About: Those novices who pass through the Rites of Initiation with quiet, stoic hopelessness demonstrate their kinship with Tausil, the Forsaken One. These initiates endure endless, repetitive drills at the Training Grounds, repeat interminable chants of droning monotones, and maintain ceaseless and solitary vigils over the Tree of Corruption. From existence, they gradually learn to accept emptiness as the sole truth among the distractions of life.
In combat, the Staff Adept moves quietly, with little apparent interest in his surroundings. Yet the emptiness of his soul gives him a painful awareness of - and loathing for - those who disturb his inner silence. He is utterly fearless, and is more than able to engage multiple opponents with the emotionless, technically perfect spins and flourishes of his staff. For such a frail-seeming opponent, the Staff Adept finds pain surprisingly irrelevant.
Usage: I quickly produce about 3-4 of them right at the beginning of the game. They are damn good defenders and can stop any initial rushes, as their Whirling Staff makes it easier to defend against multiple units. However, once down the tech tree, they becone Tier 2 units for my Second Chance. I do use them, after Second Chance, but only one or two of them, for their BG.
Their BG is probably one of the best around, and can make that difference between loss and victory in Warlock battles and Tower sieges.
