That's not a great way to look at it for low levels, the 14/18 for the trance sticks. The offhand swing happens farrrrr too infrequently. Honestly, Trance sticks shouldn't even be a thought until 35, or close to it.

But you do bring up a valid point with mentioning the damage cap. Before level 10, damage is capped out at 20 damage per swing, so the 2H sucks a lot at that point. From level 10 to 20 the damage cap is 40 though, so using the quivering staff would be perfectly fine. Would lose out on a little bit of it's damage, but I'm still pretty sure it would out damage Trance sticks no problem.
