I am thinking that if they changed Smite from a DoT AoE to a Spike AoE possibly with some knock back or cancel it could really make the scepter a more viable option what do you think?

I still like my idea. Make Smite into a Symbol of some kind.

“Come on, hit me!”

Smite being a symbol would be amazing. It feels a little silly that only one of our main-hand weapons has a symbol – mace. All of our 2H weapons have a symbol, which makes sense, but it would also be nice if each of our main weapons had a symbol.

I guess this is supposed to lend a little extra weight to using a mace over using a sword, as well as weighted toward using at least one 2H weapon, but it already feels like it’s enough that they’re just designed for different purposes – mace is defensive, sword is offensive, scepter is ranged. I don’t see why we can’t also have symbols on each of those to reflect their roles.

I like the Sword as it is, but I can understand who people would like a Symbol on it.
Here’s another idea for the Scepter: In addition to making Smite a Symbol (or a combo field of some kind), make the first attack a projectile finisher. Boom. Scepter is now a great support weapon.

“Come on, hit me!”

What’s wrong with Smite? It does huge amounts of damage on very short cooldown. The unpredictability is there, but that’s expected given the damage and cooldown already. The multi-hit is also useful for crit.

I meant more as in elites that arent signets, shouts, consecrations or meditations as youd be traiting for those already to begin with.

But hey you got me, touche
