Not that great though, really. B scaling is okay, but it's base damage isn't too great.
I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned the zweihänder. Maybe if got nerfed recently without me realizing, but that thing was fucking everywhere a couple of months ago. It's horrible for new people, but once you've got a decent grasp of how everything moves, you can easily pick your moments between attacks. And the backstab kills almost anything.
I'm trying to make a build at the moment that can actually use the GSoA effectively, but it's taking me ages.

Lightning spear.
Fools don't know that they can't break through my shield. My stamina is too damn high. So when they try, ZAP

Still await for my copy of Dark souls to arrive from amazon.
But after hearing spears, I will definitely try out those! Not enough proper spears in games now days.
Any beginners tip with a combo that could be helpful in the beginning?
Thinking of going towards a dexterity character.

Halbred. I kept that baby the entire game. Heaviest armour, heaviest unique shield, and my Halbred upgraded to max lightning. The only enemies I struggled with was Smough and Ornstein, and that's cause they were lightning resistant. Even then it was just a case of tediously leading Smough around and wearing him down.
Strangely though, the Demon's Souls halbred was no where near as good. In that the heavy attack looked like you were having an epileptic fit and couldn't hit a thing. Winged spear all the way for me in Demon's Souls!

There are too many weapons to choose from. But, if I had to choose some of my favorites...:
Iaito: I beat my first playthrough of the game almost exclusively with the Iaito, and the speed of its R2 (as well as the style factor) is pretty damn good. Nothing looks cooler than backstepping an enemy's attack, then slicing through them with a quick-draw.
Priscilla's Dagger: I love its massive bleed effect, and its dancing R2 attack just looks so cool--and its even cooler when every attack hits. Plus, that S-scaling in DEX makes its damage nothing to scoff at.
Velka's Rapier: A magic rapier? Count me in! Plus, once again, the style-factor of its R2 is too good to pass up. Honestly, what's cooler than carving a giant 'V' on an enemy as a last hit?
Ricard's Rapier: PokepokepokepokepokepokepokePOKE!
Quelaag's Furysword: I love the fire-effect on the blade when you swing it, although it makes me wish that they gave Gwyn's sword the same treatement...
Greatsword of Artorias: It may be the slowest of the greatswords, and its damage may be mediocre unless you max your stats, but there's no denying it looks cool, and that its R2 attacks have style. Knocking enemies into pits with a massive sword slash never looked cooler.

I guess it would be the shitty short sword I found in the Undead Burg because I can't kill the big red Dragon or the Silver club Knight at the end of that stage.
Well, obviously the Baller Swag Sword is the best, but there are lots of other good weapons as well.
A shotel can always be fun. And Quelaag's Fury Sword is just the coolest looking weapon in the game, plus it's pretty powerful.
I actually really like a longbow with large arrows or a chaos composite bow with fire arrows. It's just good times to roll out of the way of a huge attack and fire a couple arrows into some giant enemy while it recovers.
Really I could go on until I listed over half the weapons. They just did an amazing job with this game.

You never have to kill them and they are not meant to be taken on at low levels (Havel can be backstabbed into oblivion if you are nimble, though).White Lightning said:
not played in a while, but my favourite weapons where an black knight great-sword, gravelord sword (that was always fun in pvp), and that bleeding scythe which name escapes me.
one of the main reason i like those weapons is that the scaling is not good, so other people think they are pretty crap but they are other effects hat make them very useful, plus. my only issue with the game (xbox version) is that unless you play offline you really need to keep pvp in mind, the number of times i was invaded was ridiculous so having some nice effect weapons was always a better choice.
its why I always had to put effects on weapons and sacrifice the extra damage which always bugged me because it made fighting some late game bosses an arse ache

I use a couple of weapons, but my PvP character uses a +15 Iaito with a +5 Chaos Gargoyle's Halberd. Tin Crystallization Catalyst and Moonlight Greatsword in reserve for punishing/pressuring roll-ins.
Though really, my favorite weapon is just a simple +15 Greatsword. Looks better than the Zweihander, and that's all the reason I need to use a weapon. I prefer style over performance in Dark Souls.

I love the Bastard Sword. Everyone fawns over the claymore but I like the looks and the sweeping moveset of the BS more. Beyond that, I like the broad sword for nipping at those damn skeleton dogs and then being able to block before they can retaliate (there are a few other situations that call for a faster weapon as well) and nothing beats the look of the warrior monk with mace in hand.
I believe I stuck with Quelaag's Furysword. With full hope(?) it's pretty damn awesome. Prefer fast weapons in Demon's/Dark Souls. Gives me better control of the fights.
