  Granted it won't always be something you will aim for and get, but you might want to include heavy armor. Right now I'm personally rolling on my evie with 5/6 BP set and its really good for her. Given that you enhance items and get the right mastery (Weight and Heavy) you can wear pieces of heavy armor at times.
  
  Oh and you forgot to put Insane Reaper. Rather big Scythe skill to miss considering its use. I know your guides not finished but figure that be one you should make sure to place up there.
  
  Missing critical and Magic crit but again, I know your guides not set there. Could go on about missing skills but figure Insane Reaper is the big important one.

  I don't see some of the better scythe skills in the shop either, do I need to reach a certain level before they show up or are they not in the game yet?

  You're gonna have to be a bit more specific. What skills?

  Yeah, there's a lot I haven't added. It'll take me awhile, but it's gonna continue improving. I spent most of the day on it and it's where it is now. The things that weren't added aren't because they aren't important. It's just impossible to include everything in one sitting.
  
  It'll improve as the days go on though.

  How are you sorting them...? The order in which the skills are displayed seem pretty random...
• Purutzil wrote on 2010-11-05 21:29
  Well I understand you are working on it but I must say Insane Reaper is definitely a skill that is important hands down for her. Its her only SP skill as Scythe till 52 and as a SP skill its rather good for a group. Both critical are very important for her, at least to get to Rank E at minimum. Agility Mastery is up there with Strength and Int (though definitely not as high) since with evie it adds magic crit AND stamina regeneration. Life flare can be argued to be good as well.
  
  Really I understand your working on the guide but saying they aren't 'important' you really are missing a bit of substance behind Scythe Evie and how she works. Heavy armor I can see not really having value or meditation but others you don't have you just can't really classify them as being bad.

  I think you're really missing the point. I'm not saying that anything that wasn't added isn't important. I'm saying that you can't expect me to just add everything instantly, whether it's important or not.
  
  It "can be argued" that just about every single skill available to Evie is good. But I'm not going to add them all right at this very moment.

  Death Label(I still refuse to call anything by the NA names :c) is actually pretty useful on bosses that will attack before you can pull of a Bloody Thread, since the time difference between pulling off a Death Label and marking and pulling off a Bloody Thread and marking is pretty significant.

  BTW Lots of testing has been done as to what affects scythe smashes and extended smashes. LR is physical, the rest are magic based meaning for the most part strength and regular att is useless for Evie. This is doubly confirmed by the fact that the MH's got a patch that converted all of her smashes except LR to m.att and we received this patch upon the scythes release so we didn't have to deal with the hybridization of her gear. The testing is on the official vindictus forums if you want to confirm.

  Also mention that snaps work better while moving you dont stop to have your face crushed in, unless you're doing a definate finisher to a boss. Then looking cool can be good too...
