I went 0/0/4/0, then 0/4/4/0.
Given my time again,i would have gone speed first.
Use a hammer ,all the time when grinding.Pull out the scythe for special occasions.
Have two hammers.a Duty one...a bit slow and bent ...and a Special one...for important battles..that dont require the scythe.

I used a spd sliced 3.6 ph to grind swordsman the second time i did it doing rancors, thougha scythe may have worked equally well if not better. Did it all in about 2 days.
Hehe much faster then the fist time when i had to wait for a ws that could even make a sword... heavy axe almost all the way.

Peeps who say don't use a Scythe because of financial reasons talk crap.............soon as u get 0 0 0 3 equip your 400k Scythe and hammer every Mokk Shamen/Janta shamenlair u can..........u will Master before your Scythe breaks and make at least 2million credsin the process.......leaving u with 1.5m at least to buy new weps..........and yes spin attack until area attack 3...........maybe 3 buff sets will get u through it
Ahhhh! the days of fighting npc's who do no super specials......I remember when a janta/mokk/kunga would hit you with back cracker for 3k damage and kill you in one hit (buffed or not).....since the devs screwed up the npc's specials even novices can grind on them without fear of dying.
Anyway, fighting them is not the most efficient for grinding though, less spawn per lair and you travel more just to get to them than most other missions (you'll never get 20 mokks in a mission spawn that go down in 3 - 4 hits either)......besides a persons main goal when grinding is gaining xp fast and easy as you can with minimal cost to you damage and credit wise. Then once you become master, you can hunt anything you want and make millions.....hell, you can go out and kill any npc and it might drop a great SEA for which you can sell for a million credits.....money can bemade at any time basically.But you can't just walk up to 100 different vendors and find a good scythe, plus they are very limited schematics from what I hear.
