Is Mytha's Bent Blade worth it?

[Sir Fancybritches Fizzlebottom]

I've heard it inflicts poison and toxic, but how often do you get it to proc? Is it immensely rare or is it a reliable rate of infliction?

It only gets useful on NG+ or if you can manage getting 2 in one playthrough. Like all statues items, it's better to powerstance them; the more attacks, the easier to proc the ailment (there are exceptions, like Ricard's Rapier). Sanctum Soldier's Gauntlet and Crest of the Rat are mandatory as with all poison-heavy arsenals, though I don't believe this increases Toxic build-up, only poison.

I haven't played much with the daggers though because I find Poison Claws to be much more useful, as Poison increases both bleed and physical damage which greatly mitagates the lesser scaling. I should state I reliably get -both- statues effects to proc.

With that said, perhaps dabble in pyromancy with Toxic Mist to emphasize Mytha's auxillary effect.

It's bad. Toxic Mist sucks, too. Dark Fog is ten times better

I've always disregarded Hexes, but Dark Fog is definitely a better option if you have stats (25/14 INT/FTH) to invest in it.

Just use Spices
