What DRK's Best Magian Scythes?

I would definately go for the reckoning and a 5 hit build. (assuming you have proper gear for it) The new +50str +5%DA +regain atma favors reckoning more because it will let you cap FSTR on higher difficulty mobs a lot easier. This will negate some of the advantage of the OAT scythe because it has a much much lower FSTR cap. The fact the atma also gives regain and double attack favors reckoning as well. Also, you guys should realize that the addition of so much new double attack gear will gradually undermine the effectiveness of the OAT scythe be reducing the relative averages of additional attacks. This means that the higher double attack rating you get the more and more ineffective OAT will become.

Good post, but just for the record, the Double Attack effect from Atma of the Voracious Violet is actually 10%, not 5%, unless I was getting some phantom double attack somehow else when I tested it. (9.93% double attack rate over 2,000 attacks in Abyssea Party, brutal/pole not used, and this was before AF3+1 DRK head) Given the Haste Gear potential, the absolute power of Quietus and the availability of Atma, I have no qualms going out on a limb and saying Penitence +1 is the best Scythe currently for Dark Knight, as a Damage Dealer. Redemption obviously wins but let's think realistically as long as you can maintain a 6hit with the 501 Delay.

All that said was your a *** in the mornings also if your sleepy go to bed, and what about my dirt cheep STR earrings makes them a viable reason to rank my intelligence low?
