magic device as sub weapon for staff?

[OwlOwl900]

I've been playing for around 10 hours and just noticed that it says I won'y get the magic sub weapon bonus if I'm using it a staff.

It's confusing me since it's the only sub weapon I can use for my staff and I may be dumb terribly sorry

beside it, you can use shield, dagger, or knuckle as sub weap for staff.

Ah, which would would be the best choice for solo?

MD as sub is good if you learned the magic warrior skill tree. Especially the resonance skill.

Shield is better if you want more survivability. You'll have access to most of Knight, Priest, and Shield skills.

Magic Device is good to boost your damage. You need a [Book of Magic Warrior] skill book to learn the skills, which costs way more spina compared to the library.

as skill points are too precious to waste, it is recommended to do your own research to fit your play style. How you want to play. Cant say which one is better.

If you want to solo... you probably want to take shield as it gives survivability and utility to break monster parts.

Solo to farm small mobs is okay but not for solo bosses. And those two have different build and equipment. Which one do u want to make?

Why it is not recommended to solo bosses? higher difficulty boss usually kill your mercenary sooner or later. And they moving a lot, quick action time, wide aoe and hit like a truck. You will have a big problem if you are a finale user. You can, but it will be very a hard fight and looong battle.

Most people use mage ninja to farm small mobs, you use ninja scroll as subs, which is expensive. Or the cheaper version,, use Md sub or Main MD to learn Blizzard + Storm combo.

There are a lot of build for DPS mages and Support mages, take your time.

yup but its not something bad cuz u already get staff bonus for example storm skill have better multi on staff mean it does better dmg while md bonus is range when u eq md as sub for staff u will get dmg not range but if other weapons like one handed sword or knuc etc when u use md as sub for u will get range bonus

Magic device is the best weap for farming i think. Of course you can use md on sub weap

MD has three uses for Staff:
1. Resonance from the Magic Blade skill tree. Your MD's refinement level affects the strength of the buff it gives.
2. Nemesis from the Priest skill tree. Dual Element with your MD's element (Light + your MD's element.)
3. Fashion.

I reread the description of Nemesis again, Nemesis cannot dual element, Dual element only affect exorcism and Holy book when Nemesis skill is active [Page 3 of skill description] .

Have you tested this on non dark element monster? Do I read it wrong or the skill description misleading us (again)?
