Wand

General
A wand is a right handed, projectile weapon that can require one of a variety of monk, mesmer, elementalist, necromancer or ritualist attributes.

Wands are the one-handed alternative to two handed Staff in combination with a left hand Focus Item. The discussion whether a wand/focus combo or a staff is superior is as old as the game itself.

Damage Stats
The maximum damage range of all wands is 11-22, the same as a staff. Depending on the linked attribute wands deal various damage types. Wands, just like staves, have Recurve Bow range (approx 1.4 aggro circle radius), and attack once every 1.75 seconds. Wands with maximum damage from collectors and weaponsmiths always have an attribute requiremnet of 0. Wands with an attribute requirement of 0 have been observed with damage ranges as high as 6-10.

See wand types below for details on damage types.

Upgrades and Modifiers
Wands may come with non-salvagable magical modifiers, like other weapons, foci, or shields. It is not possible to upgrade a wand with weapon upgrades.
