Is there some advantage to rods that I'm not seeing over wands? Whenever I look at the damage of a rod vs. a wand, the wand seems to come out similar, with the advantage of many more charges. And yet the price/score of rods seems much higher than similar wands. Is it just the fact that rods are electricity proof?
For example, my current Mage has:
Wand of Nexus Ball - 5/5 - damage 107 - score 5.88.
Rod of Sound Ball - 2/2 - damage 120 - score 10.2
The wand can put out a lot more damage in 5 turns than the rod, yet is score is half as much. Maybe not the best example because I assume Sound Ball stuns. So here's a more apples to apples example:
Rod of frost ball - 2/2 - damage 78 - score 4.46
Wand of frost ball - 9/9 - damage 82 - score 5.82.
Shouldn't that wand be a lot more desirable than the rod, not just a little?
I feel like there's an advantage to rods that I'm missing.
