Drk Solo 3way Light with a Scythe!

...............................If your already a Drk/Sam @ Lvl-80 then by now you are already enjoying Self SkillChaining with the Job ABility Sekkanoki:. Example: Guilotine --> Insurgency = Compression (Some of us Drks could already do this before the Level Increase) However with Sekkanoki you can now Solo Light with 3 Weapons SKills on a Scythe! This requires an Icarus Wing so your best bet to test this out is in Campaigne . There you can get as many Icarus Wings as you want from an NPC with Allied Notes with no Medication Effect. This can also be done without an Icarus Wing but it is much harder to pull off. Anyway here's the SkillChain Order: Guilitine--> Shadow Of Death--> Insurgency = Light Have fun. ~BAM

The Three Essential Scythes for Non-Apocc Darks.

Bahumuts Zagnel: (30 Second Zerg Weapon) ..............SO you don't have a Kraken Club and you're like fuck those Ridell and Mercurial Kris toot'n bitches. Your a regular ole' Scythe lovin DRK. Well then the Bahumuts Zagnel was taylor made just for you. If your LS does not do the BC that drops this. Then go farm some Cloud Evokers from the ENM "Sheep in Antlions Clothing" and make a deal with one of your friends who's LinkShell does. Ultimatium: (/Nin /Thf /War Weapon) ..............Thanks to some assistance from our Obsidian LinkShell friends. Kreoss, Manders, and I have succesfully completed the newest Ultimatium Trial on Sunday. Thus turning our Scythes from 105 into 107 DMG Weapons. ..............Next we each need to collect 30 specific Drops from Walk Of Echoes and/or Abyssea to complete the last available Trial which turns them into Emperial Weapons sporting 113 DMG. Who knows how long that will freak'n take /sign. However completing this last Trial will change the Delay on the Weapon from 528 to 502. This permantly destroys any future possibility of a "working" 5-Hit Build. Luckily I have a solution. I will keep this as my regular 6-Hit Weapon and work on a secondary Weapon 5-Hit Weapon. Unfortunetly the Ultimatium was alot of hard work and I really don't want to do it twice /Sign. but looky what I just found..... Reckoning: (/Sam Weapon) ..............Wow how the hell did I miss this from the Update. All new Magian Trial Weapons that start @ Lvl-80 instead of Lvl-75. This Reckoning Scythe is perfect. On top of 105 DMG, the needed 528 Delay, it also has Store TP+7. That's Freak'n Awesome! This will allow the use ACC food instead of Carbanara for a 5-Hit Build! This means I can Cap ACC, while using max available Haste Gear, and still have a 105 DMG Weapon. ~BAM! ...But that's not all.... .............. it get's even better. This Weapon only has 4 Trials not 10 like Ultimatium and they are easy as hell. I already did Trial# 1503 this morning before work in 45 Minutes. Basically everytime you use the specified Weapon Skill you get a point! I was getting 3-4 points per mob! 1) Trial# 1503: 100, Exp giving, Any Mob Type (NightMare Scythe) 2) Trial# 1504: 200, Exp giving, Any Mob Type (Spinning Scythe) 3) Trial# 1505: 300, Exp giving, Vermin Mob Type (Vorpal Scythe) 4) Trial# 1507: 800, Exp giving, Aquian Mob Type (any Weapon Skill) That is all for today. See you Online! ~BAM

Next 75.... PLD

PLD 74->75: ................Soon my PLD will be 75 and I can team up with Kreoss and Sap on the Magian Sword Trials (-5% Physical Damage Taken). Then I can start working on my PLD Gear Builds. As you can see I already have a shit-ton of PLD equipable Gear to choose from. 5/5 PLD Artifact Gear (1/5 on +1 Version) 1/6 PLD Relic Gear 5/5 Ares Set 5/5 Homam Set 5/5 Iron Ram Set 5/5 Crimson Set 4/5 Heca Set (no laughing) 4/5 Askar Set 3/5 Shadow Set (only 1 is uncursed) 2/5 Koenig Set 1/2 Valhalla Set Ritter Gorget Terror Shield Misc.

I fiqured this way I can Main-Hand the "Atonement" Sword, Sub the "Trial of Magian" Sword, and at the same time build up a PLD Buffer. ~BAM ..................Anyway when all is said and done, I will need to earn some PLD endgame Skills.
