Wand of striking useless? Not in the following configuration:

              |
             W|
             R@####
             X|
              |

With a wand of striking you can just keep whacking away at the W and X, and
anything else that wanders up, and never be in any danger. It's almost as good
as a scare monster scroll. It's also good when confused, since you have a
much better chance of zapping in the correct direction then you do of moving
the way you want.
