Talk:Raconteur's Staff/@comment-99.226.82.131-20120704191815/@comment-5249702-20120705125742

Even though it's cheap in terms of the price, the canticle is much better in comparison to the raconteur thanks to the 150% dmg + heal increase, and you don't need to grind 45 levels of survivial mode to get your hands on it. Even the occasional crits of the Raconteur can't out dmg the Canticle.

Canticle's lower base dmg + 150% > Raconteur's higher base dmg + 35% + 30% Crit

Canticle is the one and only consistent staff for casters.
