Here are some reviews on the new staff's proc:
-it procs quite infrequently, and seems to only procs when it hits an enemy. I tried hitting the air for ages and still it didnt proc
-The crystal automatically attacks nearby enemies, range is a little further than the normal staff attack. Only attacks 1 mob, and when the missile touches the mob, it explodes doing AOE damage to a very small area around the target
-It shoots total 10 times, about 1 sec delay per shot.
-The damage calculation seems to be quite complex:
+Regardless of your damage on stat page, it does the same damage
+The damage differs on different enemies. For example in wilds (tindirin) one hit does constant 225-240 damage, but in windmore harbor (kraken isle) it does only 195-196 damage, same 195-196 damage for nordr. In brackenridge it doesnt 1 hit kill a normal mob, I couldnt see the damage, but each hit takes away just 1/5 hp of the mob. I dont know if it scales to level, or to the map we are in. I havent done any elites with this staff yet.
-When it procs it knocks away enemies nearby. When it shoot it makes purple pulses and knocks enemies away from it.
-believe it or not if no enemy is around it shoots ground environments or items lol.
here are some screenshots
the pic below shows it was shooting the health pack. the missile flies to the pack and explode, if it shoots the air it doesnt explode. Ive seen it shooting ice patches in nordr too lol.
