    Typically staffs are not near as good as main hand/off hand, but in your case I'd roll with the staff. The vast difference in haste will make up for the SP you're losing.

    Using Abracadaver results in the following (EP values may be slightly off since I see you said you are Demo and I used values for affliction):
    +18 intel +7.56 EP
    -40 SP -71.6 EP
    -47 crit -39.29 EP
    +142 haste +279.74 EP
    -108 hit - you are already over what you need without this so no loss.


    Totals = +176.41 EP

    So yes, the staff is better because you don't need the hit at all it would still be better if you needed all the hit but only slightly.


    What do you think about the season 7 shaman set?
    It looks like what would happen if one of those big rock giants from Outlands mated with Spiderman.

    Re: deciding on 2 diff weps.

    The math is very simple:

    Subtract option one from option two, in all stats except Stam

    Abracadaver
    +109stam
    +128intel
    +774 Spell power (w/enchant and gems)
    142 haste (w/socket bonus)
    VS
    Current wep combo
    +110 stam
    +110 intel
    +814 SP (w/chant)
    +47 crit
    +54 haste

    Becomes

    Abracadaver
    +18 Int
    +88 Haste

    vs

    Current
    40 SP
    47 Crit


    In this case, the Staff wins because 88 Haste > 40 SP + 47 Crit for affliction. In the case of Demo, SP AND SPIRIT ALWAYS WINS. In the case of Destro, it's a tie.

    R.I.P. YARG
