Thread: Petition to make sure that the Scythe is a Schematic for Weaponsmith

It better be good to have to wait for it this long. And it should be a craftable weapon since it is one ofour certs. If it isn't a craftable weapon then it should be a varient of another weapon (ie, requires two handed curved sword cert to use)
exactly what i said on a different post 
be nice if someone listens to us for a change (PS make the flame DOT not incap anymore like the rest of us, only reason i'll ever lose to a commando 
)

*Tuesday WeldsWhy cant we get like a vibro-katana or a power-katana in place of the scythe since the scythe when it gets introduced into the game it is going to be really slow and maybe slower than the PH. Think about the size of the PH and then look at a scythe and think ow weight ratios on it and how you will use such a weapon and really would you want that as a special weapon since you get the certification to use the thing in the brawler stages??? F that ppl give us a weapon that is what a Swordsman is really supposed to use like a PH with more speed, different damage type, and a bit less on max damage but more on minimum damage and then at least with gaining the ability to use something that a Swordsman should look like and use instead of some overweight piece of curved wood and a curved blade on the end to cut your own head off with.
Thats my 2 cents.

On a side note, I've always thought they should introduce one new weapon to each melee class.
A cold damage 2hand sword, a heat damage 1hand sword, a poisoning/disese polearm, and an acid damage Vibro Knuckler (or something like it). It's just seems so wrong to me that ranged can choose between at least 3 different types of damage and we get two, one if you're a TKA (plus the fact that it seems that almost everything strong against kinetic is equally strong against blast).

BRING ON THE SCYTHE.
Like so many others I started down the Two Handed tree thinking I would one day be able to swing the scythe. I don't much care if its a uber weapon or a weak weapon like the rantok. I would just like to have the scythe as an ingame weapon that I can use.

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).
Electrical and energy blades would be cool, although I don't know how they'd do it. But something would be nice for us Heavy Swordsman/Doctors who run across a pissed off Kunga Rockshaper..... and run we did after we realized our HH3 wasn't sctraching the Kunga and we deceided to examine him...
Nobody can cry nerf on us after they look at our defence mods.

We need a new weapon. And i think that if the sword is only for masters.....it will be better....then they can do it more powerful..
