Ok so I got the Wabbajack from Sheogorath during "The Mind of Madness"quest.
So I've been playiong around with it, and except for a few instances, it's a wash as a weapon, esp. past level
25 or so. (Where everything seems to become much harder, btw.)
Here's what I found it can do so far:
Delayed fireball explosion when hit (splash damage) will kill lesser monsters like Frostspiders instantly.
Delayed Electrical explosion (effect same as above)
Duplicate: I shot this once a a Giant Frost Spider and TWO of them appears. YIKES.
Transmute: Shot this at a Saber Cat and turned him into a bunny. (Then killed and ate) Muahahah.
Summon Daedric warrior: Yeah..this sucked, and it happened when I shot the Wabbajack at a dragon.
Was not cool at all.
So how about you guys?
What's your experience with this weird weapon?
I've only got a staff that is called "Skull of Interrogation". It's a really nice looking staff, looks like the wabbajack but has a skull on top of it. I obtained it from some daedric quest in Dawnstar..
I think you don't need to recharge it with soulgems, but you can suck out peoples dreams when the sleep and recharge it that way... It adds +50 in attack then
Hi all,
I'm beginning a play through of Henson's Magician build with fire/destruction replacing conjuration (illusionist pickpocket/speech build). I'm using wabbajack as my main weapon for creatures I can't calm or fury, does anyone know if the destruction perks work with the fire/frost/electrical attacks the staff does vs. bosses? I know that the staff's charges are effected by destruction skill, but I want to know if it benefits from perks like augmented flames, or intense flames.
A speech build magic-user relies on scrolls and purchased soul gems for much of their magic use, so a staff is a great weapon in this regard, and for a somewhat mad bosmer magician, the wabbajack is the perfect walking stick; I just want to know if I get a benefit from putting some perks into destruction for it as against "boss" monsters the wabbajack only does elemental damage and therefore acts like a staff of fireball, lightning storm, or ice storm...pretty useful!
I have a lot of love for this staff and believe it to be a viable weapon, especially in conjunction with Miraak's Staff. Turning an enemy into a pile of gold never gets old - the instant death is very handy, if rare - while the tentacle spawn will lock down enemies turned into Dremora Lords.
Against dragons I've never seen anything other than powerful elemental attacks which made this staff very handy for ranged combat.
Everyone here should read Henson's article "Wabbajack: The Probability of Awesome." That should answer many of your Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajact, Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajack, Wabbajact, Wabbajack, Wabbajack...
