Attack Type: Crush
Fast for: Mage, Cleric, Shapeshifter Viable for: Everyone else
Uniques : Glimmer, Staff of Azakath, Oaken Staff
  • Pros: Common, fairly versatile, lots of special effects
  • Cons: Damage somewhat lacking
  • High End Choices: For mages still learning spells, Glimmer is the single best item in the game. Azakath and Tetsubo are also good for those mages and necromancers with the skills and strength for them. Iron shod a good generic high end. Staff of Tarran is very good damage and also gives AC. Then there is the chain-staff document, but needs two weapon to use.
  • Two Weapon Choices: Chain-staff works on two-weapon some, otherwise black staff from the yeti caves is light and gives +1 to dex.
