Is there any kind of time-delay attack similar to EA's splosion but utilizing weapon damage? You could land the initial hit with a real weapon then switch to that ridiculous staff for the damage bonus before it goes off.

Actually if that were possible I guess someone would have done it with a facebreaker swap already. Dang, my Johnny sense is going to be on the fritz for days over this one...

edit: actually, could you just shoot someone with a bow and switch to this thing before the arrow hits? It applies to "physical weapon damage" which an arrow certainly is. Compare to "unarmed melee damage" on a facebreaker which wouldn't work with such a switch. Timing would be tricky, but fun to see if it could be pulled off.

Keep up the searching.

Is it some sort of mechanically super-complicated death machine that you didn't have to code?

I hope it's a pet.

even with 800 str the staff would have just 256 max dmg or am i calculating something wrong? (32x800%)

800% INCREASE
so 9x32=288

288 x 1.2=345

someone corrects me if im wrong

and lets say 300 dex, thats 1.25 x 1.3=1.625 speed

and note that this staff requires lvl 30 to pick up

lol nvm

Are you calculating the physical dmg bonus that str gives to melee physical dmg? It seems like this weapon gives double the benefit of str.

No, but you could play high INT and swap this in for a much bigger EA explosion instead.

No thanks, still prefer swapping for dual redbeaks on my EA lowlifer... or I did until I hit Merc A2 anyway :<

That staff, if built rightly, can be an amazing thing to have.. Still one to go, by the way, the boots and the armour, both are pretty useless uniques. Boots would've been better if they had 60% time decrease in frenzy charges, not 75%, then the armour, if it had "cannot be frozen" it would be a lot better, now it's just meh and I don't think it could be applied to late game.

Anyways, that staff is what I'm really hyped about atm. It's like facebreakers, but this staff would require astramentis now to be actually nice. The sad thing is that I wanted Astramentis long time ago, but the price has always let me down.. Now it's gonna let me down even more..

I dunno about that part...there's already a few uniques that give cannot be frozen, but being chilled can still be a problem, so having one that prevents that as well might be useful for some builds.
