If we go by skinnycheeks spreadsheets https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10WPD0iCxTEdCYPr3653XdaFVXt_xN9p1BAe51xX6VW4/edit#gid=375442096

Venom skull does more dmg 2419 vs 2184.
but this leaves me curious because Scythe applies off balance, and there's a cp buffing dmg vs offbalance 10% and dual wield passive might also buff it https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/ruffian

This means scythe could do 2402 dmg and 2730 if passive ruffian buffs it + it's aoe and heals you. Downside is you lose some execute crit chance 4%
So what do you guys think of scythe?
I am @fluffypallascat pc eu if someone wants to play together
Shadow strike is the best cp passive ever!

    I wouldn't use scythe because OB can easily be applied by the tank. Also scythe doesn't contribute to death knell.

    I was getting on here to ask this same question. Think I might give the scythe a try. Think its better for trials and dungeons since it can hit multiple enemies and heal you. Single target damage skills in my opinion don't have to much use compared to skills that hit multiple targets unless you hit dummies.

    I like the Scythe but you won't benefit from the DW passives.

    Unlike most of the other weapons, you only get DW bonuses to DW abilities.
