Dark Split-Sword deserves some changes

The current split sword doesn't feel special at all, it's just a weapon that you don't have to go to the arsenal to switch from random [dual weapon] to [heavy weapon].

I wish that you can make this weapon have alt modes, just like Stradavar. Press alt-fire to switch from heavy to dual and vice versa. Give it a visual effect or have the frame push something on the weapon to break/attach the split-sword, to switch modes. 

Then in the modding screen, either make it so this weapon has two stance slots, none of them unpolarised nor polarisable. OR a dual mode and heavy mode build, meaning two build setups per config. (There'll be even more flexibility like switching from heavy mode crit build to dual mode status build etc. if it's the latter suggestion)

Looking at the heavy mode, it's not even 'heavy', so the attack speed should be a little faster? Or maybe give it a reason for its slow attack speed (crit buildable weapon or high dmg per swing weapon). Maybe make it look bigger/heavier visually so it actually fits in being a heavy blade weapon?

Dual mode is fine, I think.. I hate uneven blades being held on each hand though, just a personal opinion e.e

Too OP? Or did I go too crazy? Leave suggestions..

As to the switching between stances mid game should have been there from the start. THE only thing that made this weapon interesting is not here. This is at this moment, a subpar heavy and subpar dual weapon that only takes up one weapon slot. Thats it. As for its stats etc, I have not yet made it myself because of the reason stated above. But I bet its pretty S#&$ compared to other dual/heavy weapons. Now this wouldn't be a problem at all, if you could switch it midgame to fit the need when heavy or dual is needed.

This is what they SHOULD'VE done with the Dark Split-Sword:

 

New unique weapon type specific to this weapon (at least for now)

New unique stance that swapped between heavy melee(or polearm based on the design logic) and dual swords at the push of the ALT Fire button
