Arcane Staff

Arcane Staff is a tier 3 Summoning talent that boosts minion damage based on the player’s magic damage increase. At rank values in the talent’s scaling range, it raises minion damage by 10–50% of the player’s magic damage increase, making it a direct way to convert magic-focused builds into stronger summoned allies.

Its value is tied to how much magic damage the player has already stacked. The more magic damage increase a build can reach, the more effective Arcane Staff becomes for summoners. This makes it especially relevant in setups that already invest heavily into magic-oriented gear, talents, or other bonuses that raise the player’s magic damage increase.

In practice, Arcane Staff rewards a hybrid approach where the player improves personal magic scaling to also strengthen minions. It does not appear to grant a flat minion bonus on its own; instead, its effect grows with the player’s existing magic damage increase, so its impact depends on the rest of the build.

• Best suited to Summoning builds that also invest in magic damage.
• Scales better the higher the player’s magic damage increase becomes.
• Improves minion damage indirectly rather than by adding a separate fixed buff.
