Amazing?

Yeah. They replace the Jaffar Poisoning/savage blow build, but have healing utility as well, and the ability to upgrade to an uncounterable weapon. Definitely much more viable now. Not great still, but workable.

It's definitely great, especially since you can add Wrathful Staff to any of the healer's staff to inflict even more damage.

I like my Bridal Lyn a bit more now.

Just gotta be careful, cause that can easily drop enemies into their Vantage Range. On the upside, the effect damage doesn't help charge their specials.
