I'm looking at you, Enhancement Shaman imbuing their weapons with Elemental magic.

I fixed that for you

It's a magic book with sacred geometry. Also casters have been using tomes, grimoires, spell books, etc... in fantasy for forever so...

If we're talking Fantasy here, which we shouldn't forget, then we could definitely say the same about scythes. Though scythes do have more historical advantage in that they were often used by peasants in many rebellions and uprisings. At the same time, there is such a thing as a "war scythe."

I respond with my videos linked in which Lloyd painstakingly explains exactly how...that's not true.

War Scythes have the blade rotated 90 degrees, making them more closely resemble a glaive than something silly like a Grim Reaper. War Scythes are not what you're asking for.

You don't swing a scythe in the same manner the way you'd swing a great sword. It'd look very awkward with the current DRK animations unless they came up with new ones (which is a lot more development time if we're talking animations).

Not to mention while scythes were historically used, they are far from practical compared to pitch forks due to the unwieldy nature of it, and war scythes are basically lances at that point.

not my problem that you need a notebook which tells you how to use your skills, I however defend myself with a scythe and use spells at the same time, I am so much cooler.

1) No you don't. There aren't any scythes in this game for combat. If you defend yourself with a Scythe as a Botanist while threshing wheat...pretty sure anything at level will kill you.

2) By default of saying "I am so much cooler" you are automatically not cool at all.

It is the words in the book, not the book itself


Try it with silencing the Summoner and look how much damage he can do (without the pet)

Wouldn't be a shield better?
