Question:
Who can really use it?

Im thinking maybe these chars;

Summon necro?
Fire trap assa / trap assa?
Summon druid?
Fire druid?
Ele druid?

Fire trap assa tested without Anni/torch/skiller p1-p3 easy

Really any caster can use it for simple pvm purposes, but for the most part every class will have better options that are obtained just as easily. If you can get the 3 prices early on before hrs are obtainable then it’s a fine p1 mf setup for a non-sorc in areas the teleport helps(chaos, meph, Andy etc)

Main point is just throw the staff on switch and dual wield spirits and you’re pretty much always better off

Well hc ladder start I cant put 100-110points to str (monarch spirit)
Almost same res? 50@ fire too
More vitality? 100vita (no Need 156str for monarch) dual spirit gives 44vita.
Less str more vita so with naj you get more hard points vita lets say
60points= 120life + 12% max life

I know what dual spirit gives but I dont asked that (see topic)
This topic is naj set for. Spirits dont give mf at all

I think the biggest thing is the lack of fcr in the naj build. 30 fcr from weapon/shield slot, armor and helm is tough on just about any caster. Maybe a fire trap assassin but then you’re lacking ias for trap laying speed.

By the time you’re able to acquire all 3 pieces(the staff isn’t exactly common), you’d probably be able to acquire:

Spirit sword
Mosers, rhyme, lidless, spirit monarch
Viper, skullders or Naj armor itself
Lore/tarnhelm/peasant crown maybe even shako or the real goal would be to get a flickering flame if you’re looking at a fire build


Some combination of these items is going to give you a much more versatile build especially considering how important each +skill point is early ladder when you don’t have torch anni skillers etc.


Idea for you if you want to utilize it is to put the staff on switch for teleport, wear the armor full time and when killing bosses you can swap to the staff for the mf bonus you get with 2 set pieces.
