The Silver Knight straight sword looks cool and has high base damage, but it falls off hard scaling-wise compared to standard reinforcement straight swords. It's also worth noting that lightning in Dark Souls 1 does not scale with faith, so you won't get very much out of the Dragonslayer Spear. Your best bet for a pure faith build would most likely either be an occult upgrade weapon, or a standard upgrade with either Sunlight or Darkmoon blade.

lightning doesnt give scaling, it does the same thing as fire and removes it XD

i'm gonna get the darkmoon talisman too (gonna be a pain to get 30 souveniers ;-;) and then after that, betray gwyndolin and steal his soul/sunlight blade to buff the straight sword (i got the shield and sword, upgraded sword to +3) i plan to have the 2 lightning spears (not in ng+ yet) and healing miracles to help outside of battle

That is the lightning upgrade path, I was talking about how weapons like the Dragonslayer Spear that have lightning damage by default are not ideal for faith builds.

the silver knight straight sword is doing less damage then the divine rapier, should i abandon it or just be patient for sunlight blade?

Even with sunlight blade, the damage from the silver knight straight sword is going to suck as compared to a standard upgrade weapon with the same buff. It just does not have very good scaling. When you have so much faith as compared to dex/str though, occult or divine weapons are going to be better.

i looked up the dragonslayer spear... it requires 24 str/dex and i cant do that due to the fact it would take forever/alot of souls and i wouldnt be able to level faith.

but apparently it says this (i literally just copy pasted it from the wiki)

Dexterity Scaling does towards Phys. Damage, while Faith scaling contributes to Lightning damage.

does that mean i should sacrifice faith points for dex/str?
