I don't like the time on it wish that was made a bit shorter. I have used it quite effectively though as the first post stated. Hit like a 30+ crew with fire, then desolation. At the point desolation goes off health is already down to something like 1/8 left, so the drain is minimal, wiping everything out.

Have as well used it and immedietly switched to doll and life drain something to get health back.

Thumbs up

Aint exactly that useless.I used it and took out 3 raiders in 1 shot(25% damage and maxed it).Sure, it may hurt you badly, but it still does a good job.Granted, its better to use flaming skull. Cause flaming skull has almost the same range as whither, and can be shot far across.But thats just me.

Complete uselessness? No, it looks neat, it 'does' do damage against enemies.

Effectiveness in battle? Near a zero rating, it takes too long to charge, and seldom actually kills any enemies (usually takes them down a percentage of thier health, along with yours). Sure you may have made it work for you, but you chose one of the least efficient ways to achieve your goal, killing 3 raiders. Flaming skull would work in this case alot faster/easier.

The length of time it takes to charge really DOES make it useless in battle.

If "I" put 5 points on this matey, id be bribing POTCO to put reassignment on live, because id consider my pirate's staff points really messed up.

With a comment like that Zeppers... well, it becomes obvious you didn't put more than a point in it. The skill is sort of like Life Drain in one way: putting points in it maximizes effectiveness alot more than for other skills: for one, since the base damage is high, it effectively boosts effectively the effective damage the passive damage boost boosts, and moreso than for any other skill. As well, the damage you take is set in stone: hence, a point extra only increases what enemies take.
