But do what you want, just don't tell people it's slower when math says it's really 2-3x faster.
It was a long time ago when I used it, but I just remember thinking the lumi staff was awesome when I first got it, then after about 4-5 lvls or so, when I started doing higher lvl mobs, it wasn't nearly as awesome.

Nice to have when OOM, but far too slow of a process to kill entire quads with it once you are 52-53. I just think it wears out it's usefulness pretty quickly.

It's nice to have in the bag for later levels, clickies are always nice, but it's not nearly as great later on as it is when you can first use it at lvl 46.
