Is The Bo Staff a Viable high-level weapon style?

[Murc]

or will I be eventually forced to switch to fist weapons?are there enough quality Bo Staffs to warrant going exclusively with that style of weapon?

YES to your question.  They are.

<span style="font-size: medium;font-family: times new roman,times;">The best non-raid Bo is the Chitin one from Anaphylaxis. And that isn't as good as dual wielding, say, the epic and the Ryjesium Knuckles from CoA (or, if you're on a PvP server, Purifier). So, unless you raid a lot, you're probably going to end up not using a Bo.Imo.</span>

Yea, agree with everyone. I have gotten all the t-8 Legendary bo's from quests and none of them equal the killing power of my duel weilds, which are non-fabled right now.

<p>The Venomous Chitin Bo is a very good weapon and it is probably one of the best weapons to use unless if you have your epic and something like the Ryjesium Knuckles to dual weild.  The Ryjesium Knuckles with the Knuckle Dusters for instance will do alot less damage than the Bo.</p><p>I think my record parse with my Bo was against Arch Duke Latol, where I parsed 4500 dps.  I have an adornment on the bo but it's plus 10 to defense but no offensive adornments. I would definitely keep the Bo in inventory to use though, especially against anything with a damage shield; with a delay of 6 you won't take as much damage yet still put out a decent amount.</p>

<p>While some of the high end bo's are good, they dont do as much damage as for example the epic and ryjesium knuckles, or even as good as the ryjesium knuckles and deklium cudgel.  Plus with two weapons you get more stats then on a single weapon as well as extra procs/adorments, etc. </p><p>A bo will do more damage in a single hit but not more damage over time.</p><p>So while you wont be forced away from your bo as they still do some decent damage...if youre trying to do as much damage as possible you probably should dual wield.</p>
