Talk:Nimbus Rod

Sentry Minion?
Sorry, but i wonder if this one should not be classed as sentry minion. For me, it is more akin spider quen and things like that, than standard magic weapon.90.29.215.99 17:59, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, it doesn't do summon damage and doesn't benefit from any damage bonus. This is why it's not been reclassified or anything.

How long does it last?
As with the Crimson rod: I don't see any mention of duration, and I know it does expire. Is it the same 2 minutes as sentries? --MentalMouse42 (talk) 13:07, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * "Upon reaching its destination or colliding with a solid block, the cloud stops and begins emitting rain particles downward for one full minute." Note that Crimson Rod page doesn't mention this. Bame66 (talk) 17:36, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Why does it say "Demonic or Deadly" as best modifier when Demonic is definitely better than Deadly?
Pretty much the question. Demonic has 15% damage and 5% crit (which is useless here), while Deadly has only 10% damage with 10% speed (which I assume is useless here). It would seem that just Demonic is the best for damage. What am I missing here?
 * The Nimbus Rod can deal critical hits, so the crit bonus does indeed help. I don't know if speed affects the drops. --MentalMouse42 (talk) 15:35, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
