Hey Arenanet and fellow GW2 fanatics! Hope you all are enjoying this game as much as I am. Obviously, duh. Why wouldn’t you be?!

Anyway, I wanted to discuss the scepter and torch weapon options for the mesmers. Why in the world would you EVER want to pick those two weapons as a mesmer? I have been constantly battling myself over the scepter. I want to believe it’s a good weapon, but overall I find it awful compared to our other mh weapon, the sword. I personally would love a better #1 attack. Change it, please! I really want to use it in dungeons where it is difficult to use my sword.

The torch is at a whole different level. It is absolutely awful. Its stealth is the only reason it should be considered a part of existence. The iMage is where the true problem resides. I would suggest changing the iMage. A personal favorite and a great idea would be to change the iMages attack to the guardian equivalent torch attack, cleansing flames. Not exactly like cleansing flames, but a similar animation that burns foes. It doesn’t have to cleanse conditions.

Here are my suggestions:

Scepter #1 attacks and projectiles are faster. They apply confusion on 2nd and 3rd hit. Remove clone generation on third attack.

Torch iMage uses a “cleansing flame” equivalent. Doesn’t remove conditions. Apply fire debuff and deals damage over a short time.

I wouldn’t mind other suggestions and opinions. I also don’t care if the changes are not what I offered, but I would still like to see a changes regardless.
