If you take the spiral tower path you can use a sword as if it was a staff, and then you can wield both at the same time. While it is true that you'll rarely get your wis bonus penalty applied every encounter, the illusion at-will (-2 penalty to attacks on the target) is a solid enough effect to use the orbs sustain effect on. In either case, wisdom is the best secondary stat. While a +1 to your defences 1/encounter is less likely to come into pay, the +1 AC is the main reason to take the staff. [Also, if you are allowed to use DDI powers, you can get the feat that treats the staff as a dual weapon with the defensive property and thus another +1 to your AC]</blockquote>
