Evie: The Battle Scythe

• aznhick wrote on 2010-11-22 02:26
  For the new patch by December 1 the lvl 44 set that will be available requires Rank B cloth mastery.
  
  Also, why is agility mastery in the guide if you placed the red marker on F rank, which is basically "buy the book?"

  It's low priority, but it's recommended that you buy the book

  Not really seeing as you can get mass amounts of AP anyways.

  I'm not sure what that one does. I've read that it only affects normal hit crits, but then I've also read only hammers can get normal crit hits. I also read nothing gets normal crit hits... and then, there's the description.
  
  But then, since all smashes are considered magic attacks for Evie, I'm guessing it's probably not gonna work for us?
  
  Not enough conclusive data, really.

  The description says...critical hit cannot be activated off normal attacks, and evie's "bold" spells. I think they meant to say "bolt" spells. Well I don't think Evie's Scythe smashes are bolt spells. Even though they are considered magic, a smash does not equate a bolt -.-.

  Crit Mastery works on Physical Crits.
  Evie smashes are segmented, part physical, part magical.
  Physical part of Evie smash would trigger Crit Mastery.
  
  That's what I think.

  I think Evie's scythe attacks can deal physical crit when she's lifting up her scythe for the smash attacks because they are physical.

  I'm adding this soon, I've had it typed up for hours... just haven't gotten around to doing the pictures.
  
  

  Stamina Recovery
  You need to get Rank D for Magic Mastery. However, Scythe Users cannot use this skill. So other than that, do not invest in this.
  
  [s]Critical Hit
  I'm not sure what that one does. I've read that it only affects normal hit crits, but then I've also read only hammers can get normal crit hits. I also read nothing gets normal crit hits... and then, there's the description. But then, since all smashes are considered magic attacks for Evie, I'm guessing it's probably not gonna work for us? Not enough conclusive data, really. So, only rank it if you really want to. Since it may not affect us at all, you may not want to for now until more information is out about wha it does for us.[/s]
  
  Combat Mastery
  You get a significant boost to your normal hit damage, which is big since Scythe already has the highest normal damage in the game. Ranking it up would be good, but not a high priority. LLLL will do roughly about the same as an LLR with this skill at Rank A.
  
  Standing Endurance
  Not important and not a priority, but kinda useful. If you have nothing else, you may as well.
  
  Alchemy: Erg Transformation
  A lot of people overlook this, but I think it's kinda nice. 11 ergs that heal 90 hp, 990 hp just from a silly little pot is pretty nice. It only takes 570 AP total to max too.
  
  Eagle Talon
  It says we aren't supposed to be able to use this, but we can, and they can even with boat 7 in Korea. So, maybe it's just wrong. When you start running it takes 5 stamina every sescond until eagle talon kicks in, so ranking it will reduce the stamina drain when you run by a decent amount. There's also the whole... mine bomb blowing up stuff for fun thing. Not really a priority, but rank it if you really want.

  :l How is it that you dont know about Critical Hit for Evies? Anyway, the above posters were right in that it affects the small part of all her smashes, along with the entirety of LR.
  
  However, heres an interesting post from one of the more experienced KR players:

  Normally, everything that player says is not to be taken lightly. Minus opinions, of course.

  Mines are really nice for soloing in my opinion. Since Evie is a glass cannon, getting a wisp out without getting hit can become important on some of the more difficult solos. Dropping a few mines and luring will eventually stun a boss so you can get the little distraction ball out. Spears can do the same job too, but its more (for the lack of a better word) organic this way.
• PApalapagus wrote on 2010-11-23 02:59
  Its also incredibly time consuming and inefficient. Much easier to LLR for the same result.

  Thanks for that info. I updated the guide with that info along with the other things I said I was adding.

  Also... uhh... you know about Standing Endurance at rank 9, right?
  
  Ill never make another character without it after learning its "hidden" effect.
