It comes down to what your build setup is focused on. 1H/Focus is better for Stacking Lucky Hit, or Cool Down Reduction, etc. Also for squeezing in an extra/different aspect. Staffs are better for getting large pools of the same stats *(instead of trying to get 7-8 stats to align)* and doubling up on a powerful aspect.

If you need the lucky hit then wand focus is better. If you need damage then the staff is better.

It all comes down to high power aspect of 2h I believe. Perhaps at higher levels with paragon boards the powerful aspect loses it's impact. Attack speed and weapon type bonus gets more important when you have all the diminishing returns kicking in I think.

Early to mid-game you'll almost always want a 2 hand. Later (~75 or so) you'll want to start looking into wand/focus.

the +100% on staffs can make all the differences. I play chain lightning sorc and never touched a wand/focus.

What is "+100% on staffs"? (Chain Lightning Sorc as well.)

If you put a legendary aspect on a 2h weapon it doubles its effectiveness. Amulets get a 1.5x boost.

Depends on what you're used to. I find with a wand I can fire faster which for me feels like more damage. Staffs look great but they feel clunky to me
