    Dark Souls

    Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Sep 22, 2011

    A quasi-sequel to From Software's action-RPG Demon's Souls, set in a new universe while retaining most of the basic gameplay and the high level of challenge. It features a less-linear world, a new checkpoint system in the form of bonfires, and the unique Humanity system.

    Are ascended weapons reliant on multiple stats?

    I've tried switching one of my weapons to both divine and magic, and have lost huge amounts of damage both times. I'm a dex-based build with only 14 faith and 11 Int, and my weapon does 1/2 to 1/3 damage what it did before the change, despite it saying the damage values are almost similar.

    Not sure if we're having the same problem, but I made the mistake of looking at the weapons base damage stats instead of actually looking at my R. weapon attack stat for a while.

    ^What he said

    It may also be that the enemies you are using them on have a resistance to your weapons additional damage type.

    You can always check the degree to which your weapon scales with a stat on its info page, though the fact that it's a letter grade rather than a number doesn't help.

    Divine and Magic weapons scale with Faith or Intelligence respectively, if you are using a Dex build you shouldn't be crafting either.

    That's what I needed to hear. As soon as I hit the next blacksmith I'm converting back.

    Under a weapon's stats, you'll notice 1 to 3 letters ranging from A to E.  They correspond to how much your str/dex/int/faith stats respectively influence the attack power of that weapon.
