The weapon has heavy weight for balancing purposes. With the right stat distribution(40/40) this weapon pumps out HUGE DPS. Individual hits are upper midling damage but for its size and AR the speed is VERY fast. If this had STR scaling and was lighter it would be completely overpowered. If it say weighed 6-8 with STR scaling, like BKS or Claymore, it would vastly out perform them because of its speed...both of which are considered very good weapons. Ironically because of its requirements,not only is it rarely used,but forces you into a squishier build for the traditional SL 120 range. Very good weapon for NG+ and beyond though.
