Another thing you can do is find the .uti name for the staff by checking your save game (have it equipped to make it easier). Then equip a better staff that you've found, and use the save game editor to change the resource reference of the staff to the staff of parlathan's. That way, you'll have the visual appearance of that staff but the stats of whatever new one you're using. It'll be labeled "Staff of Parlathan" in your inventory but will use the item properties of the item you have.
It's how I give myself cooler looking items without cheating on the stats. 
could you explain this in abit more detail please? what/where is the save game editor? i would love to do this because i LOVE the staff of parlathan...
http://social.biowar...7/index/6462779Download the program in that thread. Go to documents\\bioware\\dragon age 2\\character\\[name]\\saves\\[savegame]\\[savegame].das and open it.
hit the + to open the tree, then open the tree SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR, then SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR, then SAVEGAME_EQUIPMENT_items. The first entry in the tree is your weapon, so open up that tree. It'll list the uti name of your currently equipped weapon. The first entry in that tree is a string--when you click it, the field in the bottom left of the editor will have the same text in it. Replace it with prm000im_parth_staff and hit the "save" in the bottom left. Then hit "save as" in the main file dialog, and replace your current save (make sure it's not your ONLY save mind you).
Then reload that save, and your item should look like the staff of parthalan, be named the staff of parthalan, but have the stats of whatever staff you equipped before.
