really? it seems like a very good weapon. i started as a ...professional? the class with high skill and endurance. (i'm going for a "dex" build). damage seemed to be fine but i suppose i didn't have anything to compare it with. i just got the saw spear and it doesn't seem much better than the threaded cane

i'll keep that in mind when i get the option for using different guns. placing a theoretical limit on the number of parries you can have in any given run is... idk how i feel about it just yet. i like it from a strategic perspective but it's also kind of BS
