“Ethereal Scythes have been changed to crushing weapons.”
A crushing, bladed… scythe. I guess if you leave it out in the raid for a decade or so and never sharpen it 😛
Right! My guess is mainly from crushing skills being ever so slightly higher than slashing and such.
Warriors aren’t the smartest you know…. It’s crushing if you hold the wrong end and swing 😉
Isn’t the scythe the mage weapon? Mages don’t like slashy-slashy-stuff. Well…better to make it crushing than have art remove the blade, it’s quite good looking.
Blood Hammer (HQ) is slashing and it only took me 2mins in a dummy increase the skill 🙂
But you are willing to work for it, most are not.
if someone is lucky enough to win the Ethereal, they SHOULD be willing to put in a few minutes skilling up.
If they are not, I say sucky hit rates are warranted.
