Well at the moment people customize weapons to get the extra damage out of their weapons, but if you think about it there's really no point in customizing wands and staffs. So I think that once you customize a weapons you get a bonus in energy, not a lot but a decent amount. Maybe even +energy just for caster weapons or something, I just feel staffs and wands should have better benefits when customized.
what do you think?

even +5 energy would help,
really there is no point for casters to customise.

There is a point in customising caster weapons. They can still kick out ~20 damage which is quite useful in finishing low targets in PvP, a lot of players take a "wanding" set with them in GvG's HA etc to finish low targets.

20% of 20 is 24 dmg. That's not really useful...

Insightful staffhead+I Have the Power+Customized +5 energy= imbalances That's +15 energy with no penalty at all. Even 20% spell damage is ridiculous and creates imabalances. Why do you think they nerfed that PvE sunspear ele skill?

/not signed. How much energy does a caster profession need? I think each profession has more than enough as each has some form of energy management. Especially elementalists.

There is a point, even for staves.
But the thing is CHOICE.
If you let wands keep the damage, and the staves get the energy. You let players choice. Wands can get the energy in the focus.

Energy is high enough now as is (what with radiants, attunement runes, and the commonality of caster weapons now that HoD swords are no longer unique). Power creep = bad.

actually +20% dmge is alot lower than you would think, just look at this on daggers."http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10199008"
and anyways I'm asking for like only +2 or 3 energy, nothing big.
and guys 20% more dmge on spells is not this topic!!!!!!!it's not my idea! it the +energy one!

Basicly nerf 20% all the spell damage.
Nevin
How about spells cost 10% less energy? If thats not enough, 50%.
terminus123
cost -10% or alittle more does indeed sound good.
+2-3 energy sounds good too
anything to make customization of staves and wands more viable.

I could see customizing optionally giving you, say, +2 energy or +2 armor instead.
I always viewed customizing as a lure to get you to voluntarily take an item out of circulation...

Decent players customize, bad players dont, end of story.
(i've seen a recruit melee char taking uncustomized weapons into gvg, instakick.)

definitely should not add energy. +5 energy unconditionally would be a bad idea.
and the 20% affecting spells.. what are you smoking? you realize how big a difference that would be?
don't change it at all. thats my opinion

/signed You should get a choice of either +20% damage or +5 energy. +5 Energy is reasonable enough since 5 energy skills would do probably what 20% more damage would do with recharges and casts times and all that equated in. Maybe even a +10 energy increase. I'm sure Anet has the data to see what would be balanced in the way of skills vs the 20% damage, but, I'm thinking really no higher than +5 energy, though +10 would be nice or even some wierd numbers like +7 or +8 or +9 inbetween.
Thinking about it they could also add or replace it with attack speed or run speed % increases. This would really open up all kinds of weapon and customizing them for specific situations. I've always wanted more choices when it comes to weapons and damage output. Energy or speed enhancing % attack or run would be nice.

Weapons should have simple different choices of benefits.
regardless of whhhc weapon you wear.
The player should have the choice bettween:
- +20% more Damage
- +5 Energy
- +10 Energy when Enchanted/Hexed
- -25% Energy Costs of Skills from the Weapon's Attribute
- Enemies killed by this Weapon will give you ever 50 Exp(Bosses not included)
- Enemies killed by this Weapon will drop double/tripple Gold (Money), tripple when killed with a critical Hit
- + 5 Defense
- + 10 Defense vs. a special Sort of Damage
- + 15 Defense when Echanted/Hexed
- + 15% Chance to Block Attacks (parry)
- + 25% quicker ASPD
...
and so on
there are tons of different benefits, that yould be given to a weapon, when customized to a character, then only +20% Damage ...
this would be an slight improvement of the Weapon System in GW, making also weapons more individual to characters, which weild them

There's balancing effects on the game when you start introducing a number of these ideas, especially the huge list of effects listed by Phoenix Tears. I just dont think that's a good idea, even the +5 energy. I have weapon sets to cover different energy and hp needs and I am not sure the +5 energy on customization is good for power creep.
That said, all my caster items for my monk are customized. Fear her wands.

You actually dont need a bigger energy pool unless you are a warrior using elementalist skill (in that case using a focus will do).
You need manage your energy better.
Having 50 energy instead of 45 wont make you stop needing energy. Managing well your 45 energy so you dont run out will.

I seriously hope you don't stand around twiddling your thumbs inbetween casting, wand some shit.... 4 casters wanding inbetween vs not wanding is a lot more extra dmg than you might think.
+20% weapon dmg makes sense, +2-3 energy because you cannot manage your own pool doesn't.

remove auto regen from caster leg armor (leg and boots have a permanent +1 energy regeneration, without armor, you'd have 2) and put this on your staves/wand eh? req. 9 divine, estorage or whatever so it won't be imba on warriors regening up ;o

And furthermore, what's the point of giving weapons mods if you remove it from the leggings and just return things to the status quo. All this does is make all existing weapons worthless.

It's only huge IF it HITS. Too many people think melee weapons and staves hit ALL the time. Well they don't, there's blocks in this game in case you forgot, so other mods that give like +5 energy would allow a player to have a skill on his bar that would get through and with armor penetration at times also I might add like a lightning skill that costs 5 energy. 
I also /sign Phoenix's list of modifications. As far as balance goes hahaha this game has been so out of balance since day 1 and is still out of balance and will never be balanced so that is no reason nor excuse not to implement these ideas /signed /signed /signed.

Faulty logic. " It's already broke so why not break it some more?" come on. Either option would be imba. Blocks are part of the game mechanics. You can't say 20% is worthless because of blocking. Those blocks would occur regardless of whether or not you had the 20% damage on. Realistically you get the same number of hits with or without the 20% damage mod so absolutely it makes a difference.
