It's a little muddy, I equipped a Lightning Longsword because it's a good weapon, but I also threw Darkmoon Blade into the mix, in which case you'd want a +15 weapon rather than Lightning. I'm begging you not to wear this equip set but it does hit a good Poise breakpoint. If you want meta, take it to 120, if you want the build to be interesting, take it to 99. It gives you a ton more ammo and you can make use of them in the runs to bosses. In 1v1 it's just too slow to use.Įven when you have GLS, consider taking a stack or two of the regular Lightning Spears. GLS is awful in 1v1 meta, and your mileage may vary in a clusterfuck like Forest PvP or Dark Londo PvP- both are built around streams of invaders, so if you're defending with friends, GLS is pretty decent for surprise snipes. For a high level faith build, I would carry a Lightning Longsword or something. Faith scaling weapons aren't great, but you can have some fun with Grant if you crank Strength. Having run enough Occult/Divine weapons in my time, it's really not worth it. If it looks like a demon or has demon in the name, GLS will give them a hard time. You're basically on the right track, GLS deletes most bosses. The game isn't designed in a good way to never use a physical weapon, not without high level Sorceries, but fortunately, Lightning infused weapons are incredibly good.

For PvE, especially if you summon npcs/friends, GLS is spectacular.
