Wand

General
A wand is a right handed, projectile weapon that can require one of a variety of monk, mesmer, elementalist, or necromancer 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 a range of 80 ft (slightly less than the aggro circle) and attack once every 1.75 seconds.

See wand types below for details on damage types.

Upgrades and Modifiers
A wand may come with a number of non-salvagable magical modifiers, just like any other weapon, focus, or shield. However, it is not possible to upgrade a wand with a weapon upgrade
