OK, I have been reading the comments,

To those whom hate this: OK, if you have mastered the quick slide and still hate it. Fine, not all melee is melee you will like.

To those who love it: I take it you know how to quick slide? Congrats that is a good measure of the weapon's power.

To those whom wish to know if this weapon is good, bad or ugly: Well ugly is fairly subjective. I think it could be better, you know if the tines on the front folded and the skeletal section of the weapon telescoped down into the bulk while on your back. But is it good? Quick sliding (move foward, sprint, crouch, and attack in very rapid succession) can be seen as similar to the old charge attack mechanic; it makes this weapon hit like a truck. Additionally, UNLIKE dual sword weapons this type (Tonfas) will not stop your frame from moving while performing quick melee, on the star map this results in being able to rapid tap melee while striding forward through the enemy hordes. This is especially important if your enemies have guns; you need not kill the front guy, then stop swinging, move foreward, repeat (This can badly punsh you if you swing at a mob 4 times but, oops, it was dead on swing one). Now for the Bad... Well as many have mentioned it's reach is NOT so great; Primed Reach is pretty standard on any build. If this disgusts you (despite its otherwise stellar stats letting you eat a slot for the card and still hit hard) then you will dislike it. If you desire to melee a bit (like atually switch to it) then most heavy melee will do better, Its Stance (Gemini Cross) is merely average.

Personally, I have the weapon and use it extensively. Using the quick slide I can hit harder than any other melee weapon in raw numbers. I recommend it if you want to use guns most of the time, but desire a great back-up swing to the face (Face? Did I say face? I meant KNEES!) if something reaches you. When used this way, the stance is basically a: "I want free mods points" card.
