ドルジェ

Lets make an example to compare the damage of the different staffs:
For this example a spell that does 1000 damages is used (without counting the staff and mab).
2 example lvl 95 BLMs without affinity bonuses (excepted the ones coming from the staffs) are used:
1) with low mab 70 (+30 from gear +40 from job trait)
2) with high mab 110 (+70 from gear +40 from job trait)

1)
NQ ele: 1000*1.7*1.1 = 1870
Dorje: 1000*1.95 = 1950
HQ ele: 1000*1.7*1.15 = 1955
Laevateinn (95): 1000*2.2 = 2200
Trial+2: 1000*1.7*1.3 = 2210

2)
NQ ele: 1000*2.1*1.1 = 2310
Dorje: 1000*2.35 = 2350
HQ ele: 1000*2.1*1.15 = 2415
Laevateinn (95): 1000*2.6 = 2600
Trial+2: 1000*2.1*1.3 = 2730

-In the case of both example BLMs, the damage of the Dorje, is between the NQ and HQ level 51 elemental staves.
-It is easy to see that the more mab a blm uses, the less it is worth to use a Dorje over an affinity staff.
-Accuracy of affinity staves is superior.
-Inventory space is where Dorje excels!

"Pair this with Legion Scutum for +15HMP."

Really? A 2-handed staff with a shield? Sweet.

The Main Problem with this staff is that its a blunt number of MAB instead of a % like the HQ staves. That means the HQ staves will still outperform this staff with any tier IV spells, as welll as have more magic accuracy.
SE tried and failed sad to say.

I see this staff going up in price once the new Non- Elemental spell Meteor coming out......

This weapon isn't good for sch, don't fool people into believing that. It has no MACC, and less actual damage than HQ staves give. The MACC alone makes the HQ staves better, kirins pole also is NOT better than the matching staves for helix's due to 0 maacc on kirins(besides the actual int).

Dorje isn't worth 100k

@ Bismarck.Josiahfk
Meteor has always been a "non-elemental nuke" since it was introduced into the game.

There are a number gears that gives a large increase in magic crit rate that just came out. At the cost of a few MAB you can now get over 50% magic crit rate. I'm still not sure how magic critical work but perhaps SE trying to tell us something?

@Syagin
it's not that it's some WW conspiracy to protect an investment. I would never use this staff on BLM for nuking.
A straight 30% bonus, and if I'm not mistaken another 30 macc from elemental staff will do better than this thing. Even if it did outdo an elemental staff, it still would pose little to no threat to the ww community because it is a drop from Pandemonium Warden.
