    ...Which skill is important for those technological items? Melee or firearms?

    Are you sure? Tsela rods are ranged, why would they be melee? Isnt that an oxymoron?

    Shocking Staff and Tesla Rod

    Well, for the Shocking Staff melee is more important. For the Tesla Rod, firearms is more important. It is really good if you build both up at the same time because they both are really good weapons.

    I believe that the tesla rod is similar to bows in that their to hit bonuses come from DEX rather than PER like firearms. That being the case I would have to say that melee is skill used since it is also based on DEX. Firearms skill is based on PER. Or it could be based on throwing (another skill dependent on DEX).

    The only way I could hit the broad side of a seething mass with the Tesla rod was to have skill in firearms.
