AnonymousRequiring 25 dex, this weapon has great potential for inclusion in a versatile dex pvp toolkit.
Poison infusion is the obvious choice. The high poison infliction and fundamentally good moveset make it great for surprising an opponent before switching to another weapon.
Poison Channeles Trident, Old Whip, Hunters Blackbow, Spider Fang or even Dragon Curved Greatsword are good pairing options.

Judging by the color it seems to be made out of Frog-Ray skin, interesting.

Power stancing these was so awesome in PVP, with those poison gauntlets from DLC and Stone ring. Every combo stuns them, and they'd be poisoned in 2 combos - 4 hits, and run behind a pillar to heal. :D Loved it, some of the best memories, it felt like it caught most people off guard.

Wish they didn't nerf DS2 stuff in DS3 so badly. Flynn's Ring is useless unless you're naked, while in DS2 I can use light armor + Mastodon Halberd and get full bonus. And then there's this whip, which is terrible in DS3, where poison is already weaker. They really didn't want build variety in DS3.
In Dark Souls 3, this whip builds less poison than a poison-infused notched whip. Oh how far the mighty have fallen.
