Its not like its an uber weapon like the Ns energy lane, just a nice addition to the swordman arsenal. Id like to propse to make it a permanent schem but keep the looted parts for cores etc. I know we can all run the scythe quest twice so possibly make 4 but with durabilty these will all be gone soon.

look at this.


like riflemen need MORE love.


it was made with krayt tissue but still......it's better than our elite weapon.


im pretty sure im dropping swordsman if i don't get a decent scythe.


the kinetic dmg is just pathetic.

wel true! i was hoping to get more Dmg something like the powerhammer, i have been looking for the BEST res for a long time now, and used ALOT of money getting them and paying ppl to get scythe sce to me. so i REALY hope that i get some good dmg, just whaiting for some Yellow cubes now! and the mind cost on the scyhte i to HIGH! its going to kill me fast the only good ting scythe have is a good min dmg (in PvP) but i dont think im going to use it mutch in PvE way to low dmg and sice many good NPC have good rest againt Kinetic its not going to be great



Sow lets hope that the cubes is getting better! and the new loot to PH is getting live soon

The scythe is a nice pvp weapon, i have made some with +10 hit mods at all ranges, which for a decent damage weapon, is good for us. I also have a weaponsmith char so i have a double interest in this. best ive made so far was 345 max 2.6 speed, which isnt uber, but still nice. This is the main reason i want the scythe schem to be general use.

Also, the pikeman elite weapon, the nightsister energy lance has (5) uses, and you can make as many as you like, of course asl long as you are willing to keep killing axkva min solid for about a month for the schems and parts. The DXR-6b tenloss disrutor rifle, from the genosian dungeon can be made as many times as you like, each schem has (5) uses but you can get a new schem everytime you go there. If you all agree please reply, lets get summin going on this.

/agree. I just got swordsman a couple of days ago and made battlemaster last night. As soon as I make a bit of a higher level I am going to the caves and building my scythe. I hope that i find someone with excellent materials, cuz what if I end up getting shafted and get a **edit**ty weapon? Granted you can do the mission twice, but that's only four weapons. I dunno, I guess we will never be happy and always want something more

haha, uber weapon? The only thing uber is the totally sweet looks of it. Useage is however so borked(pathetic damage), I would rather have it put on my wall than risk decay because of its silly droprate.


Now with the new clasps they have implementedas part of the new nightsister loot, the droprate is even smaller. Last Elder I killed gave me 3 heavy duty clasps

The scythe has better damage potential, better speed, better armor piercing than the energy lance. I don't see how the energy lance is more "uber". And 5 uses does not mean as many times as you like, it's obviously limited to 5.

The components for the energy lance drop much more rarely than the components for the scythe, so that may be the reason why the scythe schem only allows 2 uses. People have killed Axkva for a month and never got one of the required pieces, whereas I spent 10 minutes at the Lab and got enough sword cores and cubes to build half a dozen scythes.

Has anyone looted a schematic from the lab? I thought that was where StGabe got his first one on TC.

yea, the master schem is limited to 5, but you can go back and kill Axkva min as many times as you like for more schems if your lucky, can only reset your tat quests once, hence 2 schems, 4 scythes per person

/agree

These arnt that powerful to where we only can have upto 4 in our careers.... unless we pay some stoopid amount of money for them... paying for either the schem. or sword will put us in the PO-house

Then again, the summary on the front page says there is a rebel contact in the Kor Vella hotel, and there is no one by that name there.....so who knows? At this point, I only believe what I see/experience, not what they tell me.
