AnonymousIs this better or worse than the Witchtree branch, and why?
I'd like my caster build to have something classier than a big twisty stick.

at +8 and 51 int it has -104 magic scaling, minus 104. i cannot even comprehend as to why it goes negative at 1
6 intelligence more than using it requires

35 INT requirements and regular titanite upgrades makes this staff worth using instead of the staff of wisdom since it does slightly less damage. plus its very slightly faster than the staff of wisdom (Staff of Wisdom 110 casting speed) (Staff of Amana 100 casting speed) but being an end game weapon plus the rarity makes this a difficult choice.

does the damage modifier only apply to this staff? it can't be used as an off hand weapon?

Nope! I fully upgraded both staffs and infused both with magic. Wisdom does slightly better damage.

Does the human boost make it better then the staff of wisdom when infused with magic?

"Boosts damage of spells while human." Any other item has a similar effect?
