Currently with 48 Str, wielding 2 Lion GA +6 and I must say they work pretty good. My goal is 75 Str to powerstance 2 Gyrm Greataxes, but until that I'll stick with my Lion GAs

probably the best of it's kind. in terms of scaling suboptimal for a quality build, but strength builds should give it a chance.
i suggest you go for fire, lightning or dark infusion since it suits that weapon and they are all equally good.
pick your poison really, just not poison or bleed. i feel like this weapon needs to be faster or has to have more reach to be viable in that regard.
