AnonymousThe DPS on this weapon is unreal. Hits nearly as hard as maxed out weapons, but twice as fast and for half the stamina.

AnonymousThis dropped in the very first camp using Wylder, and it was the exact moment i knew this run was going to be a winner.
This and celebrant and two handed passives and even some poise is kind of unstoppable with a grappling hook. Just the sheer amount of stamina you don't have to spend from moving at all makes this one of the most devastating builds you can get your grubby hands on.
Very good on the Undertaker
