You would have thought it is a DEX weapon due to it innate scaling, but it is more complicated:

• With a Heavy Ash of War and 80 STR this weapon reaches 768 AR one Handed and 819 AR two handed with only a supposed B scaling only in STR.

• With a Keen Ash of War and 30 STR (for its minimal requirement) and 80 DEX it reaches 794 AR one handed and 804 AR two handed with an E scaling in STR and a B scaling in DEX.

• With a Quality Ash of War and an 80 in both STR and DEX this weapon has 861 AR one handed and 895 AR two handed.
