I intend to have both, but was curious how much potential there was in Scythe vs. Greatsword, considering Resolution vs. Misc Scythe Weaponskills.

Does the higher damage/higher delay scythes have potential to overtake Resolution spams?

No. Even with entropy, no.

Get a bereaver.

Scythes sadden me. There are three scythes that are good, well two now: Liberator and Apocalypse. Twilight was awesome until they nerfed it to make it useless.

I personally liked twilight because the looks of it, just looked mean you know?

The scythe and the cloak are both quite archane looking pieces, brings back visions of nocturnus. Sucks to have such a useful piece of gear basically killed off for no real reason.

Only Scythes worth using are Apocalypse and Liberator pretty much. Catastrophe and Insurgency AM is utilization paradise

I could be bothered to revise my statement to "for now". I still use scythe for some things where I'd rather be alive with lower DPS than dead half the fight.....

He did say "which of the reive weapons is better" though (and said reso vs. RANDOM SCYTHE WS to boot).

I guess I was the only one who noticed this says Reive instead of Delve. I assume he meant Delve though.

My vision blurred for a second ;A;

As for the topic: any GS is better than a scythe at this point unless its apoc.If its apoc, always go with apoc.

if youre using scythe and its not an apoc, youre wrong. Even liberator right now really isnt as useful as it should be, if its not an apoc it should be a bereaver (or other viable gs)
