It may be popular for credit runs, but it's also a very strong weapon in general. Reasons are pure elemental (no IPS) combined with high status chance, good base damage, as well as whips having very good attack range. And this weapon hits fast as well.

Gas builds were very common on this, and even after stealth nerf/fix, it still does immense damage. It's not uncommon to kill big groups of lvl 100+ enemies with a single slide attack (Maiming Strike ftw), and it is also a prime contender for Condition Overload.
