Q_Q and here I thought scythes were cool and yeah sure do :O so how come I see relic Scythes drks spam Entropy on VW is it only good with relic?
What?
I wouldn't expect a apocalypse owner to swap over to a great sword unless the damage was vastly different. I'm guessing that they were spamming entropy over cata for the tp return? I could be wrong but I thought that with the damage bonus to relic ws on the higher level relics, cata blew out entropy.
On a practical note, entropy is far from as bad as people are claiming. Wroth scythe is good, granted not as good as the relic/mythic but situationally rivals/beats emp. Resolution wins for sheer damage on anything you can't autocap fSTR on - and even then it usually wins due to an extra hit and easier to gear. Entropy is useful for utility, for solo and such, but can also pull nice numbers, if less than reso.
While I'm not sure I agree with you on the rest of your statements in this thread, I am behind you 100% on this one. I use my crappy 85 redemption (to cap scythe which i've been lazy about :3) and pull decent numbers. When I use Wroth, it is in no-way "far behind" resolution. Couple that with the fact that you can make hit builds 1-2 swings faster with scythe over GS (depending on the sword) and it's nowhere near the difference others are making it out to be.
I wish I had finished 90 redemption before deciding to do apocalypse. I would love to clone myself and see how I would do in calad/redemption fight with my JA timing and gearing.
tl;dr: The "gap" isn't what people make it out to be. Keep a scythe and a GS on you and merit both. It's a marginal difference, not "should I level war or rdm as my main melee dd?".
