The only thing I dislike about scythes are the normal animations.
So so boring and lame.
Everything else is epic and awesome, but the normal attacks are just meh.

Now that I am using scythes, I see why everyone likes them so much. They are quite powerful.. I love smash 2 lol.

Its nice on Evie getting to crit twice, with both the smash attack (physical crit) and then finisher crit (magic crit). Its so satisfying getting a double crit and rocking down a bosses health. Really though her damage isn't as crazy as people make it out to be. She definitely fits in the catagory of Lann for being dps. Either way I think Scythe and Staff both even out eventually. Staff still has some amazing SP skill while also having ranged involved which only will be further boosted with additional skills in Evie's arsonal later on. Scythe does get magic threads but over-all won't be as versatile as staff evie.

I just wish they used different attack animations for scythe...they're pretty much the same as staff. :(

Scythe is cool and all, but I can't seem to get it right xD I'm probably too used to quick hits with quick cancels, ala Fiona. I've yet to solo a boss while taking minimum damage @_@ Her combos just take too long to execute in my opinion xD
Then again, maybe I'm playing a little too aggressively =P

When you get mark of death, it'll be more of a hit and run.

Doesn't the tiny dodge thing cancels out her moves like Fiona does? That is how I usually allow myself to do quick moves on the bosses while soloing. Also, Quake Hell (norm-norm-smash) has incredible range.

Not only that, It is extremely fast as well.

But it doesn't do much damage. I generally like to queue up LLLL and then smash the boss for massive damage.

The backstep Evie has is a lot better since you move, its free (so stam regen starts sooner to cover for not having combat respiration) and allows the ability to blink (so watch you stam as you fight). Try to use your normal attack to move a circle around enemies, I learnt this best by using Lann and now I dance around bosses~ Also the Soul Skewer, LLLR has a good range compared to the last smash (Quake Hell, LLR is for safety). Backstepping after an attack should be just as second nature to you as a Sword Fiona heavy canceling. Also be aware not pressing any arrow keys while backstepping will make you go backwards, which is further than when you press an arrow key while back stepping.

I like evie a lot! Right now stats sitting at 590 STR / 520 AGI / 709 INT / 412 WILL / 110 LUK! It's a fun char!

It does a decent amount of damage, Plus the speed makes up for the lack of damage.

Curse you people who've gotten good with the non-tanky playstyle! I have to say, Evy is definitely way different in comparison to Fiona, which is why I'm having so much trouble. All my friends who've gotten used to playing Lann find her to be quite easy, so it seems that there's a small parallel between a Scythe Evy and a Lann, who do a little jig and dance around enemies. While Fiona's a lot more of the "hold your ground and fight" type.
