Sword or Staff

[Grimfort]

<p>What would you pick and why? </p><p><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Staff_of_the_Impaler" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Staff_of_the_Impaler</a></p><p>or</p><p><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Spine_of_the_Skorpsis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Spine_of_the_Skorpsis</a></p><p>The obvious choice is the sword for that huge dmg range, but how about the staff with spell dmg and crit chance? The extra int would help, but dunno about if Im already at say 700. This will purely be for groups/raids dps.</p><p> Note Im at 77% spell crit and 31% melee crit, but sure to drop the spell crit for better raid type gear later on.</p>

<p>I think sword if better dps due to dmg spread and long delay. But if you are a happy nuker sk you cant go wrong with the staff either.</p><p>And btw since rok, STR > INT. DA and melee crits ftw.</p>

You will never do as much DPS without the sword.... period. The post above me was right to say... DA and melee crit FTW..... Since the expansion the best SKs are between 40 and 45% melee.... you need a good 2 handed weapon for the best DPS
