From what i noticed was DMG on weapon matters not on Infernal Scythe. I believe STR does play a factor in Dmg output but not by much. MAB is a Huge modifier.

This all being said. I was exping on IT++ Mandies in Abyssea it just turned earths day so no extra bonus from what i saw. With access to Alot of MAB and + INT gear that is accessable now to drk
I believe just by using Bahamut Zaghnal or any other OaT-3+ scythe
Drk could probly throw around some decent numbers and do it fairly fast. I can See Drk/drg using Bahamut Zaghnal being alot of fun and even stronger in areas like limbus/dynamis were theres alot of dark weather.

Im assuming Infernal Scythe has some hidden str modifier like almost every other WS does. so stacking Str in spots where U dont have +INT and MAB would help push the numbers. If i was hitting 469 with just normal TP gear and 586 with just Ascetic's Tonic. Imagine with that atma +30% MAB and i know theres more for INT.
Not to mention DRK AF3 boots, AF2 body, AF2 Hands, Moldy/Novio and all those other slots I know drk can fill for INT/MAB should be able to spam in abyssea atleast up towards 1k dmg Infernal Scythes with Enough gear, Atma, Cruor enhancements and Temp Items. Add in Endark on a BZ and it looks like ALOT of Infernal Scythe Spammage.

BTW Does Endark Stack with Jump on Mutli hit weapons? if so thats pushing the dmg output even higher.

Now if Drk can only get a scythe like drg gets that spear that attacks Oa2-5 times^.^


Does anyone know roughly how much MAB does Ascetic's Tonic gives?

Old news is old.

One of the uses for infernal scythe is when a mob has invincible up, this ws will do damage despite the 2 hour.

I didnt even think about that. HAHa does it go through shadows?

If U mean by INT/MAB/ and possibly hidden mod by Str is old news than yes i can agree.

The big issue that I didn't know before though was a 24 dmg scythe and a 105 dmg scythe using Infernal scythe does the same damage. I think thats big news and even if its old news Its New News on FFXIAH forums cause it has yet to be mentioned here. And I dont like how BG forums are now Maybe 3 years ago i was more likely to go there but its harder to navigate for me than XIAH is so I use these forums only.

Why would you DRK/DRG when you have DRK/SAM for a 2handed weapon?

Infernal scythe does not go through shadows or stoneskin, just invincible.

Does anything go "through" stoneskin?

It's been old news that weapon damage doesn't affect magic WSes for at least 6 years now.
