Maybe. I think I'll stick to my +2,+2 TWS that I start off with, though.
From what I remember, a staff of striking is just a +3,+3 staff. That
means that you get  a 15% better chance of hitting the monster, and you
do 4-9 points of damage from each blow (not counting other bonuses).
better than a +1,+1 mace, but I think that you can do better.
