc. I don't see why they're support.. I mean, I made mine support for a reason. o_O But they can hold their own, for now. Later on maybe not, but for now we do the same as anyone else.

  i'm pure staff xD
  and i love it.
  I used scythe when i get at lv 24, and scythe is really good sometimes, you do some runs more faster, but other times, staff is better. Scythe have the blink to evade, staff have only the jump, but if you are a staff, u dont need to get close of the mob, just run and spam some magic fire mine, when the mob are down spam firebolt and other things. Scythe have a great dps, but the burst demage of staff is perfect, my blind arrow get down 1 bar of blood prince hp, and i dont know how it works on laghodessa because i only go on hard mode xD. All characters and weapons on vindictus are good on your way, no have a best class or other thing like this, just have the good player and the bad player (sometime the fault if because of the lag xD)

  I think all staves need to be a very good class is a better dodge skill, which is already coming.
  Not to mention the "unique survival mechanism".
  I'd like a shorter cast (cast, not cooldown before someone jumps on me) time for firebolt though. Maybe I'm just a terrible player, but I can never seem to get a firebolt done on Raid bosses before they move.

  I'm no longer a pure build..in the end when u have all your staff skills maxed out your going to have to end up maxing everything when i mean everything I mean scythe skills too. I'm just waiting til they increase the skills for staffs.

  This is a dilemma that every class faces at the moment because Vindictus is only a few months old.

  XD You could just do what I'm doing. <3 Rank all the useless stuff first. :D! Can you tell I really don't want to play scythe? lol.

  It's probably always going to be that way. The game isn't going to update with 30 extra skills at once, there's only a few added per patch. With more boats being added, we'll eventually have more Dailies than we have tokens.

  :P I have, I find most melee to be very boring. If I wanted a melee character, I would have stuck with my Fiona instead. But then again, I do use Scythe for when I'm farming for the normal attack title. I just find myself trying to use magic arrow or firebolt, a lot, when I switch. D: It's definitely not for me.

  I felt the same as you at first TC, i took my Asshley up to 44 without ever using Scythe (well i used it once when i got it) and haven't ranked any scythe skills.
  
  I was complaining that Lann was boring while leveling him recently and a guildie told me to make a Scythe Evie so i did, and Asstra was born :D
  
  Well see how it goes when i get her up to using a scythe, so far i plan on not putting ANY ap into anything that wont benefit her as a scythe user
