Category:Scythes

Overview

Scythes are two-handed weapons, and are the primary weapon of the Dark Knight. Beastmaster, and Warrior. Black Mage are also able to use scythes, though they typically favor other weapons. Scythes are a high damage and high delay two-handed weapon, and focus primarily on damage output over enfeebling weaponskills or additional effects.

The scythe's weaponskills are usually single or double hit attacks, although the infamous weaponskill Guillotine is a 4-hit attack. The single hit weaponskills generally have more reliable, although lower average, damage than multi-hit skills, but will benefit greatly from abilities such as Sneak Attack. When using Guillotine, however, it is important to remember that how many hits connecting determines a majority of the damage, so as with all multi-hit weaponskills, accuracy is paramount.
