As a secondary sweapon for the Faerie Ninja to complement the CoC, rod of spirtes is highly regarded as the best for the off-hand.

Rod of Sprites: 6-18 +2To/hit +5ini 50% hex

Winterwand: 4-8 +1To/hit +5 ini 15% Paralyse

I recently found the Rod of Sprites, but what was surprsing was that when I switched to it I actually saw a decrease in the FN's performance as oppose to winterwand.

Damage wise...the rod beats winterwand...obviously.

But I am finding that 15% paralyse is better than 50% hex.

To me paralyse and unconsious is the second best ailment besides instant death. once the monsters are paralysed, they are as good as dead.

The effect of hex is not really that noticeable in melee. It does however allow spells to suceed more often...but since a FN relies on melee for dmg...hexing one monster at a time is not that useful.

To me Hex is only useful if u hex a group of enemies with the spell and then follow with instant death or big damage spells. As a ailemtn on a weapon, hex is one of the more useless special property.
