Notes:

Part of the Phylactery Mystic set.
A phylactery refers to an object commonly used by liches in fantasy settings to house their soul and therefore protect them from death. This correlates to the Phylactery Bearers that drop the item and set, as they make the Lich boss practically invincible until they are killed.

Although this staff has a higher base damage than the Staff of the Cosmic Whole, it has a -20% rate of fire which makes the overall base DPS less than that of the Staff of Astral Knowledge. The range reduction is also to take into account, comparable to that of Bow classes.

The Staff of the Cosmic Whole outclasses this staff in terms of DPS until 67/79/80 DEF.
