[dev1049] New weapon skills SCY and GSD info ^^

[Rezeak]

Tested this outside abyssea

W/ Scythe
It is Guillotine Version 3
The bad
The DMG i found wasn't that much higher than Guillotine
Doesn't really compete vs Torclever

The Good
It restores ALOT of Mp i was getting 200-300 mp back a WS (100% tp 1.5-2k DMG)

imo just as a way to regain Mp it's good it's just sad that it's not that much better than guillotine DMG wise

Great sword WS

The bad
Weaker than torcleaver

The Good
Stronger than Spinning slash
w/ Souleater it puts out a huge amount of DMG (more than Torclever ^^)

Overall this fills a gap that was missing so imo is pretty win.


Summary The WS DMG wise doesn't beat empyrean but are useful and we can finally say good bye to guillotine lol.

As a side note when capped the mods are 85% INT Scythe and 85% STR Great sword (going on the merit info)

GS 5/5 Should have massive potential with STR mod.

Scythe WS seems pretty aweful, MP is rarely an issue and if you cast a lot then 1/5 merits should do just fine.

[Rezeak]

I kinda don't like the way Great sword trumps scythe in almost every way now except relic

single hit = Torclever
multi hit = Resolution

While i agree mp isn't a issue most of the time at least now if it ever is we can easily refill our mp

btw /SCH w/ impact was pretty fun to Entropy > impact(115%tp) > Entropy (useing aclarity)
(i know this is still useless but just saying for fun)

Was that testing done with 5/5 merits in each of the ws?

If its really just an INT mod WS, then even 5/5 isn't going to help it too much.

[Yuber]

Sadly that's true, just trying to get a gauge on whether or not I want to waste my merits on the scythe ws, though if it's putting out 3k+ like I read on ah.com then it's stronger than Quietus... Not that that's hard...

is the int mod confirmed?

[Taint2]

is the int mod confirmed?

I'm not counting anything as confirmed until the math gurus on BG pick the WSs apart, but JP forums have it as INT.

[Brolic]

wow that's unfortunate

[Nervosa]

Well, when you merit any of them it says "Adjust X bonus by 17%.", giving you a total bonus of 85% at cap.

Example:

Entropy
Lv.96 WAR/DRK/BST
Scythe skill 357 or greater.
Adjust INT bonus by 17%.

Going from that I'm gona guess yes, its an INT mod.
