Best Straight Sword for a STR/DEX build

Post by Azran Sat Jul 28, 2012 4:16 pm

Welp, as title says.

I'm currently torn between the regular Longsword, the Darksword and the Silver Knight Straight Sword. The first two are actually buffable and share C/C scaling, while SKSS is lopsided towards Dexterity.

Thoughts?

They're all quite similar in terms of damage and moveset. On my str/dex build I use Solaire's sword, try it.

The Balder Side Sword favors Dex more, but it is still fantastic. I've also found enjoyment from the Sunlight Straight Sword. I think that is C/C, but don't quote me.

The silver knight sword is also buffable, has longer reach, but its slower and heavier. Unique moveset.

Longsword and Sunlight straight sword have the same moveset and range, thrust and slash attacks

Broadsword and Barbed sword have the same moveset and range, only slash attacks, but the barbed sword does less damage and causes bleed

Darksword has an unique moveset and good range

Balder side sword is 50% straight sword and 50% rapier - dex oriented
