With my 4 enmity merrits already this is a sure way to MPK myself lol... and imagine that damage taken +10% on a stray -ga spell or dynamis Mijin spell... owch lol
Purchased this along with a Fourth Mace just to compare its damage to my HQ staves. Club/Shield dmg was 100-150 less than HQ staff dmg (ex: 1387 thunder 4 HQ staff, and 1250 club/shield). Not a bad way to go if you were using all NQ staves, but the shield stats would prevent me from using this setup full time. I kite enough as it is after a 1875 Burst II - no need to worry about the added +5 ENM and the +10% dmg taken... Use it on puddings as they die quick if anything.
