[Perdition]

The thing about Bamboo Bo is if you're SWA gouging for dark spells, I actually think rebelling hymn does it better while also giving you 5 more slots. Even if you're stacking skill, you need res for dark attack... unless you're doing luminary, but then you're going will and skill. Any way you cut it, you end up building traditional mage hexer/mage VA stats in exchange for 5 less slots. I think rotwood would be better off on other weapons that offer utility in exchange for the slots you lose from forgoing a tome like the necro staff. Not to mention that with rotwood, I'm fairly certain bamboo bo can't reach 20 weight without some jank like giant gene.
