I cant decide which of these 2 staves to use. One has 33 Magic which seems awesome, and a proc, and the other has awesome attack etc etc. Both are nice but i could use some other opinions?

Baseline the Pyre is slightly better, higher heal on kill and slightly more attack.
Fury of the Veil scales better though, has the 2% Veilstrike chance and no wasted stats.
Also they don't have the same item mods.

It's only the blade that's different, and that's easily enough changed.
Where do you get those staves, though? I've never seen them in-game in several playthroughs, although I'm not a completionist, so...
The second staff has 6 attack + 33 willpower + 1 magic = +23% attack total, so they are not that different. The extra base damage means about 1.5% more damage to everything, which is also good. The armor penetration on the first staff is useless, because elemental attacks and spells automatically ignore armor.
You might be able to switch around the upgrades to get a staff that's better than either one.

Well ive been playing for about a month or just over a month and do a few hours a day of multiplayer usually and i JUST got thje Pyre last night. Ive had the Veil staff for a while and ive been using it but ive wanted a unique staff, then i got one and it really doesnt seem much diff... or even better lol. ive been swapping between the two today and Veil seems better. In threatening instances a Chain lightining hit (with +30% dmg ring) is killing 2 mobs with 1 cast, with the Pyre staff though it only does about half dmg on them... im guessing from the extra 33 Magic on Fury of the Veil... seems like a hard staff to beat to be honest..... kind of makes me sad.. i want a rare purple staff not a blue one.
Does guard / armor penetration bonus affect Spirit Sword skill from Arcane warriors or is it just completely worthless on a staff?

Don't know about Arcane Warriors, but Spirit Blade for KEs is spirit damage, so it ignores armor. If the damage number is red, it's physical damage and affected by armor (unless it comes from a rune). Otherwise, it's non-physical, so it isn't affected by armor.
Armor penetration on staff?? who is the genius that designed this?

Oh, they're multiplayer staves. I should have known--nothing in singleplayer approaches those stats unless it's a self-created staff.
