Quarter staff builds are all the rage right now, so I'd like to grind out a few for future lives.

What are the must-have staves for a staff build? Assume I plan to level from 1...
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I'd add at least Theurgic Stave. BtA, two slots, good damage and crits. Also iirc decent durability/hardness.

I've got 2 rubies of endless night I could cram in there Tongue

Tell me: Would a Theurgic Stave with 2 endless night rubies still be any good at lvl 15?

Are they?
I thought the whole QS with Master's Blitz rage faded after Pally and Bard passes where SWF became more the flavor?

I haven't been playing much, so haven't seen if staves are back so to speak.

As others have said, get plenty of Adamantine ore or carry spares.   Grin

If you want to maximize your use of sneak attack then a greensteel radiance quarterstaff is nice.  Breeze is great as well, and is essentially a rapier of air in quarterstaff form.

The new xoriat chain has a Bone Crusher and Epic Bone Crusher as well.

Rahl's from mindsunder is good.

Souleater was popular but there are better sticks out there now.

Luminous Truth is also good.  Not the best at level 16 - I would think Breeze would carry well all the way past 20 - but Luminous Truth is a lot easier to aquire.

Ok, maybe they were just all the rage six months ago Tongue What do I know? I'm well-behind the curve.

Bone Crusher looks interesting.  Luminous Truth is vendor trash through.  no extra die step.  no aug slots.  no thanks.

The most broken epic PL in the game is the ridiculous AC buff from martial PLs. But when you include all the inherent benefits from reincarnation, the thing is above the roof. The benefit from TR was supposed to be minimal, but now it is game breaking. start a new character and you will feel, you will get raped in heroics.

Personally I think lower heroics on new characters are harder than Legendary Elite content on a character with good gear and has all destinies farmed.

Wow.

Have you EVER gone to Law School Feyn? Have you EVER been asked by a United States Senator who is now the Vice President of the United States to write a paper just for him on a particular topic of Constitutional Law for his use as a Senator? Have you ever been asked to help a very notable Harvard PhD turned Constitutional scholar with his very-well received book on Legal Philosophy and Constitutional Revolutions? Have you ever been offered a job as a Deputy Attorney General BEFORE you even graduated Law School?

No? Then STFU you fucking amateur.

Stave of seer is actually better unless you are cha built.

Stave of Seer is enhanced crit range (not keen, its innate crit range) 19-20/x2, base dmg is 1.5[2d6], + 5 int and wis, useless +5 umd, can add int or wis to atk and dmg, also has orange and red slots. Oh it also has a true seeing 1/ day and its ml 8.

Many years ago, I recieved most of the infractions that would one day result in my ban in a thread  arguing with people how much better scimitars were than khopeshes.  This was around the time before Amrath came out. 

And yet today it puzzles me that there isn't this same mentality with Rahl's might having a 3X crit multiplier.

I'm not trying to offend anyone or say that your all borderline retarded or anything like that I'm just wondering the hows or whys of your change in mentality. 

I mean this is no different I have always banged my head against the wall of the DDO community only to have my most righteous disbelievers and offenders adopt my concepts years later (with never so much as a word mind you) But still, almost like an academic treatise trying to pin down certain traits in a species of fucking apes I am now wondering why it is that this 3X crit multiplier isn't so high on the list of desireable stats on a staff.

Thoughts?

It's nice 18-19. Then there's better stuff. It's no better than Luminous Truth though. 19-20x2 = 20x3 if all else is equal...and LT is lower ML.
