Always loved the look of this straight sword its a medieval classic but I never used it much before as there are simply better swords at around this weight and like most DS PvP addicts, I'll use weapons that I feel are "the best" in a particular area such as reach or speed or critical damage etc the straight sword is decent in most areas but well PvP.. gotta use the better option, can often win or lose by those small margins. That said, I've started using a +5 chaos straight sword just because I love the look and I'm delighted to report it's a much better sword than I gave it credit for. Yes there are better swords at this weight but its not far behind and in some cases its better, I cant really say I've suffered from using it, the two handed attacks are brilliant, particularly an R1 R1 R2 combo, 3 fast and very fluid slices stepping forward each time and covering a wide arc stacking a lot of damage
