After using this in a normal attack build for a bit, I would remove comments about it being faster than the Dakra Prime. It's not really a comparable weapon because of how the whip animations swing.

Longswords (heck, most all melee weapons) use a cycling swing chain. Something like 4-5 different swing animations that chain together infinitely at an even pace. This is not the case with the Scoliac. The first two swipes come out decently quickly (I'd still argue the Dakra feels faster,) but then the third has a long windup and long recovery, severely hindering the weapon's attack speed and chaining ability.
