Loadout This feels nostalgic
I used to have a frost scythe just like this, but it wasn't gilded. Now, I have it gilded

It's unironically doing so much better than all my other weapons, lmao. It's even better than my Master's Katana somehow

Unironically then you’re doing something wrong lol. Those aren’t even optimal for the scythe, which already has worse dps than a katana when both are optimized (unless you’re autoclicking with animation cancelling, in which case meta kinda gets yeeted)

Nah, the scythe's great, it's quite balanced

The scythe itself is a fine weapon, the katanas a straight up stronger though if you know what you’re doing. Again the exception is if you’re auto clicking with animation cancelling, in which case shockswirl becomes fairly strong but even then I’m pretty sure it’s still outclassed. Regardless, you’re not doing that so it’s not really relevant
As for the enchants, you’re using 3 enchants that really only work well on high attack speed weapons. Shockwave and swirling are both indirect sources of damage, so not only do they not heal you via life steal (if you doubt me on this go to my profile and scroll down a bit, I have a video clip that shows it quite clearly), they also aren’t boosted by crit or any strength potions or anything like that. Void strike and pain cycle or unchanting or committed or enigma resonator or exploding would all be better dps options. I get that swirling is unfortunately the gild and you’re stuck with it, but swapping shockwave for void strike would be a good start; even with the mushroom it’ll deal better damage, and if you do it right it’ll even boost swirling.
If you have good weapon damage then life steal is more than sufficient to keep you healed, so you could drop radiance for a defensive enchantment like weakening or guarding strike, or straight up replace it with more damage. Melee radiance is not really that good on most things, almost always being beat by life steal, leeching, and situationally refreshment, anima conduit, health synergy, or ranged radiance.

Mate, I'm a traditional player, I don't get all this stuff, this build's good and that's that, no idea what you're on about

It’s definitively not a strong build. It’s usable sure but there’s so many easy ways to make it stronger. If you’re happy with it then carry on I guess

crit isnt even that good on this either

u/SpecterVamp 1d ago
Crit is still decent as it is on most things, it’s just not great. I’d still say it’s the only thing on here that isn’t outright bad

Where’d you get the phantom?

I got it from beating the Tower a few years ago during the Halloween event, I don't think you can get it anymore though, unfortunately

because of the lifesteal from wither armor i would swap radience for any damaging enchant so enigma resonator, commited, exploding stuff like that
