Razorswitch is a unique Jo Staff.
Although its skill bonuses are minimal at best, casters such Sorceresses or Necromancers may find its large mana bonus useful.
Besides its mana bonus, Razorswitch also gives a rather large boost to Resistances, making up for lack of a shield. In Nightmare and Hell difficulties, where resistances are drastically lowered, this could be particularly useful.
Razorswitch also boasts a high bonus to Faster Cast Rate. Sorceresses and Necromancers who specialize in Poison and Bone Spells will find this useful, but casters such as Summonmancers, that have little use for cast rate, are better off with other weapons more specific to their classes.
Razorswitch's other bonuses, i.e. Reduction of Magic Damage and return of Damage taken, are minimal, especially in Nightmare and Hell modes. However, its ability to return damage may be handy when Razorswitch's user is surrounded, causing enemies to flinch after they attack you, and giving the user just enough time to escape or retaliate.
Like most staves, Razorswitch is not intended for physical fighters, due to its low damage and durability. The only unique staff exempt from this rule is Ribcracker.
