This has been bothering me for a while so I'm gonna ask you all. I don't melee much ever so I don't have any real experience with this.
Ok so basically I'm looking at 2 staves for the weapon skill Spirit Taker. My current weapon of choice is kirin's pole, and I'm wondering if a Thyrsusstab would be worth getting for higher damage. For those that don't know, Spirit Taker's mods are 50% INT and 50% MND.
My question is this: Kirin's pole has 10 INT and 10 MND. Thyrsomething has 5 more damage on the weapon (and critical%+ but I'm ignoring that). Which would result in higher ws damage? Is 5 more damage on the weapon better then the mods for the WS? I don't care for regular melee damage, just wondering about the WS.
