I just started this trial today after realizing this scythe had 7 Store TP on it. Was just curious about what people thought about the scythe in general.
Reckoning RareEx
[Main] All Races
DMG:105 Delay:528
Store TP +7
LV 80 DRK
I understand that in order to 5-hit this scythe it requires 39 Store TP, 15 from /sam and 24 from Gear.
In the the past the main reason a 5-hit was looked down upon was you ended up sacrificing way too much ACC just to maintain the build and had to eat Carbonara which made it not even worth it, but now with this scythe and Newer gear maintaining stable ACC and Haste gear does not seem that hard at all. You can even eat Pizza or w/e food you want with this scythe using the proper gear~
To maintain a True 5-hit you Would need...
Reckoning: +7
Rose Strap: +4
White Tat: +2
Brutal: +1
Rajas: +5
Goading Belt: +5
Ideal Gearset would look something like this
As You can see your not giving up or sacrificing any haste or ACC in any important slots other than bomblet~
This 528 Delay Build would also Build TP Faster than a 501 Delay 6-hit Build using VBelt.
Using FFXI Calc to see TP build it showed me that it would look something like this.
With Haste Hasso and 2x March
20% Gear Haste 528 Delay 5-Hit: 15 Seconds to 100 TP Swinging every 3.0 Seconds
21% Gear Haste 501 Delay 6-Hit: 16.8 Seconds to 100 TP Swinging every 2.8 Seconds
So you would have a 5-Hit Build and 4-Hit Return after WS, along with if you were Drk/Nin youd have an easy 6-hit only needing The Scythe, Rose Strap Brutal and Rajas.
This is the build that I am going to start aiming towards I am pretty sure it will wipe the floor with current Standard Scythe Builds. Only thing better that I can think of would be the OAT Scythe~
But im also curious as to what other people think about it.
