Staff takes time to load doll is pretty strong.

Here are some results i got from raiders of how long it takes to kill them.
Doll= 2 lifedrain 1 swarm
Staff= 5 wither
I do see staff stronger. if i would have used desolation it could cut down to 2 attacks.

Desolation should only be used to show off trust me.

lol people do that. and i seriously never use desolation. (only in bb)

Yea If you want to use desolation in battle bring some Miracle Water.

definitely the staff
