Holy cow, that staff is pretty badass. (I think I also took the staff on that quest because nothing was relevant to my interests and it was worth the most money, but I didn't check what it looked like before I vendored it.) I am also totally into the staff my baby worgen got in her starting area. Between that staff and the top hat, she looks like she escaped from a Guns'n'Roses video.

Also: INORITE? I went from 19k health to 30k health in the space of a level. (I do have a tanking belt on, but it had so much strength on it I had to.)
