Gravity magic at 36 INT, Which staff?

[Sono]

I know meteorite has a passive boost but I assume other staffs outdo it once you hit the 30's for int, and upgrade one of the higher req staffs (looking mostly at academy glintstone staff)?

Im going for 28 strength and the Meteorite Staff does have a D for str scaling, though i dont know if that would affect damage or not for the gravity spells physical damage?

You get the damage bonus just by equipping the item. You don't have to cast the spell with it.

Cast your gravity spells with Demi-Human Queen's Staff and hold Meteorite Staff in your other hand for the damage bonus.

Are you familiar with this site? I didn't know about it when I was leveling up. Instead, I kept all of my staves upgraded at the same level, and my results were consistent with this site.

Even with fully upgraded staves (+10 / +25), the Meteorite Staff wins for Gravity Sorceries at 36 INT.

For non-Gravity Sorceries, Demi-Human Queen's Staff +13 (and higher) beats the Meteorite Staff at 36 INT. Below +13, the Meteorite Staff wins.

The Academy Glintstone Staff beats the Meteorite Staff at +14 and higher for 36 INT for non-gravity sorceries.

Regarding the D for strength scaling, that's just for melee damage. Strength does not affect the sorcery scaling on any staff.

I did not, I'll have to play with that thank you, especially for messing around on my faith character as well.

That is very helpful info, thanks!

You're welcome. And definitely check my results. I was typing half-asleep, so I might have clicked something incorrectly.

And as Jouni mentioned, I spent most of my Astrologer Sorceries playthrough double-staffed. It's pretty cool.
