The elemental damage thing seems only to work when doing dmg with that weapon, it doesn't do anything to boost other weapons attacks/skills.

Am I reading the chart correctly? Does the physical scaling actually **improve** when infused with an ailment?

It's not the best halberd in terms of stats, but damn, does it look slick

After the statement "Slightly increases Elemental Damage negation (+2%)" it should be noted that this buff does NOT stack when powerstanced.

Perfect weapon for prophet. If you're going for level 150 you can slap Black Flame Tornado on this thing with 80 faith, 38 mind, 60 vigor and the stats required to use it. It will deal tremendous amount of damage! Very good for pure caster builds!

Also wanna mention it deals slash damage instead of standard damage with a normal halberd animation, so I do believe that it was supposed to have the same moveset such as guardian spear or loretta war sickle but was later changed for some reason.

Here's hoping for pest armor in the dlc for cosplay

this thing really needs some intrinsic poison or rot or something

The second line of the item description implies that the design of the weapon carries significance for the pests, an expression of their culture. - d
