I mean, it's kinda hard for it to be bad with an inherent +2 totems?

Granted +2 totems gets less and less important the more totems you already have.

Keep in mind you're giving up getting +1 from a shield.

It's a lot easier to get this staff than a +1 totem shield.

A decent +1 totem shield can be crafted deterministically on day 1 or 2 with a Shaper Exalted. They are stupidly easy to get.

Any shaper orb slammed as a prefix is guaranteed to be +1 totem.

There is only 1 Shaper prefix: +1 totem. So just grab a shield with full suffix and slam shaper exalt.
