    I know flaming/icy/shocking burst is supposed to do triple if the weapon has an x3 multiplier, but what about a Scythe?

    Scythes do piercing and slashing damage.

    I think there is a gap in my understanding here. Lemme restate the question. So, as I understand it, if you enchant a weapon with a "Burst" modifier, it adds (2d6, I think?) damage of that type when it crits. So a flaming burst weapon adds 2d6 of flame damage to a crit. But in the description it also mentions that if the weapon has an x3 crit multiplier, then it's 3d6 of added burst damage.

    So my question is, if you enchant a Scythe with the "xxx Burst" property, will it add 4d6 of burst damage if it crits?

    That's my understanding. It's 1D6 times the crit multiplier.
