>My setup is: Greatsword & Scepter/Focus.
I do that, too, though /pistol and /torch work well for me, too. Whatever you prefer, you may find it helpful to actively swap in battle, seeing one set as your “opener.”
That helps mitigate a lot of squishiness, getting your clones out quickly and applying more debuffs than available from a single slot.
Still squishy. Still not high damage. But good fun.
