Give the rod of striking SPELL_MELEE. It's clobberin' time!
Note: a +9 rod with 27 Evoc recharges 0.52 mana per 10 aut, ie,
0.312 per 6 aut (a club and thus rod's mindelay).
Should be roughly balanced all the way from D:1 (but not as a starting
weapon) to endgame, although its usefulness depends on the character.
The sweet spot is 14 M&F 27 Evoc 0 Earth, where it beats all regular
competition. For other builds, other top-end choices (dwhip, 2-handers,
enhancer staves) are a no-brainer, but having one niche where it shines
looks right.
Obviously, it's possible I'm on crack, so here are some numbers:
+9 dwhip {nothing} 21
+9 great mace {nothing} 23
+9 rod [charged] 32 (short fight)
+9 rod [empty] 8
-- sustained 15
staff of earth 34
staff of non-resisted 42
