I am asking about W/M, not mage.Wouldn't a normal staff be best for most M/X sort of combos? Other than that the only thing I've thing outside of that is that wand is good for Warrior/Mage, but outside of that I'm unsure of what it is really good for outside of that combo to use anything else besides a staff for magic users.

The simple answer to why a wand is better is because in a burn you reach your maximum white hitting speed, a wand at max speed is able to hit nearly twice as fast as a staff at max speed, however the mdmg difference is closer to 3/4 and not 1/2. Meaning the wand will end up doing more damage. It will also do more damage outside of burns on mobs because as you said, you will have a higher fire damage and greater magical attack as part of it.

Why would this be so? Both have their attack speeds reduced by the same %, so if a staff is 1.4 times slower without CD's, it should still only be 1.4 times slower with CD's.

So there's no equivalent of Arcane potion for melee?You also get a second recon rune. As someone who tanks, having dps not die on trash is the best benefit.
Frenzy potion does nto stack with strong stim.

Even though the potions say they are decreasing it to a certain amount, there is a cap at which a 2-h staff can white hit, and a cap to how fast a 1-h wand can white hit. Being that wand is almost 2 times as fast when reaching speed cap (which you do when in a boss burn) compared to a 2-h staff, the only way a staff would keep up or be better is if the damage on it was 2x that of the equal level wand. Hope that makes sense...Why would this be so? Both have their attack speeds reduced by the same %, so if a staff is 1.4 times slower without CD's, it should still only be 1.4 times slower with CD's.

And what is the attack speed cap? Do you need frenzy potion to hit it on wand, or would crit pot be better?
