Maybe its SE's way of making all scythe drk retire their scythes to use great sword & great swords only?
Yes, however years ago SE was worried about the fact that DRKs weren't using scythes at ALL. It has just about become that again with DRK. The reason for the worry? SE imagined that Scythes were DRK's signature weapon and people not using their signature weapon on DRK(in favor for GS or even GA) worried them.

Scythe Weaponskills, in general, need a boost.
