Amethyst Staff vs Topaz Staff
The verdict
With crit factored in, Topaz Staff puts out 27.7 DPS against 25.3 for Amethyst Staff — about 10% more damage per second. Base hits are Amethyst Staff 15 vs Topaz Staff 16, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Topaz Staff swings faster at a 36-tick use time versus 37, so it lands on-hit debuffs like ichor, procs set bonuses, and reapplies knockback more often — an edge the flat DPS figure understates.

Both are Magic weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
