Plaga Scythe

just got it yesterday. wondering 2 things. 1 how do you like it and 2 what is the best grip for it?

Its not a bad scythe, though I don't recommend using it in any situation where you have a DNC using Haste Samba, as the darkness proc cancels it. :\

I tend to stick with Pole Grip out of laziness, but there's several choices out there that would work. Depending on your x-build setup Rose Strap is an option.

Depends on your other gear, but sword strap for a 6hit or rose if you are aiming for a 5hit (not really viable without some big sacrifices).

528 delay scythe = Sword strap.

Reason:

You only need at least +16 StoreTP for TP and for WS, for a "true 6hit build/5hit rebuild." Using Sword strap would put you at a 512 delay and you would need at least +21 StoreTP for TP and WS, for a true 6hit/5hit rebuild, which is just the standard /sam,rajas,and brutal.

More STP/Grip reference here.

Edit: or Rose strap could be an option if you're going for a 5hit build but that requires more StoreTP and some very specific gear. You need 39 StoreTP for a true 5hit build (5hit/4hit rebuild) with a 528 delay weapon. Or a 37 StoreTP for a "6hit/4hit rebuild" (not a true 5hit build), as long as you land at least 3hits on Guillotine WS.

Don't you mean "true 7hit build/6hit rebuild".

You can't 5hit a 528 scythe with a sword strap.

huh?

I don't think I said anywhere that you could 5hit it with a sword strap. You can get a true 6hit with a sword strap with a 528 delay weapon though. With /sam, rajas, brutal.

It takes 6hits going from 0% TP, but it takes 5hits to get back to 100% TP after a WS... thus a "6hit/5hit rebuild" ,or just call it a "true 6hit" since the WS can count as a hit.

Brain fart.

I missed the rebuild bit.

lol np.

I feel bad for Giazz. I think he almost cut and pastes the same responses in every drk thread lol.

Copy and paste can be very useful sometimes! lol...
