This weapon is one of the FEW melee weapons which promotes an elemental + attackspeed non-charge build. It seems to aim-assist target enemies 360 degrees around you, I can swing faaster than almost any other weapon save the zoren, i can run into a pack of infected and use regular melee and not get interrupted once. Compare this with charge attack, which leaves vulnerable window followed by full 360 high damage attack. Risk reward you say? I argue consistent dps giving higher averaged dps than spike-dps charge attacks.

With all the other heavy weapons being charge build or bust. My short/sweet time with this weapon so far has been with max attack speed, swing damage, heavy on elementals. Not max level 60 yet, but I can't see the same old charge attack build making me want to give up the totally unique 360 dual-lightsaber-esque ownage of this ultra-fast heavy-hitter. Really happy with it.
