Girth, as far as i know the extra rounds of attacks are due to the 2 blades. He is definitely considerably harder with the 2 blades and has 6 or so swings a round. As i stated in the other thread, if i know for a fact that that's a bug or needs nerfing it'd have been reported. As of yet, though, nobody really knows whether he should be doing that or not so i'm not gonna report it w/o any proof
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] What we seem to agree is that his blade drop rate was increased later to appease warriors even though you could essentially farm him until he spawned with a blade, but w/e, whiny warriors.
Iirc, pre-nerf SL hit harder but didn't have the haste boost that was added later (on p99). I believe that the spiroc lord had a single blade when he parsed his numbers and considering your own post in the other thread regarding the matter, you yourself admitted you noticed no significant difference at all when SL was wielding 2. That may have been true prior to that patch -- and presumably this was true then -- but it's most definitely not the case now. That bastard hurts...
Scrooge, princess isn't a cake-walk either. I'd say you'd probably need a group and a half to take her down. In general the sky bosses (and even some trash) are harder than old world dragon/gods.
