It should be illegal to have this much fun in a video game, with this dumb of a build.
The +1 part of the Gladius relic is something else for stamina recovery. I think this is the first time in any fromsoft game where I've enjoyed using the whip, they've always been terrible in pve.
But the low stamina cost gives you incredible up time and range in nightreign. Also it has more stagger than the katana which is very funny.
I would still have preferred a rivers of blood, but forging the whip to legendary later in the run was kinda fun.

I imagine the doggo relic would be really good on Duchess with the dagger, it's a measurable difference compared to a regular one.
With the +1 the cursed blade r1s refund their full stamina cost.
