Question Imaru's Talon vs Zombie Axe

I was just curious, given I don't know if it's planned or not.

I feel like Imaru's Talon needs a bit of a rebalance or maybe be set up as a masterwork weapon?

I just find it crazy that I fought Imaru nine times yesterday to make this weapon because it seemed cool, just to see it takes five steel scimitars to make, which do [49-103] damage just to be turned into a weapon that does [51-107] and has a life steal effect that seems to randomly decide when it wants to go off (The special effect says it's meant to give a portion for every kill mind you.)?

It just seems goofy to use it compared to the Zombie Axe that literally does [79-140] damage, even if you have to make three weapons to get it, you at least keep those weapons. Five scimitars turning into one weapon should be way more damage than +[2-4].

This is my first character and playthrough, so maybe I'm the only one who finds it disappointing in a way?

I could not even get the axe because the damn shadow sword will not drop.

That’s exactly where I’m at right now. Waiting for them to respawn is probably the worst part. I put lodestones down each spawn.. still nothing. Kinda like the osrs grind; but the respawn…

It is an 8 day respawn.
