Darkmoon blade vs. blessed weapon vs. lightning blade

[OnionBro]

What the title says, i know blessed weapon adds pure physical so its not split damage, but i was wanting opinions.

As always, depends on your build.

[ChazEd]

DMB = magic damage.

LB = lightining damage.

BW = fashion souls IMO.

It depends on your build. And what do you wanna do. PvE or PvP. For PvE if you can skill those 30 faith, then darkmoon or lightning blade, because many bosses are weak to either of these. So it would deal more dmg to them.

For PvP it is kinda hard to say. It kinda depends on an enemy and your whole build itself. For example if you are against somebody with the crown of dusk on aka. caster then darkmoon blade will always be better. But else there is no real difference between them on 30 faith in normal pvp. The dmg output difference between all 3 will be very, very small. With a fast weapon i would probably prefer darkmoon blade because most people have less magic resistance than lightning resistance.

Darkmoon Blade
Lasts 60 seconds
Most Total Dmg
30 faith requirement
Split Dmg into Magic = weakest split dmg type (too many enemies resistant to it)
Pain to aquire

Lighting Blade
Lasts 60 seconds
Middle Total Dmg
30 faith requirement
Split Dmg into Lighting = strongest split dmg type
Aquired mid game

Blessed Weapon
Lasts 45 Seconds
Lowest Total Dmg
15 faith requirement
Pure phsyical
Aquired End Game (unless you early beat the dancer and Dragon Armor)
Regens hp, kills reviving skellies.


Blessed Weapon is perfect for low faith builds at least you only need 10 faith and a faith ring to cast. Its dmg bonus is a flat 7.5% dmg. With the hp regen being based off your faith scaling. 15 faith is a great stoping point for miracle casting actually as well.


Caressing Tears - Remove status debuff
Seek Guidance - Pretty much useless
Force - Occasionaly Useful
Heal - Useful
Replenishment - Surprisingly useful (hold onto this one for a sec)
Magic Barrior - Useful
Med Heal - Useful
Tears of Denial - Useful
Atonement - Not very Useful imo
Gnaw - Situational



Thats a lot of utility for only 15 faith.

Now lets look at Replenishment real quick

Replenishment is 5hp a second
Ancient Dragon Greatshield is 2hp a second
Sun Princess Ring is 2hp a second
Anri's Straight Sword is 2hp every 2 seconds
Blessed Weapon spell is 2hp a second if you meet the requirements for the chime/talisman

If we average anri's to 1hp a second we get

12hp a second regeneration. Kind of niffty.

At 16 str, 10 dex, 15 faith and 40 luck you will deal 391 dmg with the Anri's straightsword, and with blessed weapon up you will deal 420dmg.


At soul level 43 with a warrior you can acchieve all of your core combat and utility stats leaving the remaining 77 levels to go into vigor, vitality, endurance, and attunement. Overall a very nasty build.

Im not interested in any luck, i said i have 66 strength and 40 faith, so which is best for that.

[space madness]

If you are using weapons with high AR (likely at 66 str) then blessed weapon might be best, because you aren't splitting damage and the % damage added is even more on the harder hitting weapons, plus hp regen, and it looks good.

The elemental buffs would be better for faster weapons, but it also depends what you are going up against and what their defenses are.
