This creates a dilemma where you have to choose between aiming your ability or blasting enemies with the staff. Of course, you could just use it like an [Extreme Prejudice](\/wiki\/staff-of-extreme-prejudice), but it has much less overall damage.\n\nDespite its drawback, it is still undoubtedly powerful, boasting extraordinarily high DPS and crowd-control abilities. Hitting all its shots will give the user damage output that far surpasses that of just about every other staff in the game - the aformentioned EP is the only one better, and even then, the Staff of Unholy Sacrifice will surpass it at mid-to-high DEF.\n\nAbilities that create lasting, stationary effects are the most effective. The [Genesis Spell](\/wiki\/genesis-spell) and [Sporous Spray Spell](\/wiki\/sporous-spray-spell) do their work whenever firing backwards or not. Mystics are similarly great users, if Stasis is unecessary; once a boss gets cursed, you can continue firing backwards.\n\nNecromancers have a harder time. But while in true range, a cursor located slightly backwards might still have enough range to drain the target. A Wizard without the aformentioned spells has it the hardest - having to choose between spells or the staff. This most often leads to a lack of DPS compared to plain old options.
