Chill

the weapons you listed are used by those that serve the gods, of course they scale with faith. your random lightning weapon has nothing to do with the gods. quit your crying.

Calm down mate

Git Gud Kid

Aww dont cry

I like how only one of these answers is almost a legitimate reason and the rest are just the dark souls community being jackasses as per usual. Lightning doesn't scale with faith because they already have stupidly high base damage and there was already a faith scaling upgrade path.

they do right. lightning ascended weapon already have an outrageous damage output add to those a faith scaling sound ridicolous

Dude I cant hear you over your crying

Then take the damn lightning infusion for its damage and quit *****ing. You faith will still matter for miracles, and if you use a second divine weapon/shield.

You are probably one of the*****est neckbeards I have ever seen, lmao. REEEEEE WHAT WAS MIYAZAKI THINKING Like you've ever made a video game. Grow the ***** up.

Go back to ds3 you *****ing pleb

There is no god! Sleep tight!

'lightning already has high base damage, so to give it scaling would be ridiculous'... lmao idiot... well obviously if they gave it scaling, then they would reduce its base damage..

I smell a salty *****

1. It's an ascension not an infusion 2. It actually really does make sense since it's the better equivalent of raw like crystal is to quality 3. Either way it would have been balanced so it doesn't matter 4. People like you make people like me(started with bloodborne then ds3 then demon souls then ds1 right now and code vein and nioh not want to come back to these older games communities because retards like you complaining about stuff not always being the same then as it is now is ****ing stupid go back to ds3 and wallow alone plebian while I enjoy my new favorite souls upgrade system with my +5 crystal uchigatana

Most underrated comment in this wiki I've seen. Good job mate

Divine scales magic dmg with faith, lightning is supposed to be for split dmg for raw, and lightning is already op, it requires no levels beyond the basics and has the same total damage as some enhancements at 40 in the main stat, the reason the DSS, GH and other weapons that scale with faith is because they are the weapons of the worshipers of Gwyn, if you want lighting scaling try one of those or lightning spears, there are like 30 weapons that scale lightning with faith, you are telling us you can't find a single one that works with your RP? If so try dark souls 3, because what you really want is an op af faith weapon to go with your faith build and your dad cause faith in ds3 is trash.

Anon 30 July 2020 has made some pretty good points. I will pin-point that comparing a game, the third in the series, made in 2016 to a game made literally FIVE years beforehand, aka the 1st game in 2011, is quite asinine, nonsensical and sub par intellectually as it makes no logical sense. This is how things worked first before they changed. Also, Giant's Halberd does NOT have Faith scaling it only deals bonus Lightning damage.

DS community being jackasses? No. Those were the proper responses to the tone of his statement.

Spastic prick

Yeah, it's not like there were two upgrade paths that scale with faith.

As much as the FromSoft games can have nonsensical, illogical choices in weapons stats..., what you said is not even fully correct nor is it worth reading.

+4 to +5 requires a slab. Remember, to make it a lightning weapon in the first place, you've already ascended it to +10. So it makes sense that it would be a slab.

yeah i think all upgrade paths are like that cuz the regular path the first two upgrades and all the other ones are like that. Even going from +6 to +7 only takes 2 large titanite shards in total so idk maybe its like that with all paths

This is quite a wholesome and tactical post. I do not understand the dislikes unless it's from people that died from him repeatedly.

People don’t like it bc they didn’t think of it first probably

The people dislike him cuz maxing out weapons to do PVP at low SL is a sh.t advice

You've gotta get weapons to +5 for Fire (from catacombs blacksmith) or +10 for lightning (from Anor Londo blacksmith)

Also, you'll need the large ember from the depths to go from +5 to +6, and be sure to check under Modify instead of Upgrade at each of the break points (+5 to +6 or fire, +10 to lightning)

Yes, it does. Open the upgrade table for any weapon and you'll see no parameter bonus for lightning, fire and chaos upgrades

Sorry I got your question wrong. When a weapon has no scaling, you won't get any parameter bonus for physical nor elemental damage.

Any Weapon that upgrades along the Standard path such as the Short Sword or Club, etc.

Yes, and no it depends upon your stats. Lightning does not receive any parameter bonuses based on stats, BUT by default it receives a large base damage with combined Lightning and Physical damage.

-- continued:

Similar to Raw and Fire, it is a great candidate for low level or specialized builds.

Lightning will remove the damage scaling bonuses you get with a lot of weapons. For example, the uchigatana has a great scaling with dex of B and eventually A as you upgrade it. So increasing dex makes it do a lot more damage, but making it lightning screws this over. But, for weapons that have terrible scaling/none to begin with, this can be a great option. you can always just revert it after ascending if you think you messed up.

i upgraded it to 6 now i cant upgrade anymore please help

when get +5 then modify to + 6 and go back to normal upgrade and upgrade it to +10, ez

Get the large ember. Then you just need titanite chunks and a titanite slab and your good.
