I think something needs to be done about the Rathen's/Empower/Cthulhu Staff build. Whenever any half-competent wizard takes it, the station is depopulated in about 10-15 minutes, and there's really nothing you can do to counter it. As long as the wizard can see you, he can bash you to death from within the safety of a grille or another room.
I think this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for two things:
- Hitting someone with the staff a couple of times knocks them out for a long time, at a much faster rate than a regular stamina-inducing weapon does.
- The staff does brain damage, which bypasses all the usual damage types and kills people in seconds.
Either remove the knockout part so that even brain-damaged people have half a chance of running away, or remove the brain damage part but make the staff do fire extinguisher/toolbox levels of brute, so the wizard can still beat someone to death given enough time.
