Straight Swords. My favorite weapon doesn't scale because Dark Souls is a poorly developed piece of crap. Armor also doesn't do crap. Whenever I create new files, I take just about all my armor off, so damage received is minimal and I can still move and gain stamina quickly. There's no point in equipping armor other than looking cool.
Maybe Dark Souls 2 will be a competent release. Dark Souls sure as hell isn't.
