Fire or lightning for weapon?

[The Bro Stump]

As the title says i would like some adivce on what to buff my weapon with when seeing McDuff. My current toon im playing with has 52 faith and i am using dex based weapons. Also ideas to what to buff your shields with when facing magic/Hex usuers would be helpful. Thanks for any advice. :)

Magic and dark for shields provided the shield has a high base in one of those. Kinda self explanitory there. Personally fire or lightning is personal preference. You probably have close to the same fire/lightning attack rating. I use both. Lightning tends to be more useful I find out in the world.

It depends on whether your fire bonus or lightning bonus is higher, and if you have sunlight blade, flame weapon, or both.

If you only have one of the spell enchants for your weapons, you want to go with that damage type. If you get the other later, you can switch it fairly easily anyway.

I have both (power stanced fire and ligthing claymores) but fath buffs ligtning and fire so ether will be good for you.
The transgressors shield when you add a dark stone to it gives 100% dark magic reduction its allso a small shield so it gives you a good parrying shield (has the same parry frames as the buckler/target shield.)

I have noticed a good amount of enemies and bosses are weaker to lightning.

look on your stat page for the Fire/Lght/Mag/Dark "BNS" or bonus value, the highest one will generally be the best infuse/enchant on a weapon with equal elem properties

Lighting tends to be better pve/pvp than fire. That being said certain bosses that are strong against lighting are weak against fire. So having 2 or 3 weapons infused with differnt elements will work out as well to.

What is your dex at? You can always use the regular weapon with no infusion.

He has 52 faith, hes going to get more mileage out of a fire/lighting infuesed weapon than a regular +10 anyway.

I have compared fire and lightning, and lightning usually comes out better. Many enemies are weak to it, and it does well in PVP too.
