PC on nice seeming fire staff

(Gold) Insightful Fire Staff of Fortitude
Energy +10
Fire dmg 10-20
Energy +3
Health +29

I'm pretty sure thats it. I'm at work right now on a Mac so I can't very well check. anyway it seems pretty nice.

its not max damage, which hurts...i say try and salvage the health +29

I figured someone would say that. Can you explain to me this fetish with max damage and perfect upgrades? it seems like having the extra 8 HP jacks up the price a good 35k and the extra in this case 2 damage jacks up the price even further, it just doesn't seem worth it. Like diminishing returns only the opposite(paying more to get the same amount as opposed to paying the same to get less), to borrow something from high school economics. At any rate I'm going to stick with it especially since I don't use it to attack hardly at all.

well if someone has a better firestaff then they want the better mod on the better staff rather than a decent mod on a mediocre staff.
