Best Staff Weapons Warframe

The Tipedo has the highest crit chance of any staff/polearm, at 20%. It also has 20% status, making it viable for a hybrid status/crit build. Let me tell you, this works really well. You can use Blood Rush, Drifting Contact, Healing Return, and Condition Overload all at the same time, and they all work. The healing is slightly less effective than the Lesion because of the Lesion's higher status numbers and guaranteed toxin procs, but it's still quite effective. Its higher attack speed probably does not improve healing in practice, since it red-crits easily and everything dies in one hit. Also, if you like the Relentless Combination mod, this is a great weapon for it: you have a high status chance to trigger slash procs, and a high crit chance to make use of the combo counter (I don't use Relentless Combination myself.) The Tipedo is effective, interesting, and fun.

In addition to systems specifically devoted to stick-fighting, certain other disciplines include it, either in its own right, as in the Tamil martial art silambam, or merely as part of a polyvalent training including other weapons and/or bare handed fighting, as in Kerala's kalaripayattu tradition, where these wooden weapons serve as preliminary training before practice of the more dangerous metal weapons.

Tchoung Ta-tchen Walking Stick Form, Yang Taiji Tuan Kun.  Grandmaster Tchoung Ta-tchen (1911-2000) taught in China, Taiwan, Vancouver, and Seattle.  There is a right hand version and left hand version of this solo stick/cane form; and a partner form developed by Tchoung Ta-tchen's senior students.  The walking stick forms are part of the Tchoung style of t'ai-chi ch'uan, a Yang style variant, developed by Grandmaster Tchoung Ta-tchen.  Sifu Harvey Kurland and Sifu Andrew Dale, master instructors, teach this form.  "Tchoung had a particular interest is studying the sword and stick forms. He learned several sword styles from the top masters of the day. The sword forms had names such as "Green Duckweed Sword", green bamboo sticks of the beggars style, Kun Lun (Kwin Lin) sword, Heaven and Earth sword, as well as the t'ai chi sword, double sword, as well as Yang and Wu t'ai-chi knife sets. He developed his own t'ai chi Tuan Kune or walking stick form which he taught to his students." - Harvey Kurland.  Kung Fu magazine, August 1996.  "The cane should be performed like you are using a whip.  Quick in hand action and footwork.  This form is the creation of Grandmaster Tchoung Ta-tchen.  Based upon the pattern of the San Tsai Jian (Three Powers Sword).  This form combines two other styles he studied from a Taoist martial arts teacher: the Beggar's Bamboo stick and the Green Duckweed stick." Section One is the right hand side, Section Two the left hand side, and Section Three is "actually the Bagua Cyclone Saber Form which adapts very easily to the cane applications."  -  Xin Qi Shen Dojo, Yang Taiji Tuan Kun.  There is a list of movement names, 37 movements, Taiji Tuan Kun, Section One, from Xin Qi Shen Dojo.  The Xin Qi Shen Dojo (Wuji.com) in Seattle now offers a Yang Taiji Weapons demonstration DVD, which includes a demonstration of the solo cane form, according to their Winter 2009 Newsletter.  There is a list of movement names, Solo Cane Form (33 movements), and the Partner Cane Form (15 movements) from Gene Burnett, Ashland OR.  Gene Burnett offers a demonstration DVD of the Taiji Weapons in this style of Taijiquan.  He demonstrates Tchoung's Cane Form, both the Left Side and Right Hand, and the Right Side and Left Hand sequences.  The demonstration includes multiple repetitions of each side of the solo cane form; and a good demonstration of both sides of the partner form and skillful partner play with a lady partner (VSCL).  There is a list of the movement names for Tchoung's Solo Walking Stick Form, Section One, Left Side, Right Hand, 35 movements, including directions, notes and a bibliography by Mike Garofalo.  Gene Burnett has been helpful to me in learning about this cane form: [T'ai-Chi for Geniuses.  A Practice Companion for the Genius in Everyone.  By Gene Burnett, Ashland, Oregon.
