Foxparks vs Sanguine Staff
The verdict
With crit factored in, Foxparks puts out 83.2 DPS against 60.7 for Sanguine Staff — about 37% more damage per second. Base hits are Foxparks 20 vs Sanguine Staff 35, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Foxparks swings faster at a 15-tick use time versus 36, 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 Summon weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
