Basically dont use a staff on a Deathknight, use a normal 2 hander. On the lack of cc point though, medusa head in polymorph is a great source of cc for melee magic users.Īnyone who gets in melee range of you is instantly petrified, and you can launch a wider aoe version with it as well.

Which isn't a big deal, as you really only need like 2 points to get most skills, and 3 gets all but one.

As Tarshaid said, warfare will unlock abilities to use with the staff, but not affect its damage. Also, as pointed out by Novia, the warfare CC will still check physical armor no matter what, so you're going to manage enemy armor quite well if you want to CC anything. If you want to maximize the warfare damage with a staff that does scale with intelligenceyou're going to need to level the elemental school related to said staff. Strangely enough, the tooltip suggests warfare abilities used in this manner are still resisted by physical armour And let's just face it, it's a solid choice no matter your build type is. Just tested it, it most certainly does scale with intelligence, but the damage inflicted by the staff from warfare abilities is elemental dependant on the staff instead of straight up physical, meaning its not gaining the full benefits of warfare's boost, unless I missed something, not a pro opinion here. The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic. The author of this topic has marked a post as the answer to their question. I was hoping to find a way to maximise damage output from my warfare skills, using necromancer mainly for healing from the damage I deal and maybe go for Crit Damage too. Anyone know what truth there is to this? I was considering a necromancer build with around points in necromancer, full warfare and not sure yet about the rest. I read somewhere that while wielding a Staff, Warfare abilities scale with Intelligence. Home Discussions Workshop Market Broadcasts.
