Life Staff Skills are one of the Weapon Skill Masteries available in New World. The Life Staff is a magical weapon that employs healing and protective magic, as opposed to the destructive powers of the Fire Staff. As such, the Life Staff is primarily a support weapon that excels in keeping allies alive and bolstering their defenses.
Life Staff Skills are made up of the Healing and Protector trees.
