    I was wondering for pvp what scythe should I use the Lifehunt or Great one? And do they go up in dex or strength? I believe it would be dex... but idk <--Noob

    great one hits hard, is longer and you can buff it. great is easier to use cause you dont need the blood shield or bloodbite ring to not kill yourself but try both and see which one suits your style better.

    the great scythe was the first weapon i experienced success with in dark souls pvp. it's a great weapon to buff, or upgrade via the chaos path. it scales excellently with dex, has better range, and the r2 jump attack is a very awesome finishing move if your opponent is low on health and turtling.

    I have 40+ in dex and strength and fully upgraded versions of both. The damage is near identical. Dex is the primary stat. The advice above hits most of the pinta I woulda mentioned too. Give then both a try

    Lifehunt is great against turtles, since the bleed effect still happens even if blocked.

    i think all the scythes are great even the normal one(i highly suggest it for dex builds if you want to stagger opponents). lifehunt is good IF you're not fighting a katana or other bleed weapon user. i honestly feel bad when i have a chaos blade or something and someone trys fighting me with lifehunt.....it doesnt last long.

    i love life hunt, and i do not use any blood resist gear.. though it is a back up weapon some times with chaos blade, so what i like to do is once i get a few good chaos hits on my enemy swap to life hunt and try and proc bleed with it.
