Greetings.
My name is Manifest, Master Weaponsmith (recently 11-point)
Recently been stocking up on weaponry and really enjoy making scythes, but am unsure about Master Swordsman speed caps. These are what I have made so far:
Stormbringer 953/953 2.6 209-354 +4
Mournblade 953/953

heh. double post. Anyways.
Scythes are very good for Master Swordsman who don't have Mbrawler or speed tapes, as a good 1.8~2.0 speed scythe with 360 damage can be very lethal. Even higher damage scythes with slower speeds can be good if a mob has a higher blast resist than kin, which is rare but does occur.

Recently been stocking up on weaponry and really enjoy making scythes, but am unsure about Master Swordsman speed caps. These are what I have made so far:
Stormbringer 953/953 2.6 209-354 +4 used 25/15 yellow cubes and +25 agents (i think on the last, was a while ago)
Mournblade 953/953 2.6 194-349 +1
Syrkakang (x2) 1005/1005 2.6 199-344 +4
Steel Rain (x2)1005/1005 2.6 187-326 +7
All are unsliced and no pups
I think these are great personally but would like some input before I go public with wares.
What I really would like to know is if getting the speed below 2.5 or 2.6 is really desired. I have 7 looted cores with 51/39 -.984 +30. The stats on my yellow cube/base agent geo-sword cores are 45/55 -.49 (which would make something approximating the Steel Rain)
Is the bonus to speed worth the trade off in max damage to you?
I ask because I can use these to pull 2 off of 1-use of a schematic or pull 3 using a full schem and half of another. plus I have4 cores of 34-76 -.644 +39using a full schem for these as well. Just want to maximize my schem:scythe ratio. any insightinto Swordsman desires and speed preferences (if any) would be much appreciated.
