Thread: Petition to make sure that the Scythe is a Schematic for Weaponsmith
Hey guys,
We really should make sure that the quest for the Scythe is done by the WS (kinda like the RIS armor), with stats more powerful than the 2 hand curve sword and the damage just a tad bit lower than the PH, and maybe even different damage type (although I won't mind if its higher :smileyvery-happy
This way, we will ensure that we actully have another weapon that we can actually use.We already have enough junkwe get from quest that are useless. Last thing we need is another weapon like the Rantok sword from Jabba's Themepark. Please sign to show your support, and maybe the TC correspondent can pass this to Thunderheart (who i heard a while back has gotten some swordman skills)

The Nym's quest seems to have been subverted. Originally it was the swordsman who would benefit from doing the themepark but now the reward is a 'slug' weapon, a boon for the carbineers.
Do swordsman need a new weapon? Yes but I very much doubt that it should be a quest item comparable in magnitude to the RIS Armor quest. To anyone who's tried to obtain the materials required to compose a suite of RIS, it's very evident the scarcity of the resources. There won't be a suit of armor made for at least 2 months and that's an optimistic estimation. Another factor is an uber weapon would threaten the delicate balance amongst the professions. We'd hear endless cries of nerf if the swordsman did get such a quest.
The Scythe should definitely be a top tiered item for Swordsman; if not a scythe, another sword. What I'd like to see is a weapon, maybe the Scythe, do good damage but not kinetic or blast damage. More urgent and important, I believe, is the need for weapons of various damage types (electrical, stun, and so forth).
SIGN!

Delicate balance....*Laugh*...What balance? Go ask any pikemen if they feel balanced....Not satisfied yet? Ask a Fencer, A Swordsman, Or Hell Even a TKS if they feel Balanced With the other Melee. I'll Tell you exactly what you will get in Responce :
Pikeman, "We are so Broken,ourHAM Costs are Insane, We Miss to much..."
Fencer, " We don't do As much damage as the other melee's 
"
Swordsman, "TKS Own us , Our class has no Mod's like fencer, Horible HAM costs..."
TKS, "Yesterday i Got Beaten by a Master Fencer in a duel and then by a master Swordsman...My Class is broken, i Should Be Able to Destroy all! OhhBTW, With my Knucklers on HAM costs are Bad =("
Now Granted, My Biased Speculations on what the professions would say about the balance sound like the Trolling Nerfherders of the forums....but that doesn't mean that what they would say wouldn't be without a basis in fact

My Vote is for a AR3 Cold Damage Scythe Schematic That has Similar damage to the PH(Similar Pole-arm'ish weapons) with a Smaller delay and balancedHealth and Actioncosts in the 50ish areaand +0 accuracy.

LOL You're right. Some professions are definitely better than others.Others are definitely broken and underpowered.

I definitely like to see a weapon with better accuracy than the powerhammer. I'm not to particular about the damage type as long as it's not what we currently have.

lol - if we were to get that, it would be nerfed after a couple of days. You're asking for something more powerful than the PH, thats more accurate (werarely miss with the PH anyway), similar HAM costs to a cleaver ANDit would do cold damage. The only fair way to have something like that would give to give it a speed of 9.0, similar to a pre-nerf T21
I'd love to see a balanced scythe in-game, though.

LOL!!! Yeah I'll take one of those... it sounds like a greatanti-Krayt weapon!
