Steps to reproduce:

Any additional information: Did some decent sized sample size comparisons of Blurred Staff vs. Keraunos vs. Ngqoqwanb in Dangruf Wadi with a whole bunch of different tier nukes (used same spell and same type of mob). Also did comparisons of no staff vs. having Blurred Staff equipped. I think the only thing that works on the Blurred Staff is the INT and MND stat. I first noticed the poor magic damage while looking back over my logs against various VNMs in different zones. I saw one of my mages (the only one without a Blurred Staff consistently doing WAY more damage despite the other mages having WAY better gear, stats, etc. (the other mages have Blurred Staffs). On one of the tests I did just a plain old Tier 1 nuke of Blurred Staff vs. Ngqoqwanb. There's no way a Ngqoqwanb does about triple damage than a Blurred Staff. Below are notes I made while performing these tests:

Pellegrino consistently outnukes all my other BLMs despite my other BLMs having a lot more INT and MAB, etc. I assume Blurred Staff isn't working properly.

Pellegrino vs. Fume Lizard with Blurred Staff. Fire 385 dmg Blizzard 414 dmg

Pellegrino vs. same Fume Lizard with Ngqoqwanb. Fire 1173 dmg Blizzard 1350 dmg Fire 1173 dmg again

Lexis- Blurred Staff vs. Keraunos vs. Ngqoqwanb

Iceday Keraunos Fire 1198 dmg Blizzard 1380 dmg Aero 1260 dmg Stone 1154 dmg Thunder 1269 dmg

Iceday Ngqoqwanb (diff lizard) Fire 1532 dmg Blizzard 1751 dmg Aero 1587 dmg Stone 1474 dmg

Iceday Blurred staff (diff lizard) Fire 556 dmg Blizzard 627 dmg Aero 485 dmg Stone 512 dmg Thunder 605 dmg Water 526 dmg etc.

Lightningday Keraunos Blizzard V 6529 dmg Fire V 5899 dmg

Lightningday Ngqoqwob Blizzard V 7944 dmg Fire V 7694 dmg

Lightningday Blurred Staff Blizzard V 5483 dmg Fire V 5256 dmg

Lightningday Keraunos (enemy Natty Gibbon) Fire V 6363 dmg

Lightningday Ngqoq Fire V 7798 dmg

Decided on Misshoney to do a (no Blurred Staff and no Benthos Grip vs. Blurred Staff and Benthos Grip

No Staff and no grip (Fume Lizard) Fire 394 dmg

With Blurred Staff and Benthos Grip Fire 449 dmg

Tested Blurred Staff vs. Ice Staff on Misswebb. Blurred Staff barely did better than the Ice Staff on T1 nukes and T4 nukes lol.

Final analysis: Blurred staff isn't coded correctly or else there are hidden effects with Keraunos and Ngqoqwob. Ngqoqwob consistently beats out the other staffs. Keraunos comes in a fairly close 2nd.

On quick glance, the Blurred Staff and the Keraunos look to have the correct modifiers but the Ngqoqwob looks to have WAY TOO much MAB. I'll look into this further later on my computer and confer with Heep/Immo about it. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @Cheezdawgy.

I've looked into this issue while I was leveling my blm too some time ago. Venabulum has too much MAB. Keraunos seems to add pet's MAB to the player.

[EpicTaru]

Venabulum has more custom MAB on purpose because of what it takes to obtain it here.

Issue has been resolved for future update.
