Give necro sythe execute scaling

FriendlyGuy · August 2023

Given that arcanist got a similar spammable that immoblizes, applies a unique debuff, heals, generates cruxes and has an execute scaling I think its fair to say that the necro sythe should receive the same type of execute scaling.

Yeah the flail is over there like giga chad and Hungry Scythe is the lonely virgin.

I'd play necro again if the scythe could do the things flail can do.

No, ZOS should instead change Cephaliarch's Flail (Abyssal Impact morph) because it is contradictory to ZOS' own combat philosophy. One ability should not immobilize, damage, heal and execute at the same time.

Agreed, Scythe could use at least the same execute scaling that Flail and Whirling Blades have. Or alternatively give it a different buff of equal strength, but execute on a scythe does seem extremely fitting.

I’m actually all for them overloading skills more instead of the scenario we have now on certain classes where each skill does one thing and you have no bar space to fit everything. On top of that you’re playing buff simulator instead of getting to use attack skills. That’s not fun. Arcanist is fun.

It would be cool if ZOS gave back Scythe’s ability to do Heal Absorption. It’s unique and fits Necro’s debuff playstyle.

Reverse Slice and Whirling Blades are plenty sufficient for melee AoE execute, we could use something more unique in my opinion.

For the purpose of having better access to both-barred Death Gleaning it should be something useful to ranged builds. Every single Gravelord skill is ranged. Meaning, if the class is given more impetus to frontbar a Bone Tyrant skill it should be useful on a ranged build.

Necro's execute is Death Knell, that's a fact. That it's inconsequential in PvP to me recommends improvements to Gravelord skills. We got a nice one with the cost reduction to Colossus but to me the recent boost to Venom Skull still really doesn't get it, one of the few skills that misses against an opponent not even springing or roll-dodging!
