Cuddy.6247 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 So I recently started playing mesmer after a long time of not really liking it, and I'm just curious - can anyone explain to me why scepter isn't generally liked more? Especially if I trait Malicious Sorcery I really like it, stacks torment, good confusion, mind wrack can be spammed a lot. I was a little iffy because I never saw it even mentioned in a lot of meta builds but it turned out okay. So what's exactly wrong with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holly lyn.2173 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Other than the 50% nerf (because that's the only kind there is) it was a good weapon. Also what game mode are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayga.3192 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 In PvE, sword is better.In WvW and sPvP, scepter is one of the best weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiceCookedPorkins.8940 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Scepter's great in PVE if you need a ranged condi weapon. The only reason it doesn't usually beat out staff is because staff is a super mobile weapon that has a higher impact on survivability than scepter provides DPS.

Jtoon.6907 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I use condition damage scepter/chronomancer with the skills for many shatters and no wells. I seem to survive very well and do good damage. I tried sword and shield but didn’t so as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
