Best buff

Depends on your magic scaling and the catalyst you are using; the most stat efficent is Carthus Flame Arc, but the strongest buffs are Darkmoon Blade/Sunlight Blade for faith builds and Crystal Magic Weapon for int, for hybrid int/faith I'd assume that Dark Weapon is slightly better than Carthus if you are using a well suited talisman/chime for dark miracles.

Probably blessed weapon because it adds physical ar. Crystal magic weapon, darkmoon blade, and lightning blade are all equivalent afaik.

The thing is, im only going Int or Faith to be able to use the buff. So my question is, between Darkmoon/sunlight and Crystal Magic Weapon, which one is better?

Which ones best is situational basedon enemy resistances

Not taking resistances into account, just overall AR

in reality, it doesnt really matter. For faith, its both Darkmoon and sunlight, one being purely magic damage and the other one being lightning.

Carthus is the best "Situational" one because while there are more enemies somewhat resistant to fire, there are no enemies who have flailing stun animations in reaction to other damage types.

So even a tiny bit of fire damage will make certain enemies much, MUCH easier, compared to having a good a mount of lightning, dark, or magic.

Carthus also has the lowest stat requirements, can be found relativly early, and lasts 90 seconds by default. While some are shorter duration.

If you are talking PvP though, Carthus is much less impressive due to fire damage being the easiest elemental resist for players to have.

Darkmoon and Crystal are the same kind of buffs just with different stat req.
Sunlight is probably the best since there aren't many NPCs resistant to Lightning and only noticable one is Nameless King.

Best weapon buff? well this is certainly not going to make me any friends but Ill tell the truth. Carthus but not flame arch no Im talking blood rouge here. point for point pound for pound much less stuff resists bleed be they pve or pvp. plus their easy to farm and the bleed procs are pretty sizable even without good luck stat.

necro aside, carthus rouge is good mostly on dual weapons. otherwise, something like human resin is probably better because you cant walk away to negate it and enemies aren't necessarily extremely resistant to it
