I am fairly new to Dark Souls and only played it twice and I am extremely noob. I failed in defeating the huge amored guys just before Dragonrider with a sword that was going 217 damage per swing, but I tried DPS (80 damage dagger) over DPH and I was easily able to defeat all the mobs before fighting Dragonrider, now my friend argued that DPH would triumph over DPS but I argued back that if 1 swing of 200 damage takes 1.5 seconds as opposed to 2 swings of 80 damage in 1 second that DPS or a few seconds is better in some cases but then he opposed the arguemnt completely and said DPS has no affect in this game and that raw DPH is what brings you victory, I need some opinions and facts if they exist.
