Let's face it, they're useless, as strong as a sword but far slower, not as long as a longspear nor as strong, they can't be thrown, they really are useless. Perhaps I'm wrong, it's been awhile since I've read through the books, but I'm pretty sure the only weapons mentioned for the elves in the books are Swords, Spears, Knives, and Bows.

'''My suggestion is to replace Battlestaves with Great Swords. '''

These would be the 2-handed swords that you see in the movies with the long blade, and long handle. They can be easily seen in the openning of Fellowship of the Ring. Yes I know what you're thinking' "The movies aren't cannon", however if what I said above about what weapons are mentioned in the books for elves is true, these are more cannon than battlestaves. I'd suggest they be stronger, and longer than your normal sword, but slower, but not as slow as the battlestaff, nor as long as a longspear.

Ofcourse, you could always just give the battlestaff a boost, and I'd suggest that be the case if they are in the books. But as it stands, they really are useless.
