Dont get me wrong .I think your a good guy and I personal like you.
However your wrong on this issue.
Is staff gimped. Sure it is. Don't like it be something else. You got options. Its what everyone else does.
Look 11 years into the game. They may add a quest item or two some of those items may be cool but staff is always going to be gimped.
Really you expect them to make spend time on staff when their may be one or two pure staffers in the entire game ?

Cache-22. You expect there to be more than a few pure staffers in the game when they don't spend any time on staff?
In any case, pure staffers aren't the only ones hurting--just about every Gharu template is gimped compared to a race that can get spec Lore for free. My Gharu mage would be 6 credits in the hole compared to newly rolled characters. Heck, my Gharu staffer has 2 less credits than the same Undead staffer would. And even if, as you say, there's not enough pure staffers, there's certainly enough Gharu mages and bowyers and swordsmen in the game to justify some love to it as a secondary skill.

On a separate note, anyone have some screenshots of the new zombies? I can't find pictures of them posted anywhere.

You new what the skills were going in.
As far as new races having powerful weapons like race. You got a point however turbine addressed that and gave us sister racial skill this last patch.

That's not true. That's the opposite of what is true. Unless that's a typo and you meant to say "  ou didn't know what the skills would be going in."

The sister racial skills do not address the point at all. In fact, they make Gharus staffers even less likely to be viable. http://vnboards.ign.com/harvestgain/b5154/113786575/p1/?0

Don't play. Theirs really nothing anyone can do about balance except the dev. You got 10 chars slot make a new char if you don't want to do that don't play. What else can anyone tell you.
Your happiness is not up to anyone but you. Either play the game or don't stop bitching about it.

There's no need to get nasty. I already "don't play."
The quality of this discussion has degraded (not that it was very good to begin with) so I'm probably not going to bother responding anymore except to say "thank you" to anyone who can post a picture of the new zombies.

That's a typical response an internet know it all like Go Go uses when they are verbally losing. Get mean or get personal. You should feel proud that you received that type of response from him.

making bow/xbow a racial weapon would be a bit too much for me. Theyre huge damage outputs and its a bit late in the game to be messing up templates that people have been working on for years now to truly have as "the best" build
