Notes
- Each volley of pods consists of 5 pods, effectively multiplying the total damage by up to 5× the tooltip damage.
- The pods travel in a straight line, but are fired at random angles in a tight frontal cone. This makes the staff function effectively as a shotgun, being equally proficient at close range or against groups of enemies due to the poison cloud explosions.
- The pods themselves do not pierce enemies, but the resulting poison clouds do pierce.
