I was as disappointed as everyone else in the Executioner's Hack. The fact that the Scythe uses exactly the same resources and smokes the Hack was disheartening. The fact that the Executioner's Hack has only one use per schem and is very hard to get should make it worth something. I had the idea that rather than alter the stats of the hack the Devs could throw us a bone that would not unbalence the professions and make the Hack more appealing. I had the idea while looking at the hack in my hand, you know this is and intimidating weapon, should have some shock value on enemies. So why not give the Black Sun Executione's Hack an Intimidation of 5, not overpowering but it would make the weapon more appealing.

Let me know what you think.

P.S. Oh, BTW I am a Master Swordsman and a Master Weaponsmith so I have seen the down side of this weapons from both perspectives.

Rumor is that the hack is already balanced as far as the combat balance goes. So, if CB ever happens, the scythes will start to be on par with the hack and I dread to see what happens to the PH. And, there is a really good chance that a new, pre-nerf weapon market will open up that will be simply HUGE.

The hack is a good weapon for running the DWB. Neither 2 hand weapon does squat in there and since swordsmen tank on the trips I'm on, its easier to grind away a hack(with its unlimited supply of schematics) as opposed to a scythe(with its limited number of schematics.)

Of course, I've only had my WS craft one and then gave it to a friend. But just picked up another schematic that I may use with some of the smaller stacks of cubes.
