I tested this, it does not work. It is almost pointless. I did actually talk to GregoriusT about this.
The staff is suppose to drain the power out of electric armor like nano and quantum allowing you to kill people wearing it. Only way to test it is to use it on someone while playing on a pvp enabled SMP server and seeing if drains their armor.
Let me just quote this then:

So it should drain the power but not destroy the armor? Because the Nano Saber's point is to destroy the armor making it less useful for friendly fights. If the Tesla Staff keeps the armor safe it would be good for friendly PVP. Losing your Quantum armor isn't fun especially when GT is involved.
No, it does nothing. But if it actually worked it should destroy the player armor.
Neat! Good to know, thanks.
I thought this was your typical roasting zombies scenario.
But the Nano Saber already does that, why would it do exactly the same thing? Unless you meant it should destroy any and all armor and not just Nano and Quantum in which case it would be a bit too overpowered.
the nano saber only destroys nano armor (unless its been buffed or I'm stupid, both are possible). So quantum is invincible as long as it has power, which the tesla staff was intended to change.
In that case IC2 wiki is lying (or outdated but in either case doesn't surprise me, it's not like it is written professionally at all).
If I would be to start making mods, I could make a mod for that. Sounds simple.
With gregtech the nano saber now costs the same as quantum armor as he bumped the recipe up to insane levels. So it kinda defeats the purpose of it being used against nano only which is also vulnerable against normal swords due to its 90% damage reduction.
Well, the nano saber destroys the nano armor in one hit, damage reduction doesn't matter too much. And on anarchy servers you usually do find people with nano armor.
Greg has hinted that there is another/will be another secret usage for the Teslastaff. I've seen it in the GregTech page in the IC2 forums but I don't want to look through a ton of pages.
I think the obvious secret use is if you get struck by lightning it charges the staff and whatever electric stuff you are wearing.
That's pretty cool, I've never actually figured that out or heard of it. Seems so obvious now...
