It's a pretty nice Ring. Sucks I refuse to do the final ACP fight for a shot at it.
This is a lot better anyway:

I think this beats perdu sickle
Spoiler: show
Also got ruby ring w/ 2 dex
Okay thanks. Might actually have a reason to level Goldsmithing now.
D difference = 4 - 0.25 (-1str average result) = 3.75/100 = + 3.75% DoT.
DEX+1 and Acc+5 = total acc of +5.75 = 2.875% accuracy. Call it 3.
3% accuracy at 90% base is 3.3% DoT/WS frequency.
Delay difference between Perdu and Death is a 5.4%~ advantage to DoT and WS frequency.
Even before we consider accuracy and attack on the Perdu Sickle, we are comparing 3.75% DoT + 3.3% DoT/WS frequency vs 5.4% DoT/WS frequency. That's pretty much break even if not a slight advantage to the Perdu, and this is without the accuracy/attack.
That death scythe has more acc than perdu. This is simply a 14 att/27 delay vs 4 dmg question. the higher delay actually enables my 5 hit setup so that isnt actually an advantage. the 14 attack increases PDIF by 1.2x14/mob defense which is around 0.056 PDIF. to make that increase larger than 3.75% you need PDIF to be lower than 1.493 (average?). so they're both really close in damage per hit but 1 of them gets the advantage of 5 hit build.
Anyway seeing as the main advantage of this scythe is the 5 hit build I think im sticking w/ tred scythe for 5 hit unless i needed more acc (which I prolly will on that set).
EDIT: assumed 300 def mob, Should prolly adjust some of the calculations.
If we negate the accuracy on both sides, it's already heavily stacked toward Perdu and I took account of the D advantage in the math above; the difference will be less significant during WS too whereas Attack remains relatively constant.
5-hit is handy situationally but requires a lot of sacrifice typicallythe accuracy on the Death Scythe there certainly helps though.

VoS Windsday.
VoS:
Lamia Kaman +2 CHR +1 MACC
Weskit +18 Dark resist
Sky:
Errant body +4 STR
Haven't tried any more than that though, I figure I'll just get hosed anyways!
My first augment from VoS was last night, same as previous poster:
Dark resist +18 on a Weskit
Can't post a pic because this is my first post but I got this on my Death Scythe from the Sky NM:
DMG +1 MND +1 AGI-1 CHR-1
Accuracy +4
Sorry for not checking all 46 pages thus far but have there been any notable BRD instruments?
Nothing really worth mentioning. I think only one person tried to augment an instrument.

Gunna try a few more times possibly over this week.
