Guild Wars 2

It’s been years since I’ve used anything other than a staff. I understand that in the open world pretty much anything is viable, but in terms of DPS how does scepter dagger compare to staff?

Scepter warhorn fresh air is amazing

Is the warhorn just for the extra boon uptime?

For CC’ing breakbars (air 5 and water 4), DPS and long lasting fire field (Fire 5), Water field healing (water 5) and yeah to squeeze some more seconds on quickness with earth 4, which is also a nice projectile reflect.
