"scythe is worse then ph(if u got capped speed)"
Please someone explain this one too me. How is a speed sliced hammer that STILL has higher damage than the scyth thats damage sliced not better? Let alone with a good geno core or low damage acklay bone in the hammer.
I just find the scyth completely useless unless the enemy has overwealming blast resists, and my single 31% sliced that Ive had since the weapon came out is still only down 200 total condition.
That and the scyth's mind costs forces me to use more than just my alts mind buffs and a single brandy, which I avoid whenever I can.
Maybe I just never fight anything besides singing mountain that I ever need to use kinetic on

I don't really think we need a new sword... we need an existing sword to become good!
The scyth, for example, would be fine. But give it higher ap! and make it slower, but more damaging. And perhaps a different damage type (energy). It's got geonesian power cubes for cripes sake... call it a power weapon and say it's got a disrupter field or something.
We've got lots of swords to use. It's the same with the fencer. The problem is, SO many of ourare effectivly useless. In fact, a high damage powerhammer beats them all, hands down, without question.
Perhaps we'll see some changes in the combat re-balance, but what I think is more likely is they'll just nerf our best weapon (PH) until it's so goddamned awful that the cleaver/hack/scyth looks great by comparison.

More weapons would be welcome anytime. I don't even care if they have the same or similar stats with the Powerhammer/Scythe. We need more variety.

I do agree that we should use swords, I just don't think this petition has a chance to change anything. After all, Fencers should be using the foil,not swords, not batons, FOIL. Swordsman should've been using swords, but instead they can use Hammers. I think SOE got a little confused, blunt weapons do not belong in Fencer or Swordsman. They are different weapons, that cause different damage, and that take different movements when fighting with.
