Are there any Faith/Dex weapons that aren't fire?
Seriously, to finish my build I want two faith/dex scaling weapons, but from everything I can find, my only options are Godslayer Greatsword, which is my primarily weapon, and Messmer's Spear, which is also fire. I thought Bolt of Grasanx, but for some reason it has no faith scaling. I was hoping for a good faith/dex weapon that dealt either holy or preferably lightning, but it seems it doesnt exist unless I'm missing one

The Lightning Perfume Bottle is Dexterity/Faith.

And it fits very well in my remaining equip load, to a point where I can equip it, the eclipse shotel, and my godslayer greatsword all at once without needing to hot swap. Thanks!

Death knight twin axes and death knight longshaft axe are both other options from the DLC.

halo scythe, black knife, Sacred holy sword and Winged Scythe are some options for dex faith builds that also scale with faith but all of these do holy damage

Tbh, Black Knife seems like a great choice. I didn't expect it to scale with faith, given what it was used for, but its perfect for a Holy Weapon, and unlike the Eclipse Shotel, I can actually use its Weapon Art against bosses. Lightning Perfume and Black Knife seem great as weapons to round out my SL 200 Faith/Dex Build

Sacred relic sword is probably your best bet for pure dex/faith scaling. Eclipse shotel also does decently fully upgraded. But both of those aren't lightning.

They scale mainly with str. The twin axes has D scaling in dex, and the longhaft axe got E in dex, so not great options for dex/faith. Of course, scaling isn't everything, but still, they are better suited for str/faith builds.

Barbed staff-spear is a good option though. It is mainly just faith, but it does have innate bleed and that weapon art kinda melts trash mobs.

Another option could be Leda's sword. Although you might want to avoid the weapon art if you go for status, since it will purge them.

If we look at base game, there's the winged scythe and sacred relic sword as options.

Oh right, there's the Eclipse Shotel as well... and Blade of Calling.

Inseparable sword scales almost completely off of Faith and has the alternative GS attack pattern when two-handed. Plus no revive for skeletons. It's been my go-to for most of the DLC and treated me well.

Generally speaking, Pure faith and Dex/faith are locked into fire or sacred damage.

Yea does not feel like there is much going for Dex/Faith

Black knife is worth it for even using 1x to clip a chunk'o'hp as it's a % of max health (10%) they regain the ability to heal to the original cap when the debuff wears off - but lose the clipped 10% on its taking. You can do it from range, and not many enemies heal themselves.

Blade of calling is it's less good sibling, but has a nasty knock back on it for small enemies, and things like bloodfiends or sewer omen (who seem weak to kb).

Keen beast claws and blood flame or lightning weapon enchant is nice.

Bloodflame weapon for some 40 bleed per hit, as opposed to the bleed value multiplied by some motion factor varying per moveset strike I don't fully comprehend. Result: consistent bleed build up and quicker than bleed infuse when no arcane investment.

Dex/faith got a lot of love in the DLC compared to the base game. Impaler spear and death knight twin axes are amazing. Odd that they didn't have a dex/faith scaling seal, though.

Serpent flail is faith/dex scaling, heavy on the faith scaling, handles shields well, and is a very quick WA (buff speed like a flash paper / strong wax, and you can explode it with heavy attacks)

Tbh I find that the biggest loss from what I've read of the DLC, we literally have a Strength/Faith seal in the base game, so clearly it isn't too OP to do
Anything you can change the ash of war on can become dex/faith.

Strength does nothing for casting, dexterity increases casting speed. A dex/faith seal would be the best seal in the game.
