yeah, its a shame, they should make that an AoW

Blood Affinity, and possibly Occult Affinity scale off arcane, also you will have super high droprates.

It's fun to play niche builds

Dragon communion uses arcane primarily with faith just for requirements. And with stuff like rotten breath its amazing

Dragon magic scales mostly with arcane. I havent found blood magic, but i assume it will at least partially scale w arcane

I enjoy murdering everything effortlessly on arcane builds.

People complaining about bugged arcane weapons are the stupidest people i swear.

Oh you can make any weapon that is ash of war infusable arcane... literally any of em

Caestis, curved swords, great swords. Etc.

I run around with dual curved swords that do 99 bleed and a ton of damage, + my dragon shouts. Good times.

there is better options within low requirements, but if you really want that extra poise for swings, then why not. in some far fetched scenarios this is playable. like, if you can't find occult affinity for your weapon and don't want to waste those upgrade stones. maybe best argument for this weapon is fashion.

When they fix the bugged scaling on some of the arcane weapons we will be glorious

For reference, lordsworn straight sword has 128 at +0

Lordsworn has worse scaling so later in the game it'll be worse than the ripple if you invest in arcane

It's just that arcane dog, even ashes of war cant out arcane it

if only i could put quickstep on this.
