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.
