i dunno that i agree that the best offhand in eminent dagger. while it has the better delay, delay is really all it has. it's behind in combat skill compared to either a buramenk'ah or anahera saber, and WAY behind on base dmg (which does still count for something, even in the offhand) not to mention that whichever of the 2 swords it's competing with, it's behind on DA as well.


as to the OP, RDM can use baqil staff. it has decent showings in magic acc, magic dmg, and magic att bonus, and of course venabulum is a full blown 119 staff which rdm can use if you're lucky enough to get it, it's arguably the best casting item in the game ATM.

you could also look at eminent wand if you wanna go that route. it's slightly ahead of baqil staff magic acc wise, (very slightly if you assume a mephitis grip) but a good bit behind for magic dmg so, eh. tamaxchi is also noteworthy, it's the worst i've mentioned insofar as magic acc, magic dmg, and magic attack, but it still gives sizeable bonus' and 22% cure potency. so if you need the cure potency... it's pretty great.
