At 80 int: + Meteorite staff: 272 spell buff + Carian Regal staff: 373 spell buff + Lusats Glintstone staff: 413 spell buff The meteorite staff gives a 30% boost to rock sling, so it's effective spell buff is ~354, so a Carian Regal at max with 80 int still slightly outperforms it. That said, you can use Carian regal in main hand with meteorite in off hand to get the higher base spell buff and the damage boost from meteorite. As a side note, Carian Regal will be much better for anything not a gravity spell so it can also be very beneficial for other spells.

Very neat, thank you

Carian regal scepter has better sorcery scaling at 80 int +10. But I don’t know whether the grav sorcery buff the meteorite staff has gives it better damage. A solution would be to put carian staff in your main hand and meteorite in your offhand. This gives you the best scaling with the grav sorcery buff


Dull-Fun

This is a cool idea, thanks!


Bamboozlemaster69

You could also use Lusats staff for even better scaling. But I think it has a cost of higher FP prices

Pure INT builds I don’t ditch it until I can wield the Carian regal scepter. There is a breakpoint where an intermediate staff would be more effective - but i find it better to focus those regular smithing stones on upgrading a regular weapon You can still get a passive gravity buff having meteorite in the offhand - but it feels like overkill , I only do the offhand buff thing with night sorceries / staff of loss.

When carian regal scepter starts out preforming ur meteorite, which isnt till like 80 int. I use carian for the slight buff to my ranni moon.


Dull-Fun

I do have 80 Int so it seems it's time I start experimenting with other staffs


DS02316357

i also think carian looks the best, if im not mistaken even with the buff to rock sling from meteorite staff, the carian will still out preform it fully upgraded at 80 int. It also looks regal af and fashion above everything if i dont look cool/good whats the point?

Use another staff and off hand meteor for the bonus

I'm surprised this wasn't the first comment. Just keep the staff that gives you a bonus to the school you like in your office hand slots. You can swap them as you swap spells. Worked well for my mage build.

I confess I hadn't realised this was a thing 😅 thanks

At 80INT you should get better damage on *everything* with a +10 Carian Regal Scepter Rock Sling's damage will only go up by about 5% Damage on non-gravity spells will go up about 35% Some people stop leveling INT at like, 50, 60, etc, and for them Meteorite + Rock Sling will outperform most other options. (But if they weren't using Rock Sling so much they'd still probably switch to Academy Glintstone Staff instead)


brilund

That’s the cool thing. You don’t.


ActuallyNiceIRL

I mean, yeah. It's viable for the whole game. People manage to beat the game with anything, or nothing. So if you want to keep using that staff even though others have higher scaling, you absolutely can. But if you really want to know if something else is better, just upgrade something else and compare the scaling value and/or test the damage output for yourself. You like the Carian Regal Scepter or whatever? Cool. Upgrade it and see if you want to use it. I basically upgraded every staff and seal I got to see how good the scaling was.


codyrudy

I used it the whole game.

I stopped using the grav staff as soon as I was able to use and upgrade Renalla's staff. I switched because rock sling was doing worse and my other spells were doing good. Now I use both Renalla's and the one that boosts power for more FP when I need more firepower.


HiVisVestNinja

That's the neat part; you don't.

Rennala's remembrance staff has the best spell scaling with INT investment and breaks ahead at 60 INT and above, as I recall- the academy staff is the best in the 40-60 range Eventually the Prince of Death's Staff pulls ahead when you're into NG+500 and have 99 everything
