The thing is most people will try to meet at least the minimum in certain areas and if ever wanting to use a bow then we tend to get a little attention into Dex. especially when we pick up the 'Black Bow of Pharis' and/or 'Dragonslayer Greatbow' and just want to be able to use it.

18 Dex is really not that much and rarely is considered a negative in it's stat allocation as very many weapons are assisted by this stat.

And the "below average Strength scaling for its size" is just not accurate as the strength scaling is equal to near all the Greatswords. It is the dexterity scaling that is below average. But the point is the weapons initial damage is so high and the added 20% damage against Demons just makes it a formidable weapon for any build.

I myself started off as a thief and thus only needed to put 3 upgrades in Dex to wield when I got it in the burg. I had already spent a little time in the graveyard and with the Infested Barbarians to level myself up in Strength quickly.

But come on 20 Str and 18 Dex? Only those trying to stay in a specific dedicated build themselves would think not to see this as really a minimum for those wanting to use any variety of weapons.

And it's damage potential is far from medium. Still does huge amounts of damage in PvE and PvP for myself in NG+. Especially when utilizing power within. The weapon outclasses near all my other weapons when it comes to damage. With but a very few that can surpass it and they even have bigger reasons behind their use being less desirable in PvE or PvP.

The weapon only really gets to the point of being surpassed when you get into the levels outside what many consider the normal stopping level of 125.

I understand everyone has their opinion on weapons and stat building and such but if anyone thinks that BKS is a waste really doesn't have a good grasp of the game in my eyes. Because this weapon is by far a top tier weapon from NG to NG+ and beyond.
