When we refer to presliced weapons, it is refering to before the point of purchase not before the slice.

Never sell scythe's unsliced, that's what I used to do until I found out someone was coming to my vendor buying themand getting them sliced and making 500k off of my work.
I wouldn't slice them. A speed slice ona scythe will severly lower its value as will a poor damage slice. Most players want to think that they are going to pull a big enough damage slice to breat 400 max, but if you slice it for the mid teens, it ain't going to happen unless you had used some great yellows and paste.
This will only be true to a speecapped Swordsman. And since a master swordsman has 75 speed (+5 with Master Brawler) you have 80 speed and you need 95 to cap. With the FS melee speed you have and extra +12 so 92 speed, still not capped. With a +3 speed tape you are finally capped.
So a speed sliced Scythe is really worth it for an unspeedcapped Swordsman, since you will do a considerable amount more damage with a 35% speed sliced than with a 35% damage sliced if you are not capped.
Check killyourpc.org/swg for calculation, you will see that with master swordsman and Master Brawler you will do more damage/second with a standard sliced PH 137-469 damage (speed with 35% speed slice 3.5) than with an Acklay PH after slice 300-800 damage and 5.9 speed. Once you speed cap speed isn't an issue anymore, so the more damage the weapon has the better.
Hope that helps

Agreed.. It is just easier to avoid "Pre" and use either Already or UN

With a standard 2.6 speed scythe on a master, 75 speed swordie, you cap the speed on quite a few of the specials, if not you're off by maybe .1 second, and I can live with that, vs doing 100 damage less each attack.
Damage > Speed.
