Fire Staff Skills are one of the Weapon Skill Masteries available in New World. The Fire Staff is a magical weapon of vast destructive power. The Fire Staff employs fire spells, dealing heavy damage and inflicting burn, which deals damage over time. Certain spells with the Fire Staff are excellent at crowd control, dealing damage in a large area and keeping enemies at bay.
Fire Staff Skills are made up of the Fire Mage and Pyromancer trees.
