Forgotten staff has been meta for quite a while now with Sorcerer and now it’s gotten a really big buff with the addition of the Silkweaver T1 perk making it a near meta for all classes now, just even more so for Sorcerers now.
Let me explain why the Forgotten staff, a weapon easily obtainable via the post community day events economy and also obtainable easily from grinding out Possum in The Pit, is just as good as Peppermint staff and Ankh (which are, and why is needs a heavy nerf in PvP.
PvP:
Forgotten Staff’s cooldown is way too small while it’s radius is ginormous in PvP causing it to be a spammable target locking carpet bomber meaning player’s should just accept their death once hit by it when they are the only ones within the “targeting radius”, even more so when combined with Silkweaver T1.
PvE Sorc:
Forgotten Staff has a crucial role in many sorcerer’s ability rotations due to the fact it has a low cooldown so it can easily fit within the rotation while still keeping good enough if not better damage compared to other options for proccing lingering magic. With the addition of the silkweaver set, it’s even given non-crit chance driven sorcerers a low cost option to gain a lot of damage for a low cost.
