Scythe of Curses or RandArt Glaive?

Hey all, I am currently running a Lvl 21 MfGl of Okawaru, and was wondering what I should do here...
Okawaru kinda gave me two relatively nice weapons, almost in a row, and I was wondering which I should use:
1. The Scythe of Curses (I have a polearm skill of nearly 21, so while it isn't mindelay, it isn't exactly a slow weapon anymore, and I have a crapload of Scrolls of RemCurse)
2. The RandArt +11 glaive of Wuhor {elec, rC+}. (It is faster and has a pretty nasty brand on it, but I still don't know which is better)

Please advise. Thank you!

The glaive, no question. The scythe could only come close at Polearms 26, by which point Oka will probably have given you a bardiche (for which you should definitely save your enchant weapon scrolls).

That glaive is so sweet, but you won't find DAT scythe for another 1000 games and it is fucking awesome.

Ask yourself if you want to play another game with a good elec glaive or being the fucking reaper

Wouldn't you use Heroism in any fight where it really matters, giving you exactly that?

I played a game with the Scythe and it was pretty fun. It gives some pretty strong summons which is interesting.

The biggest problem is: swapping jewellery becomes a hassle.

Go for the Scythe because it's so fun and you won't find it again with a Polearms user before a while^^
