Best Enshrouded Staff Builds
Staff builds cast spells, including the totem and skeleton spells the 1.0 files hold, so Quick Charge (faster staff charge-up) and Spellslinger (staff damage) are their staff nodes. A staff deals what its spell deals, so the element skill follows the spell.
The Summoner, Fire Mage, Ice Mage and Necromancer use a staff; few staffs in our data are matched to a 1.0 item yet, and each build page says which.

Staffs these builds name
Every staff the builds above name that we can match to the 1.0 game files, with the tiers it comes in there. A "likely match" agrees on most, not all, of its perk slots.
