    Scythe Weaponskills vs. Resolution

    Recently players have been talking about how amazing Resolution is again. It's able to do 30-40k damage consistently with high buffs and doesn't need to skillchain to be worthy.

    This means the Mythic Scythe I just made this year has serious competition. If I'm in a fight where I can't get 3000tp for the Aftermath, it's going to be a hard time keeping up with a WAR or DRK using Resolution.

    But I asked about Scythe Weaponskills way back when Resolution and the other merit weaponskills were introduced. How is it that DRK's A+ weapon does NOT get better weaponskill damage than someone using Resolution.

    Just a quote from someone who is using Resolution and is very, very knowledgeable on the mathematics and the formulas behind calculating weaponskill damage.

    "Petition SquareEnix to stop screwing around and fix Scythe Weapon Skills, tell them to fix Great Axe and Hand to Hand while their at it.

    Insurgency, raise WSC to 50/50

    Entropy, change to STR, DEX or VIT

    Cross Reaper, have fTP transfer on hits

    Quietus, raise fTP to 5.0 and have the def ignore effect changed to 30/50/70.

    Those would make Scythe kick ass and be competitive with other Super Weapon Skills in the game. "


    I'm not expecting anything to be honest. I made Scythe because I love the weapon, but whenever I get a Scythe I think is going to bring me the best damage in almost all situations, a new Great Sword is introduced, or Resolution starts pumping out great numbers again. Can we leave Resolution spams to the Warriors? While DRKs seek out Mythics and Relic Scythes and do just as well? It's not like WAR, PLD and RUN can't use Great Sword already. Please, make Scythe great for the first time in the history of FFXI.

    Please upvote this if you agree. I'm not saying I want Resolution nerfed, or DRK nerfed, or BLU nerfed, or for anything to be nerfed. Just a few changes to some weaponskills on jobs such as DRK, and even on other jobs like MNK and WAR (when using GA) who are really struggling at this point in the games life.
