If Eight 1.0 hits are too much, make it eight 0.75 fTP hits. SE has shown they can set the multiplier of secondary hits with Jishnu's Radiance and Last Stand, so I'll believe for now that Entropy is 0.75 on all hits.
How SE thinks Guillotine is still a competitive WS for Scythe and that the level 96+ WS for Scythe should be even weaker than that is completely beyond my comprehension though.
Eight hits, 0.75 each? Perfect weaponskill to make Scythe relevant and competitive without completely shoving Great Sword out. Insane Souleater damage at cost of poor scaling on hard targets.

The hitrate on 8 hits is by far the most damaging reason why I don't want this weapon skill set as such. I rather the values be raised because at 95% hitrate you are really going to have a hard time to hit all 8 of those hits as pure luck. That is if the accuracy cap hasn't been changed on any updates I have forgot to read lately.

as someone who leveled drk as his first job to 75, I'd like to say that as much as I like Guillotine, we need a scythe ws that is outright stronger, I don't know what exactly entropy needs, but right now guillotine is our best weapon skill in any situation, off hand I cant think of any weapon skill longer running in a position like that(there might be but I cant think of one atm), as to the subject of the mp recover, I really don't care, as a galka drk at 95 with 6 mp merits i have 293 mp, and i do fine between the bale collar and the occasional aspir, but regardless of whether they keep that part or not, it needs a damage boost, and I support this post
This is the old days of Dark Knight and why it got such a bad rep, also why i don't think 8hit WS is the answer..
DRK buffs up pops Souleater...
DRK uses WS the foe takes XXXX damage!
Foe turns around one shots DRK.....
DRK feels pretty good about himself...
Party... /facepalm
I do not play Dark Knight at all, but generally, scythe has always been especially lackluster comparatively to great sword (save Apocalypse). For what it's worth, I support the OP.
A big thanks to Kingfury for my signature!
I don't understand SE. If scythe is the strongest melee weapon in the game, why the heck do the weapon skills get outplayed by almost EVERYTHING in the game. I have been playing Drk for 5 years and let me tell you.. each of these version updates has literally created a "Dead Knight". This job is very close to being considered the oh so popular "loldrg". Why should a job be too disgusted to use its own main weapon? Drk is forced to result to sticking to a Great Sword, the king of all the Drk damage... SE please fix this job..
