It sounds cool, but I dunno why I should attack it's tail, and give it a free chance at killing me.... a dragon seems way too powerful to just fuck around with so early on in the game.

It can't get to you from where you snipe it with arrows.

[quote=Overwatch]A sword like that is probably hella slow.

Nope.

[quote=Overwatch]*turns out it can't scale, whatever that means (I assume it has to do with leveling). So, should I really get it?

*Shrug* Do what you will, but I'm killing things in one hit now that would've taken a couple hits before. Effectively cutting my soul-grinding time in half for now.
