Better than the Longsword?

[Llamatron]

Hi, I'm in the Cleansing Chapel and my fire infused Longsword +3 has stood me in great stead. I love its moveset although it's a bit shortranged. My stats so far are 16 Str 18 Dex so quality I guess. Have I missed any great weapons along the road? Are there any awesome weapons to come? I also have a Hollow Slayer sword but haven't upgraded it as I wasn't sure.

Thanks!

longsword should be good tbh, if not go to the farron keep bonfire next to the posion swamp and find the darkwraith. kill him a couple of times until you get the darksword and then that should carry you through the game.

Estoc is an absolute beast in this game.
Using it in PvP is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥, cause it's pretty OP, but in PvE you're fine. It's great. Sharp infuse that ♥♥♥♥ too.

The Longsword can and will take you through the game against all challengers.

If you want to utterly cheese everything, take a halberd, estoc or ultra greatsword. If you want things to be easier without being just plain unchallenging, stick with the longsword.

well some of us cannot even GET estoc bc greirat is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BROKEN!!!!!

I felt the same way at the start of the game nothing compared to that awesome moveset and stats and I actually went through and beat the whole game with the broadsword which is slightly better and has the same moveset. But now I have actually started using the Dark Sword. I highly recommend the broadsword tho if you like the longsword.

With these low stats, you could get the Astora Straight Sword and infure it with Raw. It scales poorly with stats, but has better base damage, meaning more damage from the Raw infusion. Plus it's pretty long, the more range the better. also weapon buffs on top of it.

also 16 str 18 dex is pretty low, you need way more to even start to feel the damage up. I got 24 str and 25 dex, and some Raw weapons are still dealing more damage than the quality ones with their proper infusions.

Also any weapons with interesting weapon arts are pretty cool, The scythe is great, so is any claw/fist weapons.

I love the longsword. It is an amazing weapon, but I would take a look at the dark sword, you get it from the dark covenant guys. It is a solid weapon that I prefer over my loving longsword

I actually used the Lothric Knight Sword from the time I got it up until the very end. That, and the Farron Greatsword. I haven't messed with any infusions with it though.
