Ridiculously powerful for BRD. 10 CHR along with +20 Magic Accuracy for Elegy and Lullabys.

Some clarification:

This particular staff only outperforms HQ elemental staves in terms of accuracy when landing accuracy and dINT/dMND/dCHR is low. This means that the staff performs best on enemies with high-resistances.

What this also means is that this staff is great on any enfeeble that relies on stats for potency, such as Paralyze, Slow, and even Poison II. It's not as beneficial to, say, Bard debuffs except in situations where resists are frequent (less than 50% accuracy). RDM will see the most benefit due to the added element of potency on top of Magic Accuracy on enemies more likely to resist with Mythic Wand +1 and Muse Tariqah. Essentially, a RDM would never need elemental staves for enfeebling when in possession of this staff.

This is a GREAT staff for RDM. Best used where you can't land spells with Mythic Wand+1 + Muse Tariqah but you want a potent Paralyze(2) and/or Slow(2).

This is not the best Helix Staff HQ staffs are still best. Yes helix is based on Int but the 15% is better.

The staves also have MACC... slightly more than this weapon does if I remember correctly, but even if it was equal or slightly below the potency bonus on HQ staves puts them ahead in nuking DoT. It's a great choice for MND-based enfeebles and Stoneskin though, and if the 10 INT puts you over 150 it's the best weapon for the Elemental Debuffs as well.

Best elemental enfeeble staff... and stoneskin staff. That's about it.

Quit dreaming that HQ elemental staves can be replaced.

@ Draciont. In 80% of the situations a scholar would find themselves in HQ staves would rank better. But against monsters with much superior int then the run of the mil ones. This staff comes out ahead. You'll really only need it against Wyrms and other higher nms with high INT such as kirin. 15% is only as good as what it's increasing.

Over on the one forum I saw some tests with 500 casts of sleep on a mob, with high skill on a rdm testing elemental staves and macc, it was shown that most people underestimate the power of MACC since it hasn't always been around. I would definatly like to see some tests with this staff vs normal and HQ elemental staves.

This staff will be worth a lot less pretty soon, when SE releases the Prism Staff in one of the upcoming updates. So if you see anyone selling it 'cheap', know that it could be not as cheap as you think...
