Killing Deck vs Topaz Staff
The verdict
With crit factored in, Killing Deck puts out 68.6 DPS against 27.7 for Topaz Staff — about 148% more damage per second. Base hits are Killing Deck 22 vs Topaz Staff 16, so the gap comes as much from attack speed and crit as from raw damage.
Killing Deck swings faster at a 20-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.
For crowd control, Killing Deck hits with more knockback (5 vs 3.5), keeping enemies at range while you reposition.
Both are Magic weapons, so the same armor set and class accessories buff either one — you can swap between them without rebuilding your loadout.
