I had one autosort to me today, needless to say I tossed it.

Its junk.

You should be aiming for a 5-hit with the STP scythe or OAT, no other scythe compares to those two.

I have a very hard time believing it procs on WS, ive seen what the scythe can do it just isn't impressive to me.

A 25% increase in WS frequency from a 5-hit should wipe the floor with this thing.

What did your testing consist of?

dont jump the gun caption happyface i did 3 WS in vunkerl(S) and saw stones go away like a sea weapon would take V stones.

also im not saying it's better than my reckoning +1. someone wanted it tested so i'm doing it, not bitching out the already-known better options

I would be all for it if it did proc on WS, I just figured Sea weapons dont proc on WS so why would these?

Think this would proc on Jumps for DRG? I'm sure it's worse than other options but seems like it could be fun to play around with.

The Quietus Scythe is up there as well, even the non-Empyrean one, just out of the weapon skills' extreme power.

Not sure if it's Better, but at minimum, it's a very close 3rd.

I personally endorse the 5hit reckoning. If anyone cares what I think. Magnus scythe is utter ***and just as valuable as virtue weapons back in the day.
