At master swordsman, without master brawler or speed tapes, a speed sliced scythe will do more damage per second. However the difference won't be by much. I personally like damage slices, since I plan on getting at least 90+ speed(well i hope to). Plus damage sliced scythes won't decay as fast as speed sliced ones, which means alot since you don't find 92max damage sword cores every day .

It depeneds on the scythe to be honest, if made from the best materials, exceptional sword coreswith a really good - to speed on them then you want a damage slice.

All of my scythes were 2.6 speed 338 max before sliced, all using exception cores, and all sliced at 27, 28, 29% respectively. Giving me 3 scythes over 400 max damage at a speed of 2.6. If you have a scythe that has a base speed of under 2.8 pray for damage, 3.2 or higher pray for speed, if it is right in the middle either one is fairly negligible.

I have a speed sliced Scythe it's 175/333 spd is 1.9 and I'm perfectly happy with it. I really think once you reach Master it doest matter about a few points here and there, as you can pretty much solo anything, anywhere whether using damage or speed sliced scythe.
