The 33-Month Veteran Reward<\/a> gives you a choice between a permanent Nemmy Staff and Blackwand.<\/p>\n

What’s the dif?<\/p>\n

The Blackwand will deal extra damage for users of Magic Origins. Assuming both these items are on par with Sands of Mu, the Blackwand in the hands of a Magic user might be dealing some tremendous damage.<\/p>\n

Granted, this power won’t probably be very good in the late game, but it would definitely rock in the early game. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since this is going to come up a lot, here’s my thoughts on the trade off:<\/p>\n

If you are Magic Origin, it’s a tough choice. Blackwand will do more damage than the Nemesis Staff, and it’s Negative Energy damage, rather than Smashing. On the other hand, the Nemesis Staff has a pretty good Disorient and Knockback, so offers better control. <\/p>\n

If you are not magic origin, Blackwand does exactly the same damage as the Nemesis Staff, but has no secodary effect. Additionally, the Nemesis Staff has a 25% greater range, but costs more endurance per use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And, of course, Blackwand is a Great Weap– oh, wait, already told that joke.<\/p>\n

Now, evidently there’s all sorts of other debate about Sands of Mu and the Undead Axe, but I haven’t seen any red name comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
