    I took a look through Battle Mage skills. It doesn't look like they have an element.

    So buying an elemental staff for one would be a terrible idea. The elemental staffs reduce damage when used with skills of the wrong element (not fire/poison or ice/lightning)

    It also doesn't reduce damage of neutral element skills, like the ones BaM's have. So they won't be subject to the damage reductions unless I missed some news along the way.

    Since Elemental Staffs require LUK, wouldn't a reverse staff or something else be a better option (assuming there is no damage reduction for neutral elements)?

    Speed affects BaMs.

    Estaffs are amazing for them

    mike has been telling me for ages to buy an estaff, and now that im finally out of debt, i can start saving up for one. My BaM is 127, hopefully 128 soon, but im content with my current staff, but still speed is a major factor for BaMs

    The 103 one is good. The higher level one is like 163 or something. And yes, the higher leveled ones are insanely expensive.

    Yea, the other two types of elemental weapons you see are wands, so keep in mind that those won't work for a BaM (lvl 70 and 130).

    Since 4th tier was removed, the insane cost of the Estaff5-8 is not really worth your meso. You could scroll, cube, and EE a great Es1-4 for the price of a clean Es5-8 (about 150-250k nx, depending on type/stats). Only worry about equipping the high lvl ones if you're already pretty set for end-game gear. Your base luk will be too high otherwise; it is possible, though difficult, to equip an Es5-8 with 23 base luk and minimal sacrificed int.
