Can this do more damage than the staff of wisdom?

Does the human boost make it better then the staff of wisdom when infused with magic?

Nope! I fully upgraded both staffs and infused both with magic. Wisdom does slightly better damage.

does the damage modifier only apply to this staff? it can't be used as an off hand weapon?

Doesnt affect other staves when in the offhanf. Just tested on the Amana priestesses, dark orb deals 435 damage both times wiwth a witchtree+10 dark infused(once with the staff of amana in the offhand, once not, of course tested in human form). Same for soul spear, dealt 453 damage both times(stats are int 48 and faith 40 at ng)

35 INT requirements and regular titanite upgrades makes this staff worth using instead of the staff of wisdom since it does slightly less damage. plus its very slightly faster than the staff of wisdom (Staff of Wisdom 110 casting speed) (Staff of Amana 100 casting speed) but being an end game weapon plus the rarity makes this a difficult choice.

rarity and end game shouldn't be factors when deciding which is the best staff.

at +8 and 51 int it has -104 magic scaling, minus 104. i cannot even comprehend as to why it goes negative at 1
6 intelligence more than using it requires

Is this better or worse than the Witchtree branch, and why?

I'd like my caster build to have something classier than a big twisty stick.

damage-wise, i think that this staff is better than the witchtree branch, but the witchtree branch has the highest casting speed so i would combine it with lion mage armor

"Boosts damage of spells while human." Any other item has a similar effect?
