Ever since the Beast/Slime update, these monster families deal Piercing damage. That is to say, Wolvers deal Piercing damage. And the Wild Hunting Blade creates Wolvers that deal...Normal damage.

I think everyone can agree that the Wild Hunting Blade is sub-par compared to the Dread Venom Striker - the STRONG poison to ALL enemies far outweighs the 15% damage bonus against Beasts. In the interest of providing more variety to the game in terms of weapons, it'd seem that the Wild Hunting Blade would benefit by dealing Normal damage on sword strikes, and Piercing damage on Wolver bites.

I don't really expect the WHB to ever be more than a shiny trophy weapon, but it's kind of sad to see something so graphically impressive be so...useless. Any thoughts or comments on this weapon?

I like that idea. It really is the most beautiful weapon, sadly it is also the most pointless since the Flourishes have a natural bonus to beasts and fiends. The piercing wolver bites would bring the weapon more inline with its purpose.

No player, YOU are the wolver

And then you were fighting wolvers in wolver with wolvers.
