I have some scepter experience, and I personally view focus as more of a PvE weapon since the burst, control and movement provided by and offhand dagger is more useful against enemy players, while the projectile defences and invulns are a tad better for dungeons and whatnot. You can still screw people over with magnetic wave and obsidian flesh rezzes/stomps are really cool too! so it definetly can work in small group wvw play.

I hate staff so I never use it haha. Just D/F D/D and S/D mostly for me. Your builds seem really interesting since most people go to 20 instead of 15 in water, so I think the 0/15/20/15/20 one looks balanced and interesting, but I would suggest rock solid over geomancer’s freedom.
