This thing does good damage against the skelies in the Catacombs being that most enemies in this region are weak to strike damage. Awesome weapon with a quick move set. I am using it at +2 with 30 strength. My character is not an FP user so can't comment on the FP regen but that should be a nice bonus.
Fp is 6 points per kill. Tested at Farron Keep Perimeter bonfire, with darkwraiths killing ghrus. It's great if you use supplementary miracles and sorceries. I'm currently blitzing the catacombs with this thing at +4 and 36 strength. Everything dies in 1, maybe 2 hits. It's awesome, overall.
Thanks to the fp regen, low strength (19) and dexterity (13) requirements, and combo of slash/blunt damages, this weapon would be great with the dusk crown ring and a healing miracle. Pair with butcher's knife in main hand two-handed and this blade on your back, survival with the dusk crown ring is viable.
