Scythe Vs PH

I was wondering what would be a better weapon? Do MS typically continue to use PH or are there good scythe that out damage them?

I wasn't Swords on my main on Live, but it was always my understanding that a good scythe blade could out-damage a PH when your toon is intimidated. It also offer different damage type which might be useful (depending on target's resists). Again, this was second-hand so YMMV.

As Jasonh mentioned, Sycthes are really good for, leveling due to fast speeds, as well as just raw damage output at times, due to their high min damage, But of course resists always come into play

What type of damage does it do? Blast? also, once you finish your build, is it better to pick up a PH or stay with the scythe?

The Scythe is Kinetic damage, And its a good idea to keep both around if you have them

you for sure want a hammer, but they are a tad slow until you find 2-hand speed CA/AA's
