What's up with this staff?  I couldn't find anything about it on the forums or the wiki. 

The --20 magery actually adds 20 magery instead of subtracts.  The faster casting doesn't seem to actually effect casting speed, and I can't swing it when it is equipped.  Is it used for a quest or something?

  My first question is, can you use primary and secondary attacks with it?

  Observation: two - always cancel each other out making a positive

  O [zero] weapon speed-- similar to wands-- means it can't be swung... so no auto damage


   If the item cant be used to attack in melee form some how, then it is junk.

  As far as I know it is not a quest item, but there are so many quests that have come and gone here on EVO; I could be wrong.

No primary or secondary moves work with it either.  Oh well, I think it must be from an old quest then since it is dropped from a named monster.

Is there anything from the donation list that would make this item usable?

Levi Hex used to carry one of these into PVP and he and Kendil were nothing to scoff at in a fight so I would think that there is at least SOME appeal/use for it. Pretty sure it was part of a monster's loot table but I can't remember which one...

The Warlock Staff is amazing just the way it is. 8)  Let me clarify, the --20 magery is +20 Magery weapon. That alone is huge.

So basically it is more like holding a spell book with properties just looks "cooler", but is not intended for use as a melee weapon?

Since this is still being resurrected, and I personally carry one, I'll chime in.  The staff offers an instant cap on FC, it will never break, and is a two handed weapon that gives +20 Magery.  Since I run Bushido, and I am a "Mage", I stack magery, not for any real damage output, but in pvp that extra 20 Magery certainly helps with my mini-heals.  For me, it is the perfect "weapon", for others, it might be useless.

Thanks for your perspective Emperor_Norton. Bottom line, this is not a melee weapon, but it is a valuable weapon to hold for mage-based templates. Got it - thanks.
