I want to know what an "Iridal Staff" is.

Edit: Was answered below. Didn't realize it's the name of the NQ. Thanks!

I want to know what an "Iridal Staff" is.

Its the long over-due revamp of the lvl 51 elemental staffs. Iridal is the NQ combo staff and Chatoyant is the HQ combo staff.

I'm kind of regretting it. I have been testing it in Aby Vunkerl on Jasconius, and it's definitely doing less damage than my HQ ice. Seems to cap at 4000 damage, I got 5/8 at 4000, a few under 4k, and one 4227. Overwhelmingly evenly at 4000 exactly though.

This staff (especially with the bonus from weather) will be amazing for SCH. The current main question is what level affinities do we have on it?

As soon as HQ prices come down I want to compare it to the ice staff. Everything I'm seeing says it's not as potent.

Level 99 Ice staff?

From what I gather, its the same +15% as old HQ elemental staves with +10% weather in the fashion of Twilight Cape.

For SCH this might actually come out on top, easy access to weather makes that +10% more or less permanent and with TP from Occult Acumen Shattersoul is actually a viable weapon skill. It effectively does 10% less damage than Trials for SCH, but when you account for Shattersoul is actually becomes more or less equal. Extra INT, MACC and inventory space being obvious bonuses in favor of this staff. Reduced cast time and the fact that you wouldn't be putting any effort into that extra 20% on Trials staves go in their favor. Honestly, the amount of effort that would go into making this new staff deal the same amount of damage will probably hurt your DoT in the long run, but it's certainly something to look into.

That does all of course depend on how viable it actually is to use Shattersoul on SCH. In theory with no TP loss to changing weapons and Adloquium there really is no reason not to throw down Shattersoul. I'm probably forgetting something like "Shattersouls -10 magic defense isn't 100% and is completely resisted on anything worth a damn" though.

Edit: Oh hi derp, of course... If you're using Shattersoul it gives anyone using a Trials staff the same bonus leaving you ~10% behind anyway. Though I guess if nobody currently uses Shattersoul you're effectively adding 10% for every nuker in your party...

Level 99 Ice staff?

No the HQ Ice staff. I was getting even 4000 shots on Jasconius compared with 4700's yesterday. Only thing I don't know is what elemental day it was yesterday, so I can't really do a scientific comparison.
