When should I stop using meteor staff?

[god devouring serpent]

It's S tier in int scaling but it can't be upgraded. Is it better to just go with a different upgraded staff?

[Kerrack]

Never.
It's pretty much straight-up the best staff in the game.
IIRC even at full upgrade level, the other staves don't end up with S scaling.

If you upgrade a staff in the background, then the moment it has higher spell scaling, you dump the Meteor staff forever. I think a typical staff at around 50% upgrade will start to outclass it

I feel like my magic damage is lacking but my int is 60. I'm level 115

Once you can upgrade some staffs to +7, they are better than the meteor staff. Other staffs end up with S scaling and much higher damage. Meteor staff is really good for a while though.

Yeah nah, other staves outclass it when they get to +7, stat scaling isn't everything, Sorcery Scaling is much more relevant in the end.

Depends how relient you are on gravity spells. I stopped using it once I had enough int to use raya's staff at max level. Its hands down the best staff until wayyy end game.

no. I've been using Rennala's staff and not only is it's spell scaling higher, it has higher scaling (still S, but shown Blue in comparision). also scaling is based on the base stats, the mediocre spell scaling on the meteor staff will get outclassed. even by staffs with "worse" scaling.

Huh.
I could'a sworn they still ended up with worse scaling than the MS.
Good to know.

at 60 int you should upgrade the carion royal stave, it gets up to s scaling at about level 5 i think

lusat staff get S scaling too and will be way better than the meteorite staff at the end but it make every spell cost 50% more

the prince of death staff scale with both faith and int and at 70/70 max upgrade will be the best staff in the game

also soft cap for damage scaling is around 80 , so as a mage unless you want a fix lv for pvp or stuff like that go all the way up 99 int for damage

That is incorrect.
The best staffs in the game are
Azur's
Carian Regal Scepter
and
Lusat's

Meteorite staff is better then all staffs till around +7 for unique staffs and +17-18 for normal staffs

as a mage once you get 80 int, i would say you should start pumping up your faith for the prince of death staff

Meteor staff is way too powerful imo. It's like Drake Sword on steroids Makes every other staff feel useless for like 75% of the game.

yeah, the biggest merit of the Meteor staff is that it effectively comes half upgraded, so when you don't have other staffs leveled it's super good.

Can’t wait till I need to go get those when I reach that point.
