I'd like to start a poll concerning our Scythes and what other Swordsman thoughts are about it. I'm a Master Heavy Swordsman since late August,'03 on Gorath, so i'm not new to the class.

1. Heavy Armor Piercing

OR

2. Cold Damage

Cast your vote, it might get noticed from the devs or TH. I swing my 700dmg hammer 1 per sec, with spd of 100 and not a master brawler.This made the scythe useless to me with kinetic damage. There are quite a few swordsman out there that already capped the spd with there hammers.

While I am incredibly new to the profession, I do see your point. I should be cap'd on my hammer relatively shortly, and to be honest, there's just something about the hammer that I prefer in combat. Sure, I carry the scythe in town…but generally I'd rather use the hammer. Just feels more solid to me, I guess.

I don't know that AP3 would be too great an idea, it's been tossed around in a few of the other threads I've been reading here and I've seen some good arguments against it—as far as for it…well, yes, we are supposed to be heavy hitters…but it still seems a bit extreme to me. I like the idea of an alternate damage type, and since cold is (as far as I know of) pretty rare it could give us a bit of uniqueness. I like that.

To make the Scythe unique and to conquer another problem, I think it needs to have a better accuracy mod. I've got my Scythe with +13 at all ranges, but I specifically asked a WS to worry about Dmg and Acc only. I think this needs to be bumped up to 20-30acc mod if not more. It would make a big difference between a heavy dmg inaccurate weapon and a lower dmg accurate weapon, each would have proper drawbacks.

Ranged people can switch between long range and short range guns giving them up to a +60acc mod or more on some guns, why not have that type of precision with a melee weapon?

If you are worried about accuracy I would suggest not becoming a Pikeman. Our accuracy mods can be -31 at 0m, not sure how that makes sense.
