Guild Wars 2

A made a thread on the thief forums about how, in my opinion, scythes should be introduced and given to two classes: Thief and Necromancer Scythes For Thieves. Thief mainly because a scythe is a ninja weapon in various media but ultimately, the necromancer should wield this fantastic weapon So before I go on, this is indeed a melee two-hander, I also speculate that if introduces, it will be the fastest of the two handed melee weapons, and it can cleave up to three targets. I please urge you to read the thief version first as, like with daggers, the scythe moves are similar to an extent I also tried to give you guys mobility Constructive Criticism is welcome to avoid amazing OPness

I would rather have spear work on land. It’s already in game, they just need to make it available on land with land abilities.

i love this idea, but i’d prefer it to be a power weapon. absolutely love the last skill suggestion and i don’t think it’s overpowered at all. just look at warrior’s fear me.

Thank you for the feedback Yeah my goal was to make it a power based weapon but as for the numbers I was a little unsure :S and for the skill Blood Loss, even though it says it in the description, it does in fact NOT cause bleeding. the idea was that they’ve lost so much that they are dizzy. but I you have any suggestive tweaks Ill by happy to edit them

Ah I see what you mean. A skill focused on one build is rather sub-par, perhaps I can tweak the dmg, afterall compared to HB it is rather weak :p

My kingdom for a Scythe! I don’t mean if it will be a power or condi weapon (oh well i would prefer a cleave weapon btw). I love your suggestion about skills except for the #5, 3 second aoe fear on a terrormancer with 100% fear duration it would be just LOL.

Haha, yeah I just realized this, seeing as how Reaper Protection as it stands procs the longest fear :p idk if this would synergize with a fear build though, would definitely be interesting to see if it could, IF WE COULD HAVE A SCYTHE
