What other weapon compares to the mighty torch?
Any, each and every weapon ... if you dip them in fire.
I realize it dont seem that way, but Torch is basicaly same trap as Everburning blade ... it may seem AWESOME at first glance ... but in fact its like m'kay at best.
> They are just permanently diped into Flame ... nothing more, nothing less.
All they do is that they save you your Bonus Action at first turn ... and every fifth(?) after ...
And reduce your need of burning surface, if you ever get to that situation where you dont have any at reach ... and man, i have 1 607,9h played of this game ... and i dont think that ever happened to me even once.
Also one more point, Torch, just like Everburning blade ... cant be coated by Poison ... meaning it gets very uneffective against Tieflings (and other Fire resistant, or Imune enemies) ... and there is lots of potentialy hostile Tieflings (and other Fire resistant, or Imune enemies) in this game.
So ...
Nah, its fine as it is.
