Straight Sword - Drakekeeper Sword. This thing looks sexy, has incredible reach, and looks sexy.
Greatsword - Claymore. Can't exactly the knock the classics, thing carried me in DS1, it also carried me in DS2
Ultra Greatsword - Fume Ultra Greatsword. That block though, and poke? Shit also hits like a freight train.
Axe - Don't play with these really, but from the people I've fought the Battleaxe is like playing with an Aimbot in an FPS.
Greataxe - Drakekeepers Greataxe. Looks smexy, hits hard. 1h R1 running attack is glorious.
Hammer - Craftmans Hammer. A Hammer with the Straightsword 1h moveset that also does Strike damage? Yes please.
Great Hammer - Giant Warrior Club. The Damage should that needs to be said.
Rapier - Estoc. It's more versatile than it's Rapier counter parts and seems to have longer reach, plus I like to play Strength builds so it's pretty much my only option among Rapiers.
Katana - Washing Pole. Going to have to go with my Sephiroth Fangirldom, I feel like bringing down the Meteor when using this thing. Definitely can poke at it from the ground though.
Dagger - Dagger, gotta keep it classic.
Spear - Santier's Spear. Yeah yeah I'm one of those guys, moveset is amazing, and lets you venture more into defensive stats while having decent damage in the 3m-5m sm range.
Lance - Yorgh's Spear. Mmmmmm....
Halberd - Mastadon Halberd. Can't say much about it it's one of the few Halberds I used for a bit, good moveset and damage. It's what you'd expect out of a Halberd.
Reaper - Scythe of Want. That 2h R2.
Bow - Huntsmans Bow. Quick like a shortbow, has the distance of a longbow. Perfect for sniping those little bitches in Amana.
Crossbow - Sanctum Crossbow. Not much to pick from for Crossbows, This one just has a unique look and a passive poison that's great for slow killing Giants.
Greatbow - Possessed Greatbow. Can't say much about it, but this one is purely fashion souls.
