1st TL,DR: Outperforms MLGS in pure combat but MLGS requires a lot less stats to be capped. Scaling is best for STR/DEX characters, but if I were to build specifically for this weapon, I'd put INT/FTH at about 15/15--just enough for utility spells like Hidden Body, and Tears of Denial. Casual. With a B rating in Dexterity when upgraded, this Greatsword packs a punch with a pure Dex build.
