Spinal Shivers is single-target, and doesn't do self-swiftness (am I the only one who sees the advantage of BOTH snaring the enemy, AND increasing your own speed? They'd need BOTH condition and boon removal to even it back out). It has the advantage of range, certainly.
The Staff has the advantage of both, but has the disadvantage of being a 2H weapon.
TRADE OFFS ABOUND!
