10,000 ATTACK!!

Well, by today I'm actually at 10057/2043 attack. Santa gear of course is helping me along in that respect. Pointed is at 9150/2002.

I'm currently doing blackjacks to try and raise my sneaking, and there's been a lot of question about whether the staff of good or staff of banana is more powerful. My blunt is at 676/544. So I took both staffs and headed for darkmoor to do a little testing of my own. I killed five gnolls using the staff of good, then five more with the staff of banana, one by one. I started each attack with a blackjack.

The results were interesting.

Staff of Good

1) 37 (time in seconds to kill)
2) 41
3) 47
4) 48
5) 37

Average = 42 seconds

Staff of Banana

1) 42
2) 40
3) 38
4) 38
5) 36

Average = 39 seconds

I was actually surprised how quicky I was able to kill gnolls with a blunt weapon. The staff of banana is 3 seconds faster by average but I would have to compare them more to really see any difference. From the results I'd say there isn't really that much of a change between using one staff of the other. I'd say the staff of good was likely designed to have the extra hit that it used to have, and that made it better than the staff of banana. But now that it no longer has that extra hit, there isn't much of a bonus to having the SoG over a SoB, in my opinion.

I also killed five gnolls with the tainted knife.

Tainted Knife

1) 33
2) 46
3) 36
4) 38
5) 34

Average = 37 seconds

Interesting how having more than TEN TIMES the amount of pointed than blunt, and there is little advantage to using the knife over either of the staffs.
