Should I enchant heavy crossbow with lighting or raw?

[max]

I have around 40 faith (gonna get it to about 50 soon) so I dont know if i should infuse it with raw or lightning

[LightOfJudgment]

I'd honestly infuse it with Raw since it'll give you a good ranged option that does straight physical damage. I don't think the scaling it gains with lightning infusion is worth the split damage.

Fire lets you blow up barrels with any ammo, another possibility.

PS. From what I understand resistance works on a percentage basis now. In DS1 split damage was heavily hit by multiple resistances, but with it being percent based there really isn't a penalty for split damage unless the target has high resistance to the new damage type.

DS1:
250 - 75 = 175
(125 - 75) + (125 - 75) = 100

DS2:
250 - 30% = 175
(125 - 30%) + (125 - 30%) = 175

also.. do heavy crossbows actually drop from the royal swordsman? because i have killed every one of them in the lost bastille and sinners rise until they despawned and i never got one...

There is a Heavy Crossbow +3 in a chest in Lower Earthen Peak, jump over the insta death deep water to a hanging ledge next to a desert sorceress.

The path is Majula -> Huntsman's Copse -> Harvest Valley (very short) -> Earthen Peak
Requires you have Licia from Heide's Tower in Majula, and requires you to kill the Skeleton Lords

OP, for weapons without scaling, Raw, Mundane, or Enchanted works best. For your crossbow, just use Raw as the elemental damage isn't worth having a useless weapon against anything with resistances.
