It used to be terrible bc of mana burn ES concerns but after 2.4 patch this item might finally shine as staff Energy Shield sorceress is finally fixed in PvM
The combination of -X% Enemy Fire Resistances and +5 to All Skills makes this a decent choice for a Fire Druid, which cannot obtain a higher bonus to all skills with any combination of weapon and shield. The only superior option in terms of +X to Elemental Skills, Earth Shifter, lacks -X% to Enemy Fire Resistances.
Unfortunately, a complete lack of defensive attributes means this staff will nevertheless lag behind other options in most use cases.
This extremely rare staff is now actually a kind of BIS weapon for Energy ShieldNova Sorceress. The difference between self wield Infinity and this regarding - enemy lightning resistance is compensated by +5 to all skills (Merc wielding Infinity if wanted), and it actually offers flexibility with its 30 FCR and low requirements.
I got lucky to drop
This staff due to have TC 87. Unfortunally any staff that has level required higher than 54, at
Level 54 a sorceress can use Monarch shield, is useless. No staff will be better than Heart of the Oak with Spirit shield. Some low Level staffs can be good until a sorc wield a Monarch.
