Don't even bother with Dragon weapons, you'll easily be outdamaging the Drake Sword if you have a weapon with even C Scaling soon enough if you simply upgrade it and raise the stat/stats it scales with.I'd suggest going with a weapon with a B scaling minimum. Some weapons also upgrade in scaling when upgraded, such as the Uchigatana going from B scaling with Dexterity to A scaling around +10.

Awright, ignore dragon stuff, got it! Yeah, I was thinking getting a katana or halberd (scythe) would be nice. Of course, they wouldn't be available form the start, right?

I'll run past the dragon. Get the claymore, kick ass with it untill I get better gear.

OVWERWATCH, IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO DODGE AN OPPONENT.ALWAYS.THERE IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE.IF YOU CAN, DODGE IT.ONLY BLOCK WHEN YOU HAVE TO.ALWAYS DODGE WHENEVER POSSIBLE

This is what I planned on doing. I am one to sacrifice defence for mobility, because, if you can assault your opponent, and, dodge their attacks, there is no point in defence. Of course, I'd only sacrifice a necessary amount of defence.
