Welp, there goes my dream of having a Stave dual-wield keystone... or is it?

Looks like an awesome entry staff for people to use, although not BiS of course, certainly makes staff users have access to a better common item, considering how there are no current spell staffs other than searing touch atm that are actually good late game

It's from the newsletter that went out to many players earlier.

wow. no downside? it's got the smell of a BiS unique, that's for sure.

EDIT: to be fair though, we're still not clear if the echo gem works the same way as the echo shrine, and I have only met that shrine once. maybe it'll have a scaling mana cost multiplier.

imaginary downsides are like imaginary friends

theres nothing wrong with having strong staffs, this staff is intended for spellcasters and it serves its function.

Assumption: It has +2x Mana on it because Echo actually consumes mana unlike CoCSD

a good guess is that spell echo works like iron will - 1 mod that never changes and another mod that changes slightly with leveling, so that a level 30 gem is only marginally stronger than a level 20 one(see Doon Cuebiyari)

this staff - a potential 7 link - is very powerful by itself and will see a lot of use, but it will never come close to those +3 to gems crafted monsters

no castspeed/crit , and the most favourable mod on a staff for a caster is + gems as otherwise you might aswell run wand/dagger/sceptre + shield.

it can become a 7link ofcourse , but a +2/+3 staff woulda been nicer nonetheless ( i assumes , as i havent seen what spell echo does yet , or how it scales at lvl 30).

regardless , its a nice staff to use until you find something very nice to replace it with =)

The +100% max mana mod will be insane for mana regeneration, Arctic Armour and Mind over Matter :D
