Why does it not buff the ma of staff anywhere near the same rate as when mellee weapons at already near triple the attack then get theirs doubled?
Currently
my top end intense staff adds 52ma to my max
My top end intense axe adds 266 attack to my max

Probably only makes a difference if you whack something with it... It should be MA tho

I believe it does have the same effect as any other weap it's just on the mellee attack, which is worthless, dont know why staff even has a mellee attack

I'm fairly certain staff skill does add a bonus to magic attack (maybe flat MA, maybe a multiplier) but not to the degree that melee weapons do (around 2.2~2.24x to max).

But even then, the biggest issue with a multiplier is that it obviously gives a greater benefit to a large number; so AoO is always going to receive a larger actual bonus than a staffs MA will by virtue of AoO having 96+ max attack and SoS only having 31+ max MA.

its ur spells and int ( wis, whatever the dev is for int ) that does the main damage..ur staff just buffs it. And ye..the staff skill buffs it further...but no idea of numbers

200 staff skill my max ma is buffed from 43 max ma on staff to a 52 max ma in f10 so it adds 9 for me
Fyi my AoO max attack is 133 non upped, there are higher

Black magic skill buffs your magic att, staff dosnt affect it if I remember correctly

I got my stats from f10 screen though by equip/unequipped staff so unsure how that would work, has be staff
