Recommended Weapons & Ash of War:

1.Weapon: Sacred Relic Sword   Ash of War: Wave of Gold

This weapon has a B scaling in Dexterity and a C scaling in Faith and can be wielded either two-handed or with another weapon in the offhand.

Wave of Gold is one of the best farming skills in the game due to its range, width, and also full Faith scaling.  One such area would be where there are several Albinaurics near the Palace Approach Ledge-Road Site of Grace at Mohgwyn Dynasty Mausoleum.  Equipping the Ancestral Spirit's Horn will gain back the FP spent to cast the skill if its used to farm large groups of enemies.

In PvP, the width and range of Wave of Gold may catch players off guard and will result in them taking a lot of damage.  The FP cost is higyh but can be made cheaper with a Talisman like Carian Filigreed Crest and investing several points in Mind.

2.Weapon: Godslayer Greatsword   Ash of War: The Queen's Black Flame

Playstyle: This weapon has a B scaling in Dexterity and a C scaling in Faith. It's recommended to wield this weapon two-handed and has quick light attacks for a Colossal Sword.

Its skill, The Queen's Black Flame, is very useful in reducing the health of bosses which makes taking them down easier. While it is a bit slow, one hit in PvP can take out a large amount of health and its wind up swing also deals damage and causes HP reduction.

3.Weapon: Halo Scythe   Ash of War: Miquella's Ring of Light

   Weapon: Halo Scythe   Ash of War: Miquella's Ring of Light

Playstyle: These weapons have a C scaling in Dexterity and a D scaling in Faith. Wielding two means that they can be powerstanced with L1 and make triggering Hemorrhage faster.

Miquella's Ring of Light scales off of Faith and can be spammed as long as FP and Stamina allow, making this tricky to dodge in PvP and can also be used to poke enemies at a distance in PvE. It's also useful against enemies using shields in both PvP and PvE due to the weapon's innate ability to ignore a certain percentage of a shield's block.

4.Weapon: Winged Scythe   Ash of War: Angel's Wings

   Weapon: Winged Scythe   Ash of War: Angel's Wings

Playstyle: These weapons have a C scaling in both Dexterity and Faith. Wielding two means that they can be powerstanced with L1 and make triggering Hemorrhage easier.

While not useful in PvE, Angel's Wings has a niche in PvP in that enemies hit by it cannot temporarily heal using Flasks of Crimson Tears (but can heal using the Flask of Wondrous Physick). This can make Invaders level the playing field a little more against the Host and their friends if they are hit by this skill.

5.Weapon: Beastclaw Greathammer   Ash of War: Regal Beastclaw

Playstyle: This weapon has a C scaling in Dexterity and a D scaling in Faith.  It's recommended to wield it two-handed and to use R1 attacks for faster swings.

It's skill is powerful both in PvP and PvE as it can stagger enemies and even some bosses.  In PvP, its range can fool some players and can deal large amounts of damage if they are hit.  The slam also has its own instance of damage, so it can one-shot players if they are hit by both the slam and the ensuing AoE.
