Depends what upgrades you want on it. The factions end game green prot focus is pretty nice.

Well for a staff you dont need a focus to go with it, as its two handed.

For a second set though the end game items are pretty nice for a general all rounder.

well, i normally go for +30hp , 20% recharge.

The faction green fit it very well.

If you want go for the gold road remember you have to buy a "forget me not"for about 20k~

Get a 20/20 focus since HCT/HSR is the best (pretty much a need in PvP).

You can make your own or find one on a collector I'm sure.

While I'm all for banter and question/answer for the sake of conversation, the above mentioned wiki can help you locate pretty much anything in the game that isn't a random drop - ie collector stuff, greens, etc. Check it out... the info there really is invaluable.

Guild Hall, Vent, Guesting, PvE, or the occasional HA match...

only for healing. prot focus like that isnt needed and generally a waste of money due to the fact of youre going to want a 40 fc/ 20 recharge/ 20 enchants staff.

why would you need a prot focus? You want to have enchanting 20% spear+ focus combo only if you're not opting for a staff (which you seem to have already).

I generally use 20% enchanting staff since I'm lazy in PvE and don't want to weapon swap to wand things...

I love how people say 20% spear....like having a spear is any different from having a sword or axe with 20%. You're not going to be doing damage either way.

Staff ftw. 20/20 +30 +15 energy is good all around.

Spear is extremely better than a sword, for ex.

Pressing tab with a sword attached draws you into that persons melee range (you are weilding a sword you know)

But as with a spear the range is greatly increased.

Farther from enemy = farther from danger?

Unless you're retarded, you won't be running up into enemies either way. However, a spear is useful for the rare occasion in today's meta where you could wand traps without, you know, being in a wand/staff set. The only time I can think of that you would have a spear/sword/axe without being in your +60hp set (because why would you be wanding traps when you're in need of +60hp?) is if you're playing a healer's boon in which a prot staff isn't really necessary.

double HCT enchanting staff is probably the only prot set you'll ever really need.
