I totally thought when I opened this thread it was going to be about how every single follower in the game is obsessed with staffs. I have yet to find a follower who doesn't instantly latch onto every single staff in their inventory. I'm playing one character who doesn't loot anything from bodies, and yet somehow Lydia still has a staff in her inventory she brings out every battle. I suspect she got fed up with my not looting the bodies and looted it herself from one of the necromancers we were fighting.
Word of warning from the voice of experience: Never give your follower a staff of chain lighting or staff of paralysis. It took me a while to figure out why every single guard we helped put down a dragon or vampire would instantly ignore me and make Serana slaughter them when the enemy was dead. But I figured out why I was suddenly going into a cutscene of my character going rigid and falling VERY quickly. Vorstag didn't get to keep that staff very long.
