Is there any reason NOT to alter the handle of the two-sword blade?

i just got this kitana, and i wanted to upgrade its technique to S rank. is there any good reason not to? i don't really have any motivity points. just wondering if theres any other not really mentioned downside to changing handles. i haven't done it at all yet

From what I saw somewhere else, having anything at all in your opposing stat is better than having an S in your primary. Which sucks, considering that's the opposite of what From taught us in Souls, I feel.

This isn't Fromsoft nor is this Souls.

I mean *yeah* but you'd still expect getting to the highest level of scaling to give you a big payoff, regardless of whether you've played a Souls or anything and regardless of game.

a D scaling stat only gives 1 ATK per lvl, even if you go from lvl5 to 6 (so there is no diminishing retunr). Meanwhile an A scaling stat gives 2 ATK per lvl above 40...

an S scaling is much more beneficial than having an A scale main stat and a D scale which only provides 1 ATK per lvl even BEFORE diminishing return.

If you don't have any extra points in other category then you will get more from S dex. I have 40 dex, the rest is base level so 5 str and 6 whatever it's called.

I saw that post about S rank being not worth it so I took my Umbrella to "reset" it's scaling from S dex to D str and A dex and if I did that I would lose 13dmg which is a lot considering my total bonus is +100.

It might be worth it if you would go 40/40 because soft cap kicks in really early and really hard but if you are at one stat it's better to focus on it.

Edit: i have that dex ring on so technically I have 44 dex, not 40. Just saying, for clarity.
