It gives a really good qualitative run down LW and CW. The only thing it lacks is some insane n dimesnional spread sheet comparing the all the different permutations between stats and weapons. What I got out of the guide and from this thread is that LW is better if you have any kind of magic scaling build. CW is better if your damage scales with physical stats and your magical stat requirements are low enough that you can use a cracked ToB.

i know that LW scales with Mag, how much Mag should someone using LW have for it to be better than CW? (or i am i wrong)

I think what you may mean is using a cracked catalyst, which means you do not meet the required stats to use it, There is a good explanation of it here: http://demonssouls.wikidot.com/forum/t-237747/no-broken-bonus-for-cursed-weapon

People take high magic to greatly assist with Light Weapon on the BBS. Cursed Weapon is primarily used with a "cracked" ToB on Dex/Str builds.

I assume it depends on whether your character is built for physical damage or magical damage. I'm trying to get a BBS build together and I'm having a hard time figuring out which of the two spells I should get since I haven't had any experience with either of them. Right now my damage stats are

Str: 18 (I'm going to level this down and stick with DSS) 22 (For PFS once I grab it)
Dex: 18
Mag: 18
Will: 18

I apologize for not having my complete build, but I don't remember everything off the top of my head at the moment. Any feedback related to my build, or any general comments bout LW vs. CW would be greatly appreciated. : ) Thanks in advance.
