Matscon is right. Most boss soul weapons are pretty good but require a pretty specific playstyle or are otherwise hindered. Personally for dual-magic builds i prefer using velka's talisman, it's easier to aquire albeit a little pricy and having a few healing spells as a sorcerer is always nice compared to having a few soul arrows as a cleric.

Also, funnily enough, i've noticed that a lot of soul weapons are weak against the boss who drops the relevant soul.

furysword: Quelaag is immune to fire

MB Horn: the butterfly is quite resistant to magic

Dragonslayer Spear: Ornstein is crazy-resistant to lightning

Smough's Hammer: smough can really punish the windup of this weapon esp. in lightning form

Golem Axe: what is this actually strong against?

Darkmoon catalyst: Gwyndolin can so out magic spam you

Darkmoon bow: ditto with arrows

Manus' Catalyst: you really wanna try setting up magics here?

Lifehunt scythe: Do you really want two sources of the strongest bleed effect in the game going at you?
