Highest weapon dps?

[Torllay]

Hi, i just wanna make my ignorant buold with a really big dps, so. What's the highest dps in Dark Souls 3. Any weapon with a very higher dps.

[garjian]

DPS?

Probably Longsword.

[Ǵ̶͓̂͑lí̴̤̀̄́tcĥ̸]

Yup, if you're quality building (high strength and high dexterity) then a Refined Longsword +10 is a very good way to go.

[Torllay]

Yeah, i'm searching a weapon with a very high damage. Only longsword, nothing more "rude"?

high damage and high dps are not the same thing.

Also nobody is being rude. Highest damage is probably something like point blank dragonslayer greataxe weapon art. High dps is probably one of the straight swords.

Nope.
I was thinking of mentioning Dark Sword, but the higher stamina costs mean you'll attack less often, and thus lower DPS.

Longsword.

Longsword.

What kind of build i can make to use Dark Sword with a high dps? Mine, +7 heavy does 270.

Yeah, you're already doing it.

Hollow with high Luck and base stats to weild the weapon might be stronger.
Eventually Refined with high STR and DEX will be stronger.

Ultimately, you're already doing very high DPS.

Dark sword is trash, Useless HA and weapon art is so n so, the normal longsword has a much more viable moveset and weaponarts.

We're not talking about movesets and weapon arts, were talking about DPS.

Still Longsword beats Dark Sword for that.

[Psicraft]

How much difference is there between longsword and broadsword? Are we just taking light, right-hand attacks into account for 'dps'?

[ПАПА ПУДЖ]

Sharp Sellsword Twinblades,had the biggest dps in the game

I'm sure that with 'rude' he was referring to the weapon, aka something more threatening (visually) than a glorified toothpick ;)

Lothric Knight Greatsword, sharp infused, add Blade of the Darkmoon / Lightning Blade buff on it through Yorshka's Chime, add Sacred Oath and Deep Protection, also, Lothric's Banner if you want that extra bit of damage but one handed only, and boom, you got yourself a real beast, over 1k without sacrificing your hp or doing some shady rough tactics to get like 2k and one shot anything but also being one shotted in turn things go sideways.

If you want to start with something simple and fresh but decent and cool enough, pick Pyromancer. Go with this path :

Pick a Longsword, make it dark infused or ask someone to drop you a dark infused Longsword. Increase only :

vigor 25
endurance 23
intelligence 60
faith 60
vitality 20 - if you want to wear something extra

Equip in your right hand the dark infused Longsword and in your left hand the Pyromancy Flame, make them +10 as soon as you can but don't stress yourself over it, make your way to the Ancient Demon King and kill him to get Chaos Bed Vestiges for Pyromancy Flame. Reason why you need a Longsword with this Dark Pyro Knight build, is because, a dark infused Longsword gets an A scaling from Intelligence and Faith. That's quite a lot for a simple and starting weapon like that, it's also light, decently fast and really good and viable to use, even at the end game. That build, may have existed before, but I came on that idea on my own when I was searching around to find something that would let me enjoy playing as a caster, while also making me feeling familiar with a swordplay, and that build cannot go wrong in pve at least, maybe for some pvp, too.

I see some really good and solid answers from the previous users, up to you. Good luck!

On a quality build, wouldn't the lothric knight straight sword be better than the long sword?
He'll have the stats to wield both anyway
