Best Class for Each Weapon

• 
  Sceptres: 1 passive on the main tree names them — Lord of the Wilds, nearest for Druid (15 points).
• 
  Staves: no passive on the main tree names them; the Disciple of Varashta ascendancy node Instruments of Power (You can equip a Focus while wielding a Staff; 50% reduced bonuses gained from Equipped Focus). Druid and Sorceress start with one.
• 
  Wands: no passive on the main tree names them. Witch starts with one.

For each weapon we take the passives whose text names it (crossbows also count Bolt, Ammunition and Reload; bucklers Parry; talismans Shapeshift, since every Shapeshift skill requires a Talisman) and count how many each class can allocate within 15, 20, 30 points of its start, walking the shortest path on the tree from the game files. Passives for a whole hand group (One or Two Handed Weapons, Block) are shown on each weapon's page but only break ties. Ranger and Huntress share a start, as do Witch and Sorceress. Each weapon page lists the nearest notables, ascendancy nodes and which class starts with that weapon.
