i still dont really like it

look...

my Power hammer has over 750 damage with a powerup. While a bit hard to get oen with damage that good, I can get about 5 hammers and wind up with 1 or 2 of similar properties.

It has high Health cost..but with a buff that doesnt matter...and its Mind costs are much lower than this weapons...meaning itd be better with a buff. ANyone who PvP's should probably have a buff nowadays anyway.

Not only that, but the BLAST damage froma hamemr will eat through anyhting but Composite armor...this scythe would get stuck on Chitin or Ubese as well as Composite. Therefore in my humble opinion it is junk.

Lower Damage, and kind amessed up HAM costs, and a very widely-resisted Damage type would put this at the bottom of my use list. Why cant it have different stupid damage on it.

Id try it because the speed is nice and the range modifers are too.....but at master swordsman i think imd efinately going to prefer my high damage power hammer over this piece of crap.

and for those askign why im complaining....this is what the 3rd weapon we have that uses the SAME damage type? Pikemen get Stun Electric and Kinetic.TKA's are a bit limited.. Fencers have a few different damage types. I would have just liked to have seen a Cold or Stun or Electric based weapon for us.

not to mention it sounds liek its gonna be a pain in the arse to make and get a GOOD one made.

I think it is important to note the following:

1) The speed formula may be changing soon, which will hopefully make "capping" at 1s less of an issue. In terms of raw DPS the scythe is a real monster, especially when you factor in the fact that it deals well with mitigation.

2) Hopefully we will see more combat options in the future instead of having to depend on one weapon all the time. Given the nature of the weapon (a huge blade), I think that kinetic makes the most sense for it. I think the scythe will be a very powerful tool if not the only weapon that any swordsman ever uses.

Making one will be a pain mostly because of the randomness of slicing. I really hate that myself. Actually however, if the speed formula changes and capping is less of an issue, then speed slices will be very nice.

StGabe.

I'll save myuntil super good resources come and for my guild to loots top of the line stuff, besides i'll have around 15-20 of these scythe schematics since there are only 1 other swordsman in my guild and he only wants one. In other words i be swimming in scythes .

well just one question what to put my experment points on speed, ham, or dam. help !

Given that slicing is so random, I think we all really want to know if we can do this quest more than once if the first couple of scythes come out crap.

I hope it's not an easy quest, I don't want to see the things flood the server, but if you get a couple made and get like a 10% speed slice on each you're going to be pretty bummed.

Can the schematic for the scythe be traded to a master weaponsmith or not?

Skeer, Tempest

the powerhammer vs ranged = still a decent weapon if you can hit with it

the powerhammer vs melee = not gonna do much but get you killed.

the best weapon against melee right now is either the 2 hand axe or the cleaver - the cleaver can really do some damage though the accuracy isn't right on.

i think this thing can really rock if used properly by people who know what they are doing.

dude, the scythe is ap2, armor wont do crap against it.

its more in our favor than theirs.

hahahahaha u would rather use the power hammer in pvp haahahaha go home.

u wouldnt hit **edit**.

hahaha yeah the power hammer in pvp will drain more ham then you will dish out. not to mention you will miss 1/3 of the times vs any melee. only time it is good is when your facing a non melee person or my favorite facing a comando heheh so fun.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how hard is the quest?

Hey Gore/Gabe, could either of you please talk to Thunderheart or a dev about the 2 uses on the Scythe schematic, and what the reasoning is behind it?

Its wrong that we wait 6 months for a weapon, then have to fight a krayt dragon for only 2 uses.
