Also, perhaps it wasn't used to go against the Way of White. It has good poison/toxic blocking, as well as fire. It was made for a plot against gods, not their human followers.

Like I said earlier, it has great lightning defense, so that covers Gwyn. The Fire defense will counter the Witch of Izalith. And the poison resistance trumps Nito, who used "a miasma of death" to kill the dragons.
