How good is this item in actual fact? https://wiki.project1999.com/Shissar_Focus_Staff

The 16 second cast time seems like it makes it fairly limited in use at first glance. But seeing as there are many situations where a charm break necessitates mezzing all mobs in play you would - in theory - have enough time to click the stick and never have to spend mana on charming (up to lvl 49 stuff).

It's fun but not terribly useful. It saves you some mana on recharms relative to casting a charm and medding a couple ticks, when you're charming stuff under 50, which can be pretty often if you're tooling around in seb or something.

The most fun I ever had with one was reverse-charming to powerlevel. Give something buff with a lot of hp weapons and haste and keep it rooted, then clicky charm stuff and throw it at it until it's low, break with ring, let PLee finish off that mob as it flees while you go get another. Was pretty entertaining to do with 30s-40s characters.
