Out of the two I am trying to learn on what would actually be better (I'll tip for good response buying FG shortly)

I don't play the game but it sure looks like rift goad is a lot better. Pillar of the caged god seems good for a lower level since there is no level requirement.

Much higher damage and faster attack speed, plus I'd assume +3 melee skills is a good buff.

If you have 110 strength, the bonus damage on the Pillar will make the physical damage equivalent to Rift. However, rift does lightning damage which can shock giving potentially more damage from crits. I'd say you'd need like 200 strength for it to be worth using Pillar.

Additionally, Rift is fast with 1.72 attacks per second. You'd need around 100 dex to increase the speed of Pillar to match it. Finally, AOE stat is useless if you're not using an aoe melee skill or if you're not specced into int.

Use Rift

unless u socket pillar with 2 lightning dmg runes, and stacking str
rift is much better

It's for completely different builds. You will use pillar for attribute stackers (ideally when stacking all 3 attributes) with hand of wisdom and action gloves and attributes on all gear. Otherwise you should use some rare quarterstaff (ideally phys - +3 lvls is good but not enough by itself and you need to get flat damage somewhere to scale further)
