  I defiantly think so too. Muahah
  
  On a more serious note, these guides are interesting and all, but assuming with an unlimited funding or amount of time everyone's skills will max out anyway. The problem is an order to which ones to max first. The most useful thing I can think of for a guide is a priorities list with actual numbers to list which goes over what that just assumes everyone is max level. Getting to 38 right now isn't all too daunting a task anyway.
  
  All I got out of this was just a list of every skill that could possibly used by a scythe Evie. Which reminds me agi mastery should go before strength or pretty much anything for that matter. Telling people that they could wear heavy armor is just going to make more people who want to tank when you give them a priority with blink which is clearly an evasion skill. I don't have anything against people wearing heavy armor, but I don't want to see a bunch of heavy armor wearing idiots getting murderized because they didn't learn to evade before they added heavier armors.

  Honestly, I'm not gonna lie... it's not much of a guide just yet. It's just a listing of the skills so far and I'm not even done with that. I'm actually going to have to revise the description of some of those in light of things that have since come up after the the time of writing.
  
  I'll put them in order of priority later tonight as well.
  
  By the way, I've seen a lot of you mention Insane Reaper. I agree it's a good skill, but I don't have it yet (35), so that's why it isn't added.

  It is still rather helpful, specially since I was still trying to grasp what was more important, str or int.

  Life drain beats smash mastery in ranking priority? o.0 I could've sworn the dmg and health drained of demon splitter was negligible.

  IMO, Smash Mastery and Magic Critical have higher priority thatn Life Drain and Mark of Death since they apply to pretty much all your smashes.

  But which would be ranked first, smash mastery or magic crit?

  You'll mostly be using smashes for a long time, so smash mastery.
  
  edit: Aaand whoops... Pasted from the wrong Notepad++ tab. It should be the right revision now.

  well i put mark of death first before magic crit, assuming its useful for a moment where u couldn't lay hands on boss (because of aggresivity or something else) or when u need to clear mobs that needs more than just one LLR smash(its a lot easier to just snap a room full of knight vampires)
  
  i meant, it doesn't hurt at all to rank mark of death to A, u got 4 marks, higher damage, and it doesn't cost much AP anyway:awesome:
  
  NP : i think on the long run, insane reaper is worth the maxing as it gives attack speed boost by 10% to ourself and our teammates
  just IMO though:what:

  I have to disagree with the mark of death =\ I leveled it to B for the 4 marks and I regret it. There's very little usage for it on bosses, because you will very seldom find a stage with multiple bosses of the same name. It is also one of the slowest smashes Evy has, which makes it hard to connect with, except when fighting an extremely slow boss or someone who falls down for an extremely long time. I find the LLR smash to be a lot faster and much more useful. Though the drain for that doesn't really need to be leveled. As a result, ranking Smash mastery might be a better idea since you'll increase the damage of the LLR itself.
