I bought this
Magnificent Hallowed Oak Staff of Heimdalland get this from FoS
Magnificent Hallowed Willow Staff of Destruction.
I check their fully forged level 500 attribute
Then, all of a sudden, a thought came into my mind.
Why not Hallowed Willow Staff of Destruction?
A recommended Holy mage uses the Hallowed Oak Staff of Heimdall.
So, the total MDB will be less than 5000.
Destruction increases the damage by more than 10%.
The only problem is prof.
You need prof robe + prof cap + 585 to reach 1PF
the attribute scales among armor are 1.0 1.2 0.9 1.1 0.8.
If we switch from glove + shoes to robe + cap, we only lose 0.5 EDB,
which is about 39-40 EDB.
3+2 holy usually has 430-440 EDB, let's say 430.
This means you can deal MDB * (1+4.3) damage (not considering crit damage)
Losing 40 EDB only loses 7.5% damage.
1*0.925*1.1 > 1
Conclusion:
Hallowed Willow Staff of Destruction also works.
The main disadvantage is that you can't switch to 4+1
Any correction?
willow of destruction grants no holy prof, and you'll sacrifice ~150EDB for ~750 MDB gain.
I thought I've already discussed this in the Chinese thread few months ago. By using this, you'll have to go for 2+3(3 prof, since you lose 129 from staff) to meet the prof requirement before you hit max holy prof, and that's an additional sacrifice of not only MDB but also ~70-80 EDB.
the deprecating prof is not the only concern of holy mage style my friend. Willow just grant nothing holy.
3+2 holy(full radiant with 50%MDB and EDB) is ~4500*4.40(with a 50%50% hallowed oak of heimdall)
if you switch to a peerless hallowed willow of destruction, assuming you don't change your cloth, it shifts to 5250*3.00 and you know the math.
Edit1: I don't see any 600 prof mage still using magnificents (IMG:[

Edit2: can't do 4+1 is enough for end game mage to salvage those.
