Warrior has all main-hand melee weapon, 2 handed melee weapon, 2 handed ranged weapon. Only thing we don’t have is a main hand melee hand like scepter, don’t we?
If we need a new weapon, I guess main hand ranged weapon is first priority.

Offhand.

yeah, that is off-hand. that is problem. we already have torment which is ranged as off hand weapon, sword.
..
Can’t we use torch as main hand that normally range attack?

Our whole info on this is just a picture and judging that the guy is holding a torch in his left hand… we assume its off-hand!
There are more things in an Elite Spec to look forward to that the 2 skills an off-hand offers. I am talking about traits and the profession specific mechanic (adrenaline).
With all our lacking info on the matter I can’t say that the torch is or isn’t a problem!

Having an alternative condi weapon for off hand isn’t that bad.
There’s actually some potential for main hand mace or axe to be used as a condi weapon with the elite spec and torch as an off hand.
There are traits that apply conditions on interrupt, allowing mace to deal condi damage.
And the axe’s fast attack speed is well suited to on-hit/on-crit effects (such as the ‘precise strikes’ trait), and the whirl finisher and projectile finisher of axe #2 and #3 can further be used to apply burns if torch gives a reliable fire field.
If the elite spec’s mechanic or traits then allow for some more burning, those two weapons may actually be viable main-hand condi weapons. Which would then create a need for both off hand sword and torch as condi off-hands.
We’ll have to wait and see how it turns out though.
