Force Staff Versus Force Sword

By Benjihuff, in Deathwatch

Hey all,

I am new to Death Watch, and will be creating a Librarian. As for his weapon load out I was trying to compare the Force Staff and the Force sword. I can't seem to understand what makes the staff comparable. It requires two hands but does less damage, the only bonus being a 5 higher rating to invocations that a different psy focus would give. Which makes me think why take a force staff? Does it stack with another Psy focus giving a potential 25 to invocation? Is invocation that good?

Help me understand what I am not seeing being new to the game.

I'd choose on style. The sword might be better but it's not so much better that it's a must-have.
