scepter, sword OH, torch, etc. have a place in TPVP?
Why not use Sword/Sword over Sword/Pistol? Much higher damage output.

Pistol provides a powerful CC and iDuelist has a higher damage output if you have Sharper Images with a significant investment in Precision.
My condition Mesmer uses Staff + Sword/Torch. Staff is my primary source of DPS, Sword/Torch is primarily for defense (Blurred Frenzy and The Prestige).
Sceptre is the only weapon I don’t see any point in. The only reason to take it is for Confusing Images IMO, but Blurred Frenzy is too good a burst/defense move to pass up; plus the MH Sword also provides pervasive boon denial.
Yeah the problem is larger than that, too. #2 on the Scepter is extremely powerful, but OH Sword also provides a nearly identical version, making this much less of a selling point. If #4 Sword was in fact #2 Sword, I think we’d see a little bit more balance between the two.

Sword OH provides the best spike damage. Swordsman immediately followed by a successful block can deal northward of 7k damage within the span of 2 seconds.
