Let's look at the stats:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 72 | 92 | 113 | 108 | 550 | 2 |
Now compare to what I had:
Spectral Kris:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 30 | 30 | 36 | 46 | 487 | 1 |
+
Voice of Reason:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 49 | 49 | 46 | 31 | 74 | 0 |
Total:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 79 | 79 | 82 | 77 | 561 | 1 |
The difference was:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| -7 | +13 | +31 | +31 | -11 | +1 |
The result was an upgrade. The 11 spell power lost could easily be made up with the additional socket.
But what if I pick up the Guiding Star?
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 36 | 48 | 0 | 49 | 550 | 0 |
+
Voice of Reason:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 49 | 49 | 46 | 31 | 74 | 0 |
Total:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| 85 | 97 | 46 | 80 | 624 | 0 |
The difference would be:
| Stamina | Intellect | Crit | Haste | SpellPower | Sockets |
| -13 | -5 | +67 | +28 | -74 | +2 |
74 spell power is a big deal, but so is losing 67 crit.
So, that's a lot of numbers. LT;DR is this -- I'm no longer after the Guiding Star. It looks like the staff will be in my possession until I can upgrade the shield, and I'm not sure that's going to happen any time soon.
