Voodoo staff V.S Voodoo doll. What is best.

[Captian Quelzar]

Just tell me in your opinion what is better and why, the staff or the doll.

i think the doll is versus the staff. the doll u just click and run and heal ur self by sucking the life out of ppl. the staff u kill ppl by hurting urself. that ain't right

[greatertater]

Good question. I think the staff is the best weapon in the game but the doll is a very close second. I like the doll because of the healing facets while it is still a weapon but the staff is much more explosive and quicker. I don't c how u kill ppl by hurting urself unless u use the desolation which is good for one point at the very best bcause its only use is the "awe" factor.

Just my opinion. The best thing about both of them and my third favorite weapon, the cutlass, is you never have to purchase ammo.

i think the doll is..
you can kill and heal with it..


idk, i'm just a healer

I don't think of either weapon as particularly "piratey." But then, they have a (not-very-piratey) short sword also in the game, under the moniker "dagger." There are also "grenades" which don't have any historic excuse for being in the game at all. The undead themselves, don't exist outside of the game and the movies...pretty weird. Accepting those lapses...

Staff or doll? Staff has wither - pretty fantastic for gameplay. Wither (*) and sweep (cutlass) are the only magical attacks that get every enemy nearby. (Attempting that sort of a sweep with a real cutlass is a ******* move that only annoys attackers, by the way.) On the other hand, the voodoo doll has life-drain - also pretty fantastic for gameplay.

Wither has saved my pirate much more often than life-drain. But every time wither did fall short, it was always life-drain that saved him a trip to jail. So, doll wins, overall. :-(

(*) Yes, I'm ignoring desolation. It is for show, only. And very, very silly.

In my personal opinion, i enjoy the staff only by a fraction better than the doll. This is due to the fact that:

1: The staff has the most powerful attacks in the game ( but only if you know where to put all of those points, like I put 5 skill points in flaming skull, which is now my favorite attack)
2: You can't be called cheap if you use the staff in PvP, unlike the doll.
3: There is a skill on the staff that not only increases staff power, but doll power too.
4: With the doll, you have to run up to an enemy about a few levels higher than you, which will give it enough time in order for it to land a few attacks on you (which might end up fatal).
With the staff, you can attack your enemy from a distance with great force behind the spells, which could give you an advantage over your enemy.

Hmmmm...not sure. Staff is really powerful but the doll has life drain. If i had to have only one i think i'd say doll because of the health you get from life drain. Staff is great also though.

I guess i like the doll better since you can heal people and youself if you have life drain

[Lisa Heartbreaker]

Sorry, I am new to POTCO, but from the previous posts, I have deduced that you can only have, either a staff, or a doll, and not both. Am I understanding this correctly?

The staff is more powerful but the doll has life drain and you can heal people. Hmm.. i cant decide lol.

[Bonnylass64]

I really like the staff, it can do some serious damage. And I love that
But I kind of miss using iny voodoo doll. I had such fun with that. Running up to the enemy and then running around in circles while they chased me, then other soldiers would join in, and yea, that was loads of fun But since I have mastered the doll I don't use it. No more rep.

[Pirate Luke]

I don't have the staff yet, but I'm liking the doll a lot! It's pretty awesome.

Don't worry, you can have both Doll you unlock at level 5, and staff you unlock at level 30.

[Tuefenhandel]

It's all but impossible to get to level 30 and earn your staff without having a very good doll.

And, all the buffs for the staff make the doll more effective, efficient, and faster.

So, they are more like two halves of the same coin....... if you want to wax all philosophical like.
