I fell in love with this sword when I first saw it, but worried about it's effectiveness once I read the stats. I was still excited to find it's BP and after a bit of testing, it's got to be my favorite melee weapon in the game (Tough call between it and the Bo). The charge damage on it is absolutely astronomical once you max it out, not to meantion it charges much faster than the DHS, and it's base crit chance/damage is one of the highest of any melee weapon. I can 3-4 hit most ancients with charge attacks. You don't even need to potatoe it, just throw charge speed/damage and frost damage on it ( for if the first hit doesn't kill whatever is the unlucky target, at least slows it down for more hits) and the thing annihilates everything in your way. The single target is a bit of a downside, but with it's charge speed, hardly a handicap.
