This might seem like a "noob" question to ask. But I've played a shaman since I started playing, right after BC was released. I've never heard from anyone, anywhere that it was a good idea to use a staff.
So here's my issue, do I stick with my gut, and my thought process so deep inside of my soul, or do I try the staff?
Possibly needed info - Elemental Shaman.
Items in question -

I put enchants on them, just so I could see. What should I do? Do the classic idea of 1hand/shield or try out a staff?

Are you serious on that comparison? The staff is superior by FAR...

My confusion lies in the fact that I was told Elemental Shaman could benefit more from having the two (main hand and shield) for durability, and ability to block occasionally.

there shouldent be any confusion you go with the staff since its stats are better.

No no no...and no. If somebody told you that they are seriously ill-informed. As an elemental shaman you should rarely if ever get hit. Perhaps if the main hand and sheild were equal item level, then yes they may be more beneficiary. But a 232 staff would far outweigh a 200 shield and weapon...especially since they are both healer items....
Let the TANK be worried about durability and blocking...chances are if you get hit you're going to die anyway.

PvP is where you generally must keep the shield/1h, PvE doesn't matter since you aren't getting hit.

The whole point of having a sheild/1h is the the extra enchant 25int to shield With the gear go with the Staff all the way
