It'd have to be a huge increase, point over point.
Level 163 staff has 178 MATK, 2 INT, 1 LUK and requires 160 LUK
Doomsday staff has 118 MATK, +80 HP and requires 80 LUK
178 * 0.75 = 133.5 which is a net gain over the doomsday. You'd have to scroll a very good doomsday to make up for it. Also, elemental wands/staves are much more common and can be scrolled better. Furthermore, higher level items like these staves get better bonuses from potential system, including +% INT/damR at 12 versus 9 for the doomsday. Don't forget that you'll likely have to put stuff in LUK anyway to get accuracy.
So, the real question is, why would bishops not go for an elemental staff even with the disadvantage?
