Okay, sure it is ugly and too slow.. But when upgraded to +5, it does 450 base damage and its S scaling provides 220 bonus with 50 strength. This weapon is not good for 1v1s unless you have great poise. Except if facing gankers, boy does this thing shine. Since gankers get confident and run at you, this thing is literally the perfect weapon. Wide arc, and it takes two or three hits to kill people. This is great if you're a strength build. I HIGHLY recommend poise, sure it is terrible in Dark Souls 2, it only works when you're doing an action like swinging. Use this to your advantage, see your opponent swing their weapon, press R1, its probably going to break their poise, I'd be surprised if it didn't, and follow it up with the second. This is such an efficient tactic, I stopped using this weapon and started playing with light swords to make fights entertaining.
