power or condition based damage
fun vs efficiency: what is more important

Team Deathmatch for PvP – Raise the AoE cap for WvW – More unique events for PvE
Deathshroud is your ranged weapon :S Staff damage is weak with the exception of #4 and scepter is a condition weapon. Unless you plan on running a condition build lifeblast is your best ranged option.
Power or Condition build?

shouldn’t call DS a ranged weapon.

This ^ kinda.
Necro lacks a good ranged power option.
Where PVE is concerned your best bet is berzerker & Dagger/warhorn
For your secondary set if you cannot get in close try staff. Scepter damage sucks unless you build for it (nobody really does in PvE due to how conditions work).
The damage of staff is much lower then dagger/whatever melee but the utility/support helps.
Conditions are alright for single target in long fights if your the only one using them but the second someone else comes along and applies them chances are they are going to conflict and someone will be losing damage potential because the other persons conditions overrides theirs.
Staff is an AoE weapon. It is good in PvE tagging, WvW condition spamming, and PvP condition management.
Scepter is a single target bleeder that works best in PvP.
