Best PVE Dex Weapons?

[Airu]

Im working on a DEX INT build and im trying to find a good weapon for killing bosses before i can get to NG+ and get enough INT to start using CMW (so no weapons that rely on buffs). I've been using Great Scythe up until now, but i want to try out other weapons as well.

Murakumo, 28 str, 40 dex + enchant
Uchigatana 40 dex + ench

What about getting 15 INT for Great Magic Weapon and casting it with Oolacile Ivory Catalyst (until i can get more INT and better buffs)? Would that help with the damage output? Which weapon should i use with that?

Titanite Catch Pole is also a good option, even tough it can't be enchanted.

If you can get the drop, absolutely, it's OP early in the game.

But it's no dex weapon.

If I recall, isn't ricard's rapier exceptional for PVE once you buff it?

I think I remember something about the individual hits of the r2 combos still doing the full buff's bonus damage, I've never tried it myself though.

EDIT: I didn't read the original post, my bad. BSS is a pretty solid choice, and if you have 16 strength you've got a ton of options, the first things that come to mind are Chaos Blade and Flamberge.

oh yeah, i was thinking just about the int. He mentioned that he would do an INT/DEX build. I didn't notice he was going for int just in NG+.... my bad

If you're going to have high dex, your best bet is probably the great scythe or a katana. If you're fighting an enemy you can't bleed but still want to put down quickly, falchion/pgs with gold pine resin. Quelaag's Furysword +5 with 10 humanity at high dex is also pretty strong. When you get to NG+ and level up your int, any of the above with CMW, plus Velka's and the MLGS and MLBH. BSS is also an option, but the dps will be lower than the falchion without leo ring, I think. Rapiers and daggers are your friends on enemies you can riposte.

Dex is for nerds get a great club

Dex...funny way of shortening down the word Strength.

Also, Velka's Rapier. It's just a fun little weapon. Can't say it's "Good." But it's the one I like the most.

Silver Knight Spear trivializes many enemies and bosses.

Int/Dex Build = +15 Falchion + CMW + TCC.

Is Flamberge any good? Its R2 seems to be quite fast. While i can't get much INT before NG+ i should be able to get enough for Great Magic Weapon, which weapon should i use with it? Propably Uchi, since Falchion/Ricard's Rapier is better with buffs like CMW

Flamberge is kinda meh in my opinion... with great magic weapon you should try the falchion or Ricard's rapier, that multi-thrust combo is godlike if it's buffed.

I thought its good only with CMW, didn't know GMW had enough damage to it to be good with Ricard's. Until i can get 15 INT i'll upgrade Uchi to +14 and see whats it like, it does deal slash damage tho so not sure what its like against bosses (Great Scythe has the AR to deal enough damage regardless)

Ricard's always good when buffed
