why does Snake constantly post bad advice in dark souls threads? this guy is playing pve not pvp. you know, the mode where fastroll katanas arent the only viable option.
i'd reccommend using the longsword for your first pve run. it's fairly balanced in speed, power, stat scaling. it's basically the Ryu of das weapons. you can upgrade it however you like but most people just do the normal upgrade path because the scaling remains the best that way
also, stop fucking spoiling the game's areas and drops and shit, the first blind run is the best way to experience the game and you can only do it once. ffs
