Will this lose durability?

Orbs do not, but not sure about 2 handed weapons

It will not lose durability unless you melee with it

Juse use non-eth one

LiiMule is right. It won’t lose durability. And we prolly wanna use ethereal just cause itll require 10 less strength and dex. Plus, the style…..!

I’m about to make this character on hc single player. I kinda wanna make a cta in a +3 energy shield war staff. This might be tricky to find.

People like using eth for whatever reason, maybe looks, but it will not lose durability unless you melee attack with it.

I would use a non-eth scythe so you can use the cyclone armor charges on it if you want and repair the charges for continued use.
