Grieving Moonstaff

The grieving moonstaff is a power level 3 staff that can be crafted at a mystic forge. The recipe is unlocked after studying a mysterious crescent carving, which can be dropped by garou druids with a 2/100 drop chance. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores. Its special effect is -15% critical strike chance, which alongside its lower rune damage modifier at every power level, makes this the weakest staff to ascend. For example, compare this to the draconic staff: That staff has +15% critical strike chance but has -15% durability to compensate. However, it has the same rune damage modifier as most other staffs at the same power level, while this staff has less, with no benefit to offset the reduced chance to crit.
