Was wondering if this is the new best weapon on DRK (for now).
Does it beat Bereaver 15 or Senbaak? Anyone been able to test it yet?
I know it's early days, but I reckon someones already had this for a couple of days and tested it lol.

I know dovev has it and senbak. I see his using it alot but im not sure how well entrophy stacks against reso
Entropy lacks a bit to Reso but it's not completely useless. Tie that with getting tons of MP back on each WS, and it means DRK has no MP issues at all. This is very useful as you can spam Stun, Absorbs, Endark, Drains and Dread Spikes at will.
I could only imagine what a Last Resort/Souleater/Blood Weapon would be like with this weapon.

Try sending him a pm hes a pretty cool guy
This weapon is only relevant when major acc/attack deficiencies are present.

It'll likely be best when soloing or doing newer content with suboptimal buffs. Keep in mind that next update, senbaak and friends will also be receiving skill boosts: the item level is a nice hint that it's not worth sinking huge amounts of time/effort into.
For delve bosses, keep in mind that buffs will be scaled to the weakest DD. Unless your whole group is using the current skill+188 weapons, it's just going to be largely superfluous because you'll be buffed as if you didn't have it.

So would you say having the weapon isn't really worth me going out of my to level/gear my DRK? I don't have any other weapon at a point where it'd be any good for farming high tier Delve so was wondering if I'd actually get more mileage out of gearing DRK than I would spending 20M on Rigors for my MNK or whatever.
I got the Scythe after fighting Derpkan, wanted the hat. >_>

At best it allows you to use an HP+ food for additional safety, which hardly justifies sacrificing Resolution
Fun toy. Only useful when acc/att is terribly low, which is about never.
I still want one to play around with but it has no practical use.

I got one today. What I will say is it will save you money on sushi, I started a delve run at around 75 under cap and had no acc issues other than the normal periods of capped mob evasion. Standard melee hits with drk/war self buffs are around 500-600 in semi-decent gear (without souleater). Without having geared for it at all and just using my TP set my best Entrophy was 4k, average was around 2.5k.
Take that info for what you will, I would say its a great option for fighting the cricket nm since you cant WS anyway.

I really like the way this Scythe looks.
Just feels like it's something a BLM would use and not a DRK (feathers and stuff!)

Scythe for sorcerer or necromancer not a knight scythe :p
what are we going to do with all these daurs when our boss weapons end up with +235 skill next month
RlP Daurdabla Fantasy XI
Jokes aside, Scythe looks amazing, so it will be interesting to see how the Delve version turns out.

4-hit viable, and no excuses about low accuracy.

Stupid ones at that. Even whilst in the spirit of unoriginal and unnecessary sarcasm.
