Sounds like you should go with the scepter first, then. I plan on making the scepter as my first ascended piece, too.

Since the scepter is the weapon you’ll use 85% of the time as a condition mancer, I’d definitely make that ascended item first.

Personally I’m holding out hope that the new legendary scepter will be worth using and will be getting that. Therefore i’m getting the dagger first and then staff. Skipping scepter altogether and going for the legendary one.

Went with Staff. Even though I use Scepter probably more, the Staff is giving twice the numerical bonus as an upgrade. And extra condition damage while holding staff is still going to boost existing ticking dots put on from the scepter / dagger.

The actual damage range upgrade on staff is doing more for you too as all those marks multiply in damage per target hit (and for DS). Scepter being the condi weapon not that important its base damage range.
