Was this changed?
I do not think it does matters that much. Not alot of people use scepter because the sword is a much better one handed weapon. The scepter attack speed was too slow to do anything meaningful. The clones is pretty much laughable. This addition might help make it more viable. It is still pretty bad. GS, staff, or sword is still better
Besides, creating clones sounds good on paper, but in practice. You are replacing you good clones and phantasm. which makes the weapon weaker
Conncept, its speed is actually dictated by what range you are, as it doesn’t start the next attack until the last one has landed.
