Staff 3 is that lovely defensive swirl, which can be used on the move, and Staff 4 provides a minor condi clear. I don't mean to suggest a complete rollback, but at least put some damage back into SotM. and this build is also very demanding in terms of positioning which most of you whos used to s/s herald probably have no idea what that is since you are pure melee. so basically you want staff nerfed in pvp.
