The only thing stoned here was SE when they made a stupid enchant like this...
The only jobs that can use this dont have elemental magic skill...that means unless the enchant is independent of this, its gonna do 0 dmg on any exp mob.
I bought one, on an EP mob the stone did about 100-150 damage, and the weapon skills are all staff skills, and i skilled it up and it said "Staff skill raises by .3" so there u go
If you take a look at the damage and delay on it you can tell it's not a scythe. At lvl 72+, scythes have dmg of around 85-95 or so and a delay of around 480ish to 515. Seeing as the weapon shown here has 20-30dmg less than a scythe of its lvl should make that stand out.
i really dont think this is a scythe skill, i've often see alla screw up on their weapons by saying certain daggers are swords, and staff's are clubs, and greataxes are scythes, as far as the weapon skill used for the weapon, i think its just a typing error because i have seen tis used by a high lvl PLD skilling up in GC on the big magic pot things in the serket area, and e was using Staff skills like heavy swing, so im sure you wont have problems using it on MNK or WHM or anything that you might desire a staff for.
Yeah, MNKS can't really use any either (unless you count the semi-bladed hand-to-hand weapons like claws and baghnahks). This looks good for a MNK, too, because of the HP+ tics when healing part. I'm already about to crack 1k HP at 43; it takes me forever to heal up while crouching.
