Really too bad no other Int/Faith Weapons.....
I mean, would it have been that hard to add a Ghostflame Scythe that scaled with Int/Faith like actual Ghostflame Spells do?
Or perhaps a Lava Greatsword that scales with Int/Faith, like Lava Spells do (would have also been perfectly fitting with the Lava Forges).

Kind of bugs me the only real Int/Faith weapons in the base game and the DLC are Carian Spell/Flame setups.....especially given 0 Carian spells are Int/Faith.

We did get every Smithscipt weapon, every smithing-themed weapon, and every frenzy-themed weapon, plus Rellana's swords. I won't say any of them have particularly good Int/Fth scaling damage, but there are a heck of a lot more options now than there were in the base game.

Literally only like one in the Base game lol.

The other two only happened to had Faith or Int scaling, so you had to infuse the opposite to make it a mediocre Int/Faith weapon.

Honestly, the putrecent knight weapon should have been int/fth.

I really wanted an int curved greatsword because as far as I know there's only the onyx blade which can be considered an Int curved greatsword

yeah, since the putrescence spell works that way

I am saying it would have been nice if we had weapons with INT/FAITH scaling, that were suited to that scaling thematically (AND had good scaling). Like Ghostflame and Lava as mentioned, the spells from those use both Int and Faith, but oddly no Ghostflame weapon, and no Lava weapon, scale with both.....isn't that a bit odd? It would make sense for the Deathbird Poker, the Helphen Steeple, or the Lava Whip to use Int/Faith scaling......but they don't.

Iono what it is, but Miyazaki has made it abundantly clear that he hates int/faith (the combo in specific, not separate, separate they're awesome) builds. From every weapon/staff that uses it having bad scalling, to the spells unique to that being terrible, to deathblight buildup being practically non-existent if a player uses it.

The new finger staff has B scaling, it's literally a downgrade from the Prince of Death staff, for the sole benefit of being able to use faith or int spells. You get to save a whole 1.5 points off your weight at least, though!

Every other build gets some major upgrade for their class. 2-hand talisman, tons of amazing new spells/incantations, crazy Dex weapons (Messmer's spear combo is actually insane), new armor/shields, perfume bottles with decent faith or int scaling (again, not both).

What do faith/int builds get? A meme staff and... 2 useless spells should about do it.

Isn't Rellanas swords literally int/faith like one of the poster child weapons for the dlc.

Or am I missing something?

Its 4. STR DEX INT FTH = C at +10.

INT/FTH affects the pose and it's light (INT) and heavy (Faith) attack.

If you have 3 (Where 2 are STR and DEX) of the 4 in a build its a solid choice.

While Rellana's two swords are rather cool, I would definitely prefer some INT/FAITH weapons that are not another Carian Night and Fire thing. As mentioned, would prefer something like Ghostfire, Lava, maybe a Tibia Bone Blade or some such. Or even a Golden Order Fundementalist Weapon (Why aren't there any of those?).
