Anyone know by how much it affects Drain and Aspir. Does it just have a higher chance of sticking, or can it do more damage. This would be most easily tested in Dynamis, I'd think.--Altimo 12:25, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
I have not tested this myself but people who have, have said Pluto's Staff enhances the affects more than this staff. However, this staff enhances greater than a NQ Dark Staff. If that is true, it would have to be somewhere between 10-15%. I am unsure if the user had a Anrin Obi as it is very hard to properly test weather/day effects without the proper obi. I'll do a test one day myself but it's not at the top of my things to do list ^^ --Bekisa 14:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
As far as Drain/Aspir is concerned, the elemental staff is far superior. --CharitwoTalk 14:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Compared to Pluto's staff, Diabolos' pole gives +0% magic accuracy and +25% damage for Drain and Aspir. I got results that were a good deal higher than my Pluto's staff gives me in Apollyon with the pole (Drain IIs capping at 580ish instead of 520ish with double dark weather and non dark or light day). --Gerion 02:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
If Gerion is correct, then this pole isn't all that bad. BLM and DRK with capped dark magic skill have no problem landing landing Drain/Aspir in Dynamis, and with +25% effect on this pole compared to +15% on Pluto's, it's a pretty big jump. I've definitely had amazing results with this pole (consistently high drains and consistent 130+ Aspirs, getting up to 180) with Anrin obi on. I don't really try Pluto's staff that much since I got this thing, but I figure I should do some testing one dynamis just to see. --Damien 22:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Has anyone ever tried this pole with Blu drain spells? And if so, how much was the increase? Thank you in advance. Stepwiselawman 21:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC) (Raydon of Titan)
