[Pillow Armadillo]

I did the Crookstinger -> Stiletto of the Bloodclaw @18 -> Staff of Writhing at 28/29 (cant remember when it procs).

Picked up a Staff of Undead Legions in my 40s for around 2k plat but Ive only ever used it in Lower Guk (amazing) and HS (rarely taking hits while I xp, doing more charming 52+)

I liked the piercers because it opens up some more variety later on, and maybe will be useful with like a Boneshear or something late game.

Embalmers skinning knife is nice too, I'd recommend bind wound occasionally in case you ever find yourself in a low mana/HP situation and want to save some downtime.
