The thing about souls weapons/spells is that it's typically risk vs. reward. a smaller weapon like the falchion or broadsword gives a user friendly source of damage to be sure, but a lower return on investment once you learn the games' finickier bits, a larger weapon on the other hand, is going to get you hit alor if you're new to the serier, but once you get the hang of it are VERY potent pieces of kit. I've personally never successfully soloed the iron golem fight with anything smaller than an uchi, even then it had to be two-handed. A weapon like the Halberd is a nice "stopping power" weapon that's still easy to use, but that's in the minority and it still has the whole "stagger if you miss" mechanic not to mention i can't seem to hit blighttown's mosquitos with any of it's moveset to save my life. Besides, a lot of people, myself included, do a wiki walk to check out new builds or as pre-play research. I do agree that "D15 W34P0N 15 L337 H4X" is unprofessional but I see no problem with "low damage, dependable", "Very high DPS, cumbersome" or "Good all around weapon" type synopses
