Mercurial Pole  

Ill clarify a few things. This staff does indeed do 100-200 Spirit takers (on my smn) to T mobs.

Spirit takers drop to about 60-80 on anything above T

Retribution does 300-400 on mobs up to T and 100-200 on anything above T.

"Occasionally" is really "90% of the time" 1 hit is rare.

A friend of mine has a kraken, Merc Pole + Kraken can make darkness skillchain and 2 SMN's can MB it duo. Lots of fun.

i have M.pole, so i want to clear a few things up.
Btw i'm on Ramuh server,Taru M. 75 Mnk,Rdm,Thf silentwinds Ls (got pole with them about 2 months ago). Any ways after geting this pole, i started skilling up with it on mnk, cause my staff skill was only 50ish, in 2 days i had it over 200, now its 240ish. Well i know alot of you said that it sucks with ws and such but let me list some things iv experienced, i use this thing alot, because its fun. Any ways, lets start with Ws, Spirit taker usely does 60-90 dmg on IT mobs at LV 75 on my Mnk, WITH 300tp the dmg BARELy changes so i can just spam 100 tp.If your not fighting It then with 100+tp you can do around 160-220+dmg souleater with this, its alot of mp smners could keep their pets out all day with it.Its fun to sub /drk,whm,rdm and have unlimted mp and help cure/dd, and with /drk sub stuning and Souleater with 100fist does some dmg and kills u really quick but its really fun, Durning ballista this thing with 100 fist or w/o will kill someone in about 20seconds, well any ways the Elemental ws do about 500 dmg with 300tp with this thing, but i really like the unlimted Mp, its very nice to get 100mp instantly every 10-20 seconds, summoners would own with this thing, right now i'm currently lving Drg.. its around 50, but i'm excited at seeing how supportive i can be as a drg/mage, and its going to be fun spaming breaths from my wyvern, you might not know but jump, with this pole will give you 20-40 tp in one jump, so you get tp fast as hell as drg and can spam ele breaths, and i know jump does that from doing mnk/drg in ballista. This thing is worth having, its a fun item, its very nice replacement for a kraken club, even though K.clubs insane, this is free, and with souleater you can do some dmg if a whm will cure you, you could probably do close to 5k+ dmg easily with it on.

im more impressed by the MP bonus

its so weak and attacks 2-4 times.... skillup? i see the mp boost but why would a mnk use.

My ls got this drop today ^^ gave it to a blm.

I dont get it,why do people think this is a polearm,it clearly states that it's a staff.

hehe what a random post.

This is a good skill-up weapon, as is a Kraken Club. There are three reasons to use the two weapons: skill up, fast TP, and to show off. It's not made to deal damage. ^^

4 base-damage weapon for mages?
will you be able to do damage to high lvl high def mobs at all?

This weapon would be great with Spirit Taker (staff 215 WS- converts damage dealt to own mp).

it says Weapon Skill: Staff so i dont think u will be doing penta thrust =)

Little mistake made here.
It's not a polearm, but a battle staff.

"Occasionally attacks 2-4 times"

So is this another Kraken Club type of weapon? I wonder how often "occasionally" is for it. Kraken club "occasionally" attacks 2-8 times, which seems to occur every other split second.

Um...Polearm for black mage?
