Apr 25, 2013 Can also get attributes like Int as well, currently using a wand with +2 Int. Original Sin, Divinity Original Sin 2, and other Larian Games. R/DivinityOriginalSin: Subreddit for discussions about Divinity: Original Sin, Divinity Original Sin 2, and other Larian Games. I assume to play the build idea optimally you gotta get 2 same element wands, then max both huntsman and the corresponding element (hydro, pyro, etc.).

Hey all,
I'm just getting ready to start a new game with a buddy of mine in Enhanced Edition, and want to build a mage. My problem is I can't decide which weapon to use.
As I'm hoping to be spending most of my turns casting spells, the main purpose of either weapon for me will be for ground effects (burning oil, electrifying water, etc.). The way I currently see it, using a staff I can only manipulate the environment through Staff of Magus once per turn, whereas wands I can target different areas as long as my AP allows. Wands also have the benefit of 2 elements (a different element in each hand), so if I find I'm in need of burning some oil and electrifying some water, I can do both without a weapon swap. The downside is I will need to invest points in dual-wield to make use of my wands. Using a staff nets me more skill points at the cost of the utility of wands.
I suppose with an investment in dual-wield, wands do also allow me to have some filler attacks if I run into cooldown issues. On that note: with high INT, using a pyro/geo build, can I expect to be casting spells every turn? Or am I going to need something to fill the gaps?
The main point I'm unsure of is what each option brings to the table in terms of stats. Could anyone provide me with some examples of mid-to-late-game wands and staves? Maybe even some legendary/unique examples? Knowing what's to come as far as itemization goes might help me make a decision.
If there's anything else to consider between both options feel free to throw that into the mix as well!
