Diablo II/Staves

Staves are two-handed staff weapons, and occupy 1x3, 1x4 or 2x4 inventory or stash spaces when not equipped:

Size
1x3	1x4	2x4
Short Staff	Long Staff Gnarled Staff Battle Staff	War Staff
Jo Staff	Quarterstaff Cedar Staff Gothic Staff	Rune Staff

Staves have 100 Strength bonus when calculating attack damage, so % Damage = Strength. As blunt weapons, they also have +50% Damage to Undead.

Normal, superior, magic and rare staves can spawn with up to three +(1-3) bonuses to individual Sorceress skills.

When staves are equipped by a Barbarian, Mace Mastery applies.
