Any Word on how long till the Scyth Quest??? im kinda getting board of just the 2h curved sword.

all our weapons suck but the 2h curved sword. the power hammer sucks except for putting on bleeds and 1h killing. i would like to see some scyths, vibro axes, and GOOD cleavers, soon... i dont think they relly thought about the swordsman much, i think it was just 1 dev meeiting one day, "hey guys, i like swords, and i like big things, so lets make big swords, weeeeee"... and that was the extent of there planing.

if you get any word on the new weapons, if you see them pop into the test server, poast here

..yup....bought one of that kind today...stats almost as good as you stated...still need to meet my slicer *rubbing my hands*

can't help it...love that weapon

is that sliced? and could someone post the unsleced stats of a cleaver (with max damage and speed)

There are already good cleavers. I'm not on right now so I can't tell you the exact stats, but my cleaver is speed 3.3, and something like 125-250 dmg. With my +65 2hand melee speed that brings the speed down to 1.155. So a 125-250 1.115 sword is 168 DPS. Not bad if you ask me.

If 150-250 3.3 was sliced, then it must've been a really bad slice. A regular unsliced one on my server is 3.5 speed, 100-220 damage, and I would say my server isn't as technologically advanced as other servers, so the base should be higher on several other servers.

At Master Swordsman, I prefer power hammers to swords. The speed seems to be less important, what helps more is damage. I seem to be able to attack once every 2 seconds with my hammer. That is plenty fast for me, when the hammer is dealing out tremendous damage. It may be that technically a curved or a cleaver do more DPS, but the hammer has a way of taking things down in 1 or 2 hits.

Back to the original point: If the scythe is really that much better than any of our current weapons, we might have balancing issues to worry about. The only thing I hope to see with the scythe is an increase in range, and maybe a new animation.
