Black Bow of Pharis.
It might not deal the most damage, but it still hits very hard for a Dex build. (S bonus)
And it's range makes aiming far easier, because the arrows actually go where they're supposed to, instead of up and to left.

[Timara White]

I always use the Black Bow, but this is for PvP... and it also weighs more then Short.

[gemma]

I haven't seen EF around here in a few days. I hope he didn't throw in the towel. I got faith in ya buddy!

[mike]

Yeah, i hope he didn't spend too much time on Dragonscale farming, cause it will drain your soul

[Shannon Marie Jones]

Maybe he just got really into the game and isn't having problems? :hopeful:

[Alan Whiston]

I'm gonna forget about the whole spell thing and go for the sword only.... no crown and belloring thank gawd.

I hate looking like everyone else.... i rather look good then have more power and look like an idiot.

Same goes for the other power house builds... no crown and belloring.

[Miragel Ginza]

I went to sif's lair with all intentions of dieing

i came out relatively un harmed ...

didnt even die

i wanted his sword tho ...

[cosmo valerga]

you can use sif's soul at the giant blacksmith to create the greatsword of artorias

[Pawel Platek]

There's two versions to that sword. Pure damage version, and a magic-and-physical damage version. Neither one can be enchanted if I remember correctly.

[abi]

The normal version is divine and requiers stats of 24 in Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Faith and requires a +10 sword hilt or broken sword

The Cursed version can hurt ghosts and requires stats of 18 in the above and requires a +10 sword

[Kevin S]

Just remembered that Epicfail used the master key to skip Lower Undead Burg, The Depths, and most of Blighttown which means he didn't get the Large Ember which lets you ascend weapons to +10 so no boss weapons for him.

[Emily Martell]

I never thought i could make a 50 Faith that's okay in all the right places... http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=350654938147860150

Also works with the Bandit class.

[Aaron Clark]

I can't decide where I want to take this character so thought I'd poll the masses...

I don't PvP so it only needs to be optimized for PvE. I took the chaos covenant shortcut and took down bed of chaos as part of my RP, but the other lords remain and most of AotA. She has lost her way a little bit and needs a new path

I haven't had trouble in any particular area, but I do get punished for being sloppy with the low vit (I kind of like that though)

the only place I've been stumped is fighting Artorias, he's had my number for a couple of nights now.

I have all the pyromancies available and sometimes use a great scythe +14 instead of the +15 uchigatana,

I suppose it would make sense to go with int or faith and pump up attunement, but I've never really used spells or miracles.

[Mariana]

Hey EpicFail, if you're still in love with your Drake sword, try to cut off Kalameet's tail and you get a really fun dragon sword. Ps Kalameet => DLC.

No points into Vit?

[NAkeshIa BENNETT]

If you want to keep low Vit, you still have room for more End.
Looks like you don't need the Equip Load, but you'll be able to block/dodge more.

You could also start increasing Str, if you plan on going NG+ and want to switch weapons.

[james reed]

Finally beat the game and onto NG+, where I can fully unleash the powers of Nito! Now, when it comes to pvp, I'm using the Man-Serpent Sword as a primary. I do like the A-scaling it carries, though I would like to know what other viable pvp weapons there are that scale with Strength. I do prefer weapons that swing horizontally, as there are a lot of people who love to dodge.

About the final boss:

Spoiler

Fits perfectly with the theme of this game. Most bosses have been giants, grand in nature, having a cut scene or something, and epic music. As the Chosen Undead explores and conquers his way through Lordran, we hear only of tales of how great and mighty the Lord of Light, Gwyn, is and that it was he who began the dragon slaying, mustered great heroes under his banner, was able to divide up the Lord Soul he gained and still remain greater than the rest. We see the Kiln of the First Flame, a giant ash blasted building that would surely house the giant Lord Gywn himself when he became the fuel to the first flame. And when we arrive...it's the opposite of all expectations and previous boss fights. He's only a little taller than the player, is nothing but a decrepit burnt husk of a man, no cut scene at all, and the music, rather than being epic, is very sorrowful and just PERFECT for what is going on.

And in this fight, I chose to bring Solaire, so that he may become his own sun in his timeline

[Nicole Mark]

Obsidian Greatsword (same moveset as Man Serpent, except two-handed R2 is AoE blast)
Both the Great and Large Club can be fun.
Demon Great Machete
Demon Great axe

Although the Man Serpent is probably my favourite Str weapon.

[Michelle Chau]

Glad to hear you liked it. Which ending do you go for?

[celebrity]

The dark lord ending

[Dan Stevens]

Good choice!

[Causon-Chambers]

I loved playing with the Large Club in my str playthrough, though it's been a while and I don't think it swings horizontally. it's a rare drop from the barbarians in blighttown and has poison damage. can't attest to its value in pvp as I haven't done much pvp.

Demon Great Machete was kind of fun too, and it does swing horizontal.

[JUDY FIGHTS]

Large Club... i use it with my Gravelord when PvE. Duel Bonewheel Shields when PvP.

He's a pure strenght... 39 strenght to use Smough's Hammer with 2H.

[Dominic Vaughan]

I met the strangest hacker while in the Forest last night.
He was wearing all sorts of modded armor (two helmets, invisible torso, three legs)

But scattered all around him on the ground were dozens of items.
Mostly just piles of 99 boss souls, but also some maxed weapons.

Now I have 99 Gwyn Souls and nothing to do with them. I think I'll just drop them one at a time for other players.

[Rowena]

Maybe it was Santa Claus playing Dark Souls hacked too bad he didn't drop the Elite Cleric Armor.

[Rachael Williams]

Got invaded by a Darkwraith who was modding his character into ridiculous shapes. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=166371828, and when it came to fighting, the both of us ended up doing a naked (save for helm) fight, and he chose to go anorexic.
