Stave of Shielding  

 

I think its a nice wep because no lev requirment and its just great for a low lev especially a 20mnk:)

Just hit 50 with my Beastlord and it start to proc for me. Makes it a lot easier to solo with the added AC and Hitpoints. The magic resistance is nice as well for raids where we rarely have a shaman. Shaman buffs will over-write this buff ... esp the talisman series (which I get one at 53).

Weapon is not as fast as I would like but the dmg it does is very nice. Will probably sell it when I hit level 53 and get a chance to test the talisman spell I get.

Hope this helps someone

Gimme HP anyday, don't care where it came from lol. If I have no shammy then I whip it out for procage then bag it. Tonight I retired my Adamante Club and put it in my bag next to my Stave of Shielding. I use it still when I need to stun CH casting mobs. Want a nice weapon save up 510 adventure points and get this: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=24149

WOW! This weapon is REALLY underated! It shoud Cost like 5k+. Any one who sells it for 2k needs help. Someone gave me lvl 4 monk this and its worth it.

Personally, I think this is one of the best droppable weapons for monks, especially at lower levels.

These staves are not lore, so you can use 2 of them and they sell (on Tholuxe Paells) for about 2500pp each. As soon as I get the money, I'm gonna get 2 for my 40 monk.

At level 40, with a maxed DW skill my monk's offhand swings 73% of the time (dw skill + level divided by 400 is the formula for offhand %).

That means 17 X .73 = 12.41 (offhand) + 17 (mainhand) is a damage of 29.41.

So two of these at lvl 40 is 29.41dmg/28 delay.

There is no droppable 2hb that I can buy at this level that comes close to that.

And none of the droppable 1 hand weaps comes close either. Most have high lvl requirements and or reccomended levels. And the one or two h2h weaps that come close are way expensive.

People talk about Wu's and bladed knuckles as being better b/c of the proc, but I haven't found that to be true. These have a 56% better ratio than Wu's sticks. So a Wu stick would have to proc so often that it does an additional 56% damage with procs for it to equal the damage of these staves. For me at least, my Wu stick doesn't proc nearly that much. Same thing w/ bladed knuckles, which have a crappy 25hp dd proc anyway.

Does anyone know when this weapon will start to proc? From the description, it looks like it starts at 24, but is not yet doing it for my level 26 Beastlord =(

All I keep reading is "Whats the big deal with 75hp?" Let me just say that every hp counts. If you have a failed FD or are just in a close fight, 75hp can make all the difference. Do I use this as a weapon? NO. Do I use it till the proc and bag it? YES its got a good ac and hp gain at any lvl..and as a Monk, I scrounge for all the AC and HP I can find.

What woudl be a good 1hb to accompany this? i already have a goranga club, but since its prim only, i prolly wont use it if i get this. Any thoughts?

Okay, here's something highly debatable that I'm looking for some good input on. I bought a Club of the Ice Ocean awhile back not thinking to look for the "Recommended Lvl" thing. Well, needles to say, this thing sat in the bank til my beastlord recently made 51. Now that I'm 51, I'm debating whether to stay with my 2 Stave's of Shielding or to just keep one SoS and use the Club of the Ice Ocean instead. SoS's have 17 dmg and 28 dly where this has 14 dmg 27 dly but also proc a whopping 149 DD which can add up in a fight. So if you're uber and know what you're talking about, please let me know if I should stay with my 2 SoS's or go to 1 SoS and 1 Club of the Ice Ocean.

Level 32 Human Monk here. Thanks for the info in the above postings. I scrimped and saved and got one on the Veeshan server for 2500 platinum due to spirit of competition and free enterprise in the bazaar. What I neglected to do was research the item properly. I guess I have 18 levels to wait for the proc. Till then it's a big damage stick which is ok too.
