Ah, I misunderstood you then. You said 4 normal attacks would be on par with smashes, and I thought Invisible Loom cause I don't think many people really care about the others.
I'm still curious though. How does your invisible loom only hit 700 damage?

SP: Regeneration is actually about the most useless SP skill in the game... not that the discussion for it belongs here since it isn't a scythe skill anyways... But, you'd definitely want to be using Insane Reaper regardless.

Quake Hell is pretty awesome of a smash as well.

I only used my stats, which are pretty much the same as yours, just none of my skills.

I personally think the Critical Hit thing has been blown out of proportion.

Seconded.
It's useful for bosses and it's not like trash is that big of a deal unless you're speed running.
Even then normal attacks should take down trash as easily.

I dont want to hear a "higher boat" argument either. Bloody Thread kills everything with no problem.

Thirded.
I think Tasha pushes his/her opinions on the more controversial skills a little too much, and though this guide is already a good resource for beginners most beginners looking for a guide are looking for as unbiased a guide as possible from as neutral and experienced player as possible. I feel like the Critical hit section has too much personal opinion wrapped in it and beginners will probably take that as fact.

Int Mastery, Magic Mastery, and Agility Mastery as a last resort imo.

Standing Endurance is pretty important imo, but you can't get R9 until level 30 which is what you're really going after, which is a much much faster get-up that helps prevent you from getting gaycombololyoudeadnow'd by bosses.
It's more important than Agility Mastery though, and pretty crucial in of itself, so you should rank that.

What exactly am I pushing my opinion on.....?
Note: Critical Hit isn't even my own opinion. I tend to agree with it though.

critical hit. newbies are very impressionable, so the idea is to not make it sound like the end of the world when someone accidentally got it to A or something, when it really isn't. some people started threads asking if they should start over because of that, even after reaching cap.
basically, more discretion is needed P:

Maybe get a section just for Critical Hit going through both the PROS and cons of it. Though I agree with the idea that it should never be ranked, lots find it biased apparently o.0
Pros:
-increased chance of knocking down bosses
-drains more when Scythe 2 crits
Cons:
-harder to deal with trash mobs
