Guild Wars 2

I am using focus offhand but for my main hand I’m stuck between the sceptre and the sword. I like the sceptre because it gives a clone in your basic attack and it has got quite good skills, including 3 which puts lots of stacks of confusion on an enemy. The sword has a boon stealing skill and gives vulnerability on its basic skill, though the clone skill has a 12 second cool down so I can’t put out clones as fast. I like both of the weapons but im not sure which one to use.

I guess you are talking about PvE? Use the sword as much as you can. It has a much higher DpS compared to the scepter. Also it cleaves wich means it hits 3 enemies at once. It stacks vulnerability wich makes it one of the strongest basic attacks in dungeons for the team with nice passive damage. Also has a “oh-kitten-button” (2).

Scepter is for dangerious enemies where you need the range. This is pretty rare, I just can think of the rifle dude in Caudecus Manor to block his knockdown basic attack and meatshield with clones.

Personally I use Triple-Sword for my “average” situation. But I carry all weapons to swap around. Dual-Swords gives nice offence with solid defence, GS gives me range and another multi-interrupt (got BI :P ).

open world sword focus and greatsword is recommended. dungeons won’t benefit from gs since range =/= boons = low dps. also sword vulnerablity is just amazing.

general meta is sword focus + sword sword or sword pistol. adapt to the situation however.

Scepter is my favorite weapon by far… in wvw

Scepter 2 kills just about everybody if you’re condi

I bring both. I stick with the Scepter most times, but swap to Sword when needed. The Scepter makes you very, very difficult to kill by single foes that can’t one-shot you, making it ideal for soloing Champs, but sometimes you will need the higher DPS that Sword offers.
