As half of the great scythe's moveset is very poor and the other half is very predictable, you're practically forced to have a backup weapon to keep your opponents on their toes.

Most dex weapons are very light; the extra equip load's not that big of a deal.

There's nothing wrong with a weapon that isn't meant to be used alone. Priscilla's Dagger has poor bleed buildup, but massive bleed damage (50% of HP). Having another weapon that is faster and/or deals more bleed than it and then switching to it for the last few hits eliminates the weaknesses of Priscilla's Dagger while amplifying its strengths. Come to think of it a Lifehunt Scythe paired with Priscilla's Dagger would be a good combination for its bleed synergy.
