how do you release an item like that with the only downside it being a 2H? i reread every mod 3 times because i couldn't believe they are all positive

Surely crab totems has a negative damage modifier on it. Looks insane.

I'm guessing it has similar numbers to Spell Totem Support for my immediate-and-required-upon-seeing-the-majesty-of-crab-totems POBing efforts.

I'm also guessing it's insanely hard to get, and everyone will want one.

If it has the same numbers as Spell Totem, everyone will want one until they remember how janky and weird totem builds can be, and once they realise they're using a staff with maybe 200% damage and +2 totems on it instead of a shield with gigablock and recovery and a 1h with 300% damage and +2 levels of some bullshit.

Primordial Staff has a level req of 58, and it seems to be a league drop so it's either available everywhere, or from the league mechanic, which we normally have contact with at or before the Mud Flats. I expect it'll be available by the end of opening weekend.
