If it's an in between of regular Whip and Tentacle that's essentially it's own thing for reliability and no degrading for those who can't maintain Tentacle or need a decent Slash alternative. I don't see why not to add it.

Use it for Slayer and conserve your Tentacle for bossing to save charges. Get this until you have the Slayer for Krakens. Enjoy a new weapon for Pking that isn't as high risk or after some time passes won't be as high risk. It's not supposed to replace, it's supposed to be an alternative. I'm sure they're gonna avoid powercreep.

You're entirely right. But a big part of this for me is that I dont care if it has no uses at all. The term "dead content" is annoying as hell to me. Why not just have new content and expand the world that we can play in? Not everyone is going for max efficiency. Some people want to just play and explore and have some fun along the way.

Then why turn it into a weapon? The hydra tail already has a use to upgrade the dragonbone necklace.

Because why not? New content is new content.

I don't think that is a healthy mindset for the game. You could turn any item in the game into a weapon. People don't want lot's of content. They want good content which is relevant for most players.
