I mostly saw it on Gamefaqs and forums when I just googled Caged Fury a couple days ago. Also Reddit, but I suppose it could have just been my really bad luck and I have bad suggestions from Google. I did notice a fair bit of distaste below, but I did skim so possibly wrong.

I definitely agree Force Hatchet is more loved because Assassin is more common, but meh.

"But hey, is it really that important what other people think about the weapon of your choice?"

That wasn't so much my worry as the issue of there being misinformation about, but as long as this comment exists at all to asuage that worry, even if misplaced, I feel better about it. (I really hate misinformation :/)

"BTW, did you ever give this to your Pawn and if so, how did it work? Curious. :D"

I have! It was very weird, actually. My pawn was exponentially more effective when I was using some type of pawn that regularly used a taunting ability, or when I used the Miasma + Focused Bolt tactic. I forget what the inclinations were, but miasma and maelstrom were DEFINITELY the most effective spells when I gave them this staff. I found that giving your pawn a bunch of mushrooms would completely offset the lack of stamina, as they'd just immediately use them and get out of their exhaustion animation and either reposition or resume casting. If the situation is one where a sorcerer would have time to cast anyways, generally this staff is just a very easy way to get massive damage without having to grind bitterblack. Interestingly enough, if your pawn knows to use curatives, you can actually get some group stamina curatives and have them repeatedly restore your stamina any time they get hit with full charge, which is often if they only have maelstrom and miasma as attacks. I found it very useful for farming the offline Ur dragon when I was bored of constantly holy Focused Bolting him to death, as I'd climb on him instead and my pawn would repeatedly restore my stamina. Made it so I didn't have to use Arm-Strength and could instead equip Grace. I used Mushroom Potage if you're curious what stamina curative I prefer. I'd just stock up from Fournival and max out my pawn's weight with them.
