Thread: Scythe Blade!
The thing that factors the most in DPS is consistent damage. Which, the power hammer does not have. You can hit for 900 on one hit, and then 300 on another. I've got a 145-600 damage power hammer, which is roughly the same as my 70-305 damage curved sword in terms of damage range. I argue that a cleaver will give a master swordsman better DPS than a curved sword, due to the higher minimum damage and tighter damage range.
I can say with some degree of certainty that if the Scythe in its current incarnation goes live as-is, it will have considerably better DPS than a Power Hammer. The only thing that gives the hammer an edge in anything (in my opinion...) is the blast damage.
In case you can't tell, I'm not a fan of the power hammer at all. 
a lot of the ppl here dont realize that this is the old scythe (if u can call it that), not the updated one. the updated one has a little better dmg, a ton better ham, and worse speed. its the perfect weapon for us, i dont care what u all say.
better than the cleaver when it comes to accuracy, better than the curved and/or cleaver when it comes to dmg (especially helpful with mitigation), lower ham then the curved, about the same as the cleaver, and a reasonable speed, which doesnt really matter once ur in the higher levels of swordsman.
o and its ar2, so kinetic resist armor doesnt mean **edit**ake mushrooms.
great weapon, go check out the thread called scythe update or whatever, thats were u see the new scythe.
Not so much a reply, more of a question. Is this damned thing coming out in this patch? Please let me know!

The one thing I don't like...
...it isn't even a Novice requirement weapon...yet we gotta go through stuff to get it. But the power hammer is easily found. If that makes any sense to anyone.
Still, bout **edit** time...and slice on!

I got the schematic for the scythe yesterday but i need to give it to a master weaponsmith to make it (once i get the other parts, in 2 weeks). My question is how many uses does the schematic have?
From what I've heard it only has 2 uses.
