  I have a lvl 34 Evie and I still have Blood Silk Armor, I was wondering if you had any plans to make an armor guide in the future because you did such an excellent job on the skills guide and that has helped me alot but i have no idea when to buy new armor and what i should buy...

  
  
  I did make one, and no I don't plan to do one in the future (or even update that one for that matter).
  
  Though I will say, Blood Silk is a really horrible armor.
  
  You can basically go from Sweetie Bear or Broken Ash right to Rose Drop, I think. After that, it's whatever has the highest Def/INT combo. At 60, it's Vehemence hat/chest/skirt and midnight wedding gloves/boots. That gives highest INT/DEF/HP.
  
  Before that, you'll get um... Royal Cadet for free from a quest, and it's pretty good. So after Rose Drop, you don't really need to buy anything till Vehemence/Midnight Wedding.
  
  Temptress looks nice, but... it's not massively worth it, stat-wise. You'd only really bother if you want the looks. You do want the earrings though, if I recall correctly...

  If you have the excess money/have collected enough drops, I'd go for it.
  Could always get Lighter Red Tyrant, though.

  Honestly, armor doesn't even matter until Rose Drop and beyond. The benefits are insignificant and the mobs/bosses don't do enough damage to really need armor. You can go naked for all it really matters. So, really... you don't need to waste your money.

  I'm curious, but what's your opinion on the new skills that were added? And generally (because I tend to get in a lot of arguments on this one), if you're planning on going for the highest DPS possible, would you recommend cloth or light? Because people say strength/attack matters more, but I'm not quite sure I believe that, especially with smashes >.< I'm a wimpy level 55 Evie who has been trying to learn Scythe, and your guide helps a lot >.<
  
  Finally, do you have any just "in general" tips you could give for scythe game play? Thanks >.<

  Strength/attack doesn't matter more than int/magic attack.
  Odds are you're going to be using a combination of cloth/light for a while, so you'll end up r9ing both for the level 61 stuff. If you haven't already, try playing with attack in direction of camera off. It gives you a lot more control over your character, in my opinion.
  I wouldn't bother with Demon Splitter until you have nothing else to put points in, and I'm leaving Blade Shift at E until I get Intel Mastery to rank 6.

  If you have everything else that you need maxed, then go for it?
  Smash/Insane/stuff like that still takes higher priority imo.

  Yes you should. Eventually.

  Mark of Death and Bloody Thread are both snap moves.

  Hello there opinion one these:
  Blade shift
  and
  Demon Splitter?

  Might want to consider not getting blade shift at all, since you'll have to wait a bit b4 snapping after a blink if u get it.
  
  If you get demon slpitter to rank 9, Life Drain will go from a 9 down to a 5 on the uselessness scale, since it's not as dangerous to use it with the second hit of demon splitter(has better range), and you're more likely to crit with 2 attacks than 1(LD drains more if demonsplitter crits).

  I wouldn't see them being really useful early on. Stick with Smash Mastery/Insane Reaper/all your other top priority skills. The damage from Blade shift isn't half bad, but Demon Splitter's second slash is pretty pathetic at R9 as far as I've seen.
