Green Ezeria's Ice Blast Staff or Pink Icebolt Staff of Mastery

[Spiritualist]

OK, so my question is which to use:

<Green> Ezeria's Ice Blast Staff : lvl 30, 93 int, 70-80 dam, 1.3 speed, 4 int, 2% crit, 1 armor

<Pink> Icebolt Staff of Mastery : lvl 30, 91 int, 66-74 dam, 1.3 speed, 7 int, 2h/s

I'm tending towards the Ezeria's Ice Blast Staff as it has better dam, but should I use the Icebolt Staff of Mastery purely because it's pink, or doesn't that mean much at the end of the day...?

Thanks in advance.

I believed I used the ezeria's ice blast staff but that is only because I didn't have a better alternative. The extra damage is nice but at your level it isn't going to help much in getting through levels. What will help, IMO at least, is the 2 h/s on the icebolt staff.

Ezeria, it is missing thee H/S and a little extra int, but it adds DPS, and crit! I would defiantly go with it! BTW, what is your H/S without the staff? Just curious...

EDIT: What is your class? Your spec is obviously Int, but what about your class? If you are an Int bear, I would probably go with the Of Mastery! ;)

OK, interesting to know. So my next question is "what does h/s?".

H/S is health regen, it is how fast your health reloads, M/S is mana regen, and effects how fast your mana loads, the higher the better/faster.

Ah, ok, thanks. Btw, is there any complete listing somewhere of what stats do/mean?

[Royce]

Test them both to see which one has AoE on target damage (I can't remember if that's bolt or blast) and use that one. 2 H/s for a Mage with the heal spell is nearly meaningless so don't let that be a deciding factor.

[Spiritualist]

Hmmm, OK, that's a different view.

AoE means?

Not that I know of, but the rest of them are pretty self explanatory that I know of. What else were you wondering?

Two things, what's AoE? Also, you don't know he is a mage ;) Well, I don't know for sure ;)

AoE is area of effect. One of those staffs will damage not only your target but also other enemies standing next to it. Good point Mystical, I assumed mage (and maybe I think I remember from a new players thread...). Anyway if you're an Int bear or bird go with the H/s.

Oh, like Ra! Thanks ;)

Don't forget the Icebolt Staff of the Owl. It has the same stats as Ezeria's plus 1 H/s and 1 more Int. It might get you the best of both worlds.

Yeah the Owl purples are actually better than the Mastery pinks (the worst pinks out there really for any class). There's also:
Dreamer's Ice Blast Staff
Dreamer's Icebolt Staff
(get one of these if you can, each has 2 M/s, and 3 H/s)
Ice Blast Staff of the Owl
There is of course also an Ice Blast Staff of Mastery, and a bunch of lesser versions. Also near that level is the level 29 Dreamers Bone Staff. And there are also Albert purple versions, but they are not as good as many greens.

[KingFu]

I can probably donate you an Ice Blast Staff of the Owl, I believe I still have one. Also, is Dreamer's Ice bolt, or Ice blast better?

[Royce]

Ice Blast do better damage, and other stats are identical. If Ice Blast is also the AoE one, then it is clearly better, if not then it's arguable...

[Snakespeare]

Oh!!! I will look for that Ice BLAST staff... sounds cool!
