The fact that some implements are also a weapons makes them superior for damage oriented and/or keyword changing purposes. Staff is eaons better than any of wizard implements for damage, because it is also a weapon, and thus can benefit from Weapon focus. Implement focus feat would level the playing field, making, say, elemental resistance breaching tomes, some orbs, and at-will enhancing wands also good.If you are, say, a warlock, you have to pick either Arcane Implement Proficiency (a weapon, staff is the best because of Staff of Ruin) and Weapon focus with that weapon or take Pact enhanced weapon and Weapon focus. Rods, built specifically for warlocks, are left dry. Luckly, Dual implement spellcaster helps in this case.Staff is the worst offender. It is both an implement, making it a Superior implement option; it is a weapon, so Weapon focus and Flaming/Frost/Lighting options apply; and it has Staff of ruin as an enchantment. And dont get me started on Syberis shard of Mage...</blockquote>
