Efreeti Ice Staff  

 

This is the coolest staff i've ever had. I change weapons at least once a month with my monk, just because there are so many cool ones for us to choose from. And from all the ones i've used, (ifs,peacebringer, SoS, Ringed mace of ykesha, jade mace, cane of harmony, runed morning star, wu/kd, nobles walking stick, moss covered twig + others) this one has been the most fun.
When i solo it procs three or more times a fight consistantly with 122 dex.
When i'm grouped I take off my dex gear putting me at 92 dex and it hardly procs at all, and aggro isnt a big deal.
I think the speed and weight on this stick are perfect, and with 10ac its like having an extra idol of the thorned. This weapon is well rounded.

Just for a bit of clarification it procs at 50 and does 60 dmg and then minus about 35-55 ac. It procs often for me so i only use it when soloing or on raids. The debuff part is a MAJOR tuanter. Usually when it procs once i have the mob on me. If it procs 3 times during a fight the warrior or tuanter usually doesnt get it off me. In my tinker bags i carry around AC and Resist gear and some other utilities. Just a little reminder, when equiped with this weapon make sure you have AC and hps up because the mob will get on you. It doesnt drop all the time off Dojo mustard and there are 2 forms. The monk and the warrior form that i have seen. He will drop the staff or the axe and then often 2 other items which can vary.

Hello, whats with all the non related crap, this is not a Monk message board !! Its a discussion area for the Efreeti Ice staff. Though after reading all the posts I have to admit being a bit entertained. First off I do have this staff on my level 40 Monk Twink. It does not proc yet and I am not sure when it will start. I have spoke to many people that say it is 60dd and -50ac though not sure on the ac debuff that sounds a bit too good. If you want a good well rounded weapon this is the best in the game for monks. Good ac good weight good damage not too fast and not too slow. But it has a deley under 40 so the damage cap is not as high as it would be with a slightly slower weapon. I hit for 105 max at level 40 with STR slightly over 100. But I have tried the 38/40 and I do not do as much damage with it when soloing. Because of its weight and no ac bonus on it I loose about 100ac or more using it and can not go toe to toe with a lot of blue mobs. With the Efreeti Ice staff I solo most blue stuff just fine. At level 40 i can solo all day in Overthere and get very good Xp. On a raid this item should proove to be very sweet as it will slighly debuff the mob for every ones benifit. At level 40 I can out damage any other mele class up to close to 50. Now so I don't feel left out of the heated discussion above, Monks are awsome and would never go back now, I have a 48warrior, 30ranger, 30sk and a bunch of caster classes. The monk rules on damage. In a group the monk will out damage the wizard as long as the wizaed is pacing hime self. If the waizard dumps all his mana then he would ofcourse out damage me on that fight but would loose out on the next 4 while he medded. Think about it i do over 200 damage per 3.5 sec with this weaponand my double attack and kick. thats alot of damage over a 2 min fight. Though i have to admit I was a bit surprised last night when i grouped with a 45 mage for the first time. The air pet was hitting for 44 about ever 1 sec with its double or quad hits I did not try to do the math but would say he was maybe doing as much damage as me plus the mage was nuking which is insane anyway. I would not want to try dueling a mage, as the pet and the nukes would probably be the end of me quickly so now you all can go pick on mages since they can out damage a twinked monk and the mage can me naked to do it.

monks are a very hard class to play. (i have a lvl 57 monk) i didnt have the best equipment at lvl 51 and was pulling in karnor's at RCY. i was breaking room and 2 scryers were up all i see is

Skeletal scryer begins to cast a spell
Skeletal scryer begins to cast a spell
with 2 drolvarg sentry's on me
next thing im dead
and someone said that warriors only get 300-400 hp difference? at lvl 51 i only had 1448hp and 910ac unbuffed and it is very hard to FD pull casters cuz u have to wait til they are done casting and if they are a wizard type in can be a ***** so all u warriors that are complaining that warriors are gettin screwed just start a monk and see what it is like to play them cuz u need to know how to FD pull good

I have one of these on my monk, the proc does 60 damage, there is no dot to it, I attacked a pretty low level mob, as soon as it proced I turned off attack.. and the life bar didn't go down at all :p
also, looking at the spell data file, it says the proc does a 60 DD and neg 15 AC, the ac debuff lasts for 1 min(60 seconds)
it's ice based, and while fighting in kedge, it seemed to go off quite a bit.. the "Your frostbite spell was resisted" over and over in red kinda stuck out :p

I haven't faught much with it other than in kedge(where things are pretty much imune to cold anyways) so far no low level mobs outside of kedge have resisted it :)

wat is the proc?? i hear
-15ac 60+dd
-50ac 60+dd
-50ac 500 dot??
or wats the real proc anyways??

Maybe some of you loser lvl 60 monks will drop them heavy *** tranquil staff and pick up one of these so you can actually be more effective overall. You might lose 100 damage a minute with this thing (feign), but hella worth it for the weight and ac, so you can load up on other good heavy monk stuff like idol of thorned or kromrif legs.

I give this staff a thumbs up... good job verant. =)

As far as the verant monk jealousy post I'd have to say, look how many warrior, sham, and druid items, were added with velious... then look at monk stuff... monk get the least amount of stuff, and are still forced to either endure the boring as hell quests or use all / all loot.

On mobs like dain, etc... monk still get owned compared to warriors who can get cobalt n stuff and actually survive a few rounds, so if this staff keeps a monk alive another round, I say "cheer"

We all know the trakanon staff is better, but this still rocks.
