You can't backstab with the Staff of the Magi though, because plain thieves can't use it. People generally use the staff because it drives spellcasters nuts with click weapon->invis. It may not be strongest weapon damage-wise, but it can help you clear stuff without hassle.
Are you saying that a Thief can't backstab with the Staff of the Magi, even with UAI? Quarterstaffs are a Thief weapon, so can normally be used with backstab. In fact, Staff of the Ram is supposedly a popular weapon for this. I've never tried the Staff of Magi for this, so don't know if there's some additional limitation at work.
No they can't. Bugs aside, anything a plain thief can't use will not allow you to backstab.
UAI is different. You can't backstab with weapons like Carsomyr, for example.
I know that Thieves can't backstab with Carsomyr (sadly!), since it is a two-handed sword and not a normal thief weapon. However, quarterstaffs are normally available to Thieves.
Yeah, but the Staff of the Magi isn't. It's not so much about weapon types, it's about specific weapons. There's a reason only mages can use the staff, and that reason is why you can't backstab with it.

I believe you guys, but is that normal for a thief class weapon that isn't normally available to thieves? Or is it a peculiarity of the Staff of Magi?
Only using g the staff for the invisible anyways... it's not that great for backstabbing with. Use rynn. At least that does damage.
If you want it for the dispel, well you are already meta and should be breaching with Edwin. .. or aerie... or nalia...before anyone is even close... and dumping traps with yoshi.
Edit. I ass/u/me this is on YOUR char. Ofc.
Double edit: and it's for protections if on the dispel.... if you hit.... level dependant...so it's more of a debut staff than a stab staff.... especially since by the time you get over and because your thac0 is kinda crap.... you could have just killed it... use rynn....
I used it more for after I did a sequencer agro up invisible dump agro.... trying to stab... it's only a +2.... again... use rynn. It's not an attack staff. It's a where's Waldo staff.

You was saying?
Too lazy to rainbow my little apocalypse pony it.
You can backstab with staffs.... more of a donk punch... but can. Including that one.umd just let's the thief wield it since it's class restrict.
