A lot of this stuff goes over my head (I usually only deal with hand-to-hand) but that made sense of it all.
Finally finished my OaT Scythe and did 1 test on birds and I was impressed. I did a bird party with BRD COR DNC SAM/WAR (Polearm) DRK/SAM (OaT scythe) and WHM/SCH and this was the result. Buffs were March x2 Haste Samba (capped merits) Hunters Roll & Chaos Roll.
BRD/NIN (Twotone)
COR/WAR (Altkey)
DNC/NIN (Erutheone)
SAM/WAR (Illuvian)
DRK/SAM (Crucial)
WHM/SCH (Tsukiiyo)
For the grip I was using Platinum Grip +1 which worked out really well, but I'm going to play around with it more on Mamools & try out Sword Grip. I will post my TP setup in a little bit.

No Velocious belt yet, KA won't put out ;( 0/83 orz
That's hot, may you post the per hit and ws damage?
My normal hits were doing exceptionally well. 190-200ish from eye-balling it, I really can't remember. I did a few Spiral hells because I was sitting at 300 tp after swinging like crazy from Last Resort & Hasso. Threw in a few Insurgencys in there for the lulz but yeah.

The Platinum Grip definitely worked out nice throwing stun on mobs so they will be stun locked and dead lol. If I can get a half decent merit party without building one I'll play around with it more.
There you goI guess I'm just shot.. Anyway this scythe is definitely one to get ( assuming you have full buffs ), but who knows the new update might fuck it up lol.
What's that 2nd ring you're wearing? Blitz? And nice job on the parse wow.
I'm curious to see OAT Polearm in action as I've heard it can actually out dmg Gugnir...
Just did a merit pt on Mamools with a gimp ass cor -_-"

(It really was a Serket Ring)
Hey that cor parsed 1% higher then when he merited with us this week! Well, not quite 1% but he's getting better!

I'm /dnc our healer sucked.
That Cor makes me want to break things, gimps like that ruin it for people who take the job seriously. Denali Bonnet and dual Archer's, no wonder his dmg is so pro.
Edit: Askar head + Mythril Grip +1 Sam as well, it all makes sense now.
Are we really using parses to determine the capabilities of these weapons?
I mean, fuck, at least post the other person's gear and any playstyle observations you've made.
The merit parties I make usually consists of DDs that I personally know and play aggresive and healers I can trust. The pick-up people are usually the BRDs & CORs. I will take SS's of their TP & WS sets and post them also their playstyles.
