I haven't gotten the staff yet, just have to actually collect the venom. I have to look at it more closely-and get praetors guard, a bit better than necro orb, unless you don't have power regen in your group when raiding.

not having much luck with the venom, my dice suck. i guess when i finaly go in with a group where everyone has already got it i cant lose lol

They did nerf the staff, but it is STILL a good weapon, imho. If you raid with a warlock in your group, you're set, you should still do well, due to propagation.

you should use the staff with your necromancer orb, until you have a praetors guard and then use Soulfire/wand of dark chosen with necro orb and praetors.

staff is nice though its like 4%-6% of my dps sometimes zw

From what I've seen/tried, the staff of the impaler can be soooo random in damage. Without any proc modifying spells it does less damage then soulfire+blood of the broodwatcher, with proc mods it can do more and can do less.

I can't decide what to use, staff of the impaler or soulfire/broodwatcher, heh. Someone enlighten me? :P

After the nerfs with warlock the staff says over 2.0 times (like 2.3) but im seeing it proc about 5 times on maybe a 10minute fight, I'm about to switch it out when I can get a Praetors guard ( still hasnt dropped ), or maybe contested mayongs orb.
