This staff was made with only one goal in mind: to cause great pain.

The Tormentor

This staff gives your hits a chance to charm enemies: a charmed foe temporarily fights on your side and turns on its former allies. That not only grants you an extra combatant but also sows chaos in the enemy ranks.

Since the effect simply triggers on hitting, the staff suits heroes who attack often and across areas, such as channeling or rapid-firing spell builds. Every charmed enemy is one fewer foe attacking you and, at the same time, extra damage against the rest of the pack. My tip: use the staff in situations with many enemies, because the denser the crowd, the more valuable each turned combatant becomes for your control over the fight.

What the description leaves open

The power gives no number: the staff charms enemies "sometimes" when you hit them. There is no roll range and no class restriction; every copy works the same. So you can neither improve the trigger with a better roll nor plan it precisely. More hits simply mean more opportunities - if you hit many enemies at once, you will see a charm more often than someone attacking single targets one after another.

The staff's stats

Every copy carries +1,177–1,439 to 1,410–1,788 Arcane Damage. It also rolls a main stat at 946 to 1125 points, either Intelligence or Dexterity - so check whether it matches your class before you keep it. The staff attacks at 1.00 per second and, as a two-handed weapon, takes up both hands. A Primal Ancient reaches the maximum on every stat, and the Mystic can reroll one property.

A staff made for pain

The flavor text leaves no doubt about its maker's intent: the staff was made with only one goal in mind, to cause great pain. Getting enemies to turn on their own allies is a rather devious way of achieving it.
