Scythes

I know this may seem weird request with all the other ever important ideas being flung around,
But could you guys work on giving BST more options in scythes around the 99 cap?
I'd like to have something a little better than a low damage mid-high delay scythe that bst are forced into using right now.
Maybe raising the jobs Scythe B- skill to a B+ along with giving it a few more native weaponskills.

Thanks,
Rabo

And give us Shadow of Death.

Or at least Guillotine.

if you want a multi hit merit Entropy

More scythes for beastmaster eh?

Well, the development team just told me that they do in fact have plans to add some new scythes to beastmaster's array of weaponry.

In regards to weapon skills, we are also planning to revamp each job's weapon skills in the future, but we can't make any promises about giving Guillotine and other EX weapon skills to beastmaster.

Good, don't!

Would like to see swift blade on more jobs like rdm and blu for abyssea blue proc reasons.

So long as a new WS was awarded to PLD. I think any A+ Skill should be rewarded with a completely unique WS.

Does this revamp apply to Empreal, Mythic, and Relic weapon skill's?

i think when you reach your cap on skill you should gain your last weapon skill (especially if it an A+ skill)

I would seriously love you if BST got access to Guillotine.

Giving bst a 2-handed option of a Scythe was really cool, until you got higher level and saw we had no WS's and no scythes we could actually equip. So some scythe options would be very good... if they are ever worthwhile.

Would any of the scythe weapon skills *Cough Quietus* be up for revamping? Seeing how terrible it is and all.

If all/most weaponskills would be revamped... I would only hope for Cloudsplitter to be adjusted. I might take my farsha out of storage that way, but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

This. It's a pain in the ass having to sub WAR on BST for red proc. Why should WAR's get SoD and not BST? If it were DRK onry maybe I'd see the reasoning...

Ah wow Thanks for this! Should be awesome to see exactly where the development team decides to take this.

By "revamp each job's weapon skills in the future" could this possibly mean they've finally decided to take a second look at weaponskills like Cloudsplitter?

This sounds incredibly promising. I hope "in the future" is soon!

Can one of those new Scythes be Redemption? Just an honest question, since it seems to be a complete joke for DRK make it a viable second for another job (like BST since it shares Farsha with WAR).

This is what he was referring to with new scythes for BST. Enjoy^^

And for the other 99% of use who didn't get one?

Personally I use an axe because scythe sucks, the only reasons I ever used them was as a toy or to ensure I didn't take hate from my pets back in the charm days. Honestly the only scythe I'd care for on BST is Apocalypse and that's because I already have it and the utility it provides would allow me to melee on a few NMs I currently let my pet do all the work on.

Shadow of Death? Really if you need to proc red why not bring people or come a job that actually has a decent amount of proc options?
Guillotine? Entropy...

That said, I don't see why BST didn't get put on the magian scythes they all suck when you compare them to axe combos so the argument of "balance" is nonexistent.
