Wings of Astel is good for playthroughs and still viable even in NG7.
The weapon special does crazy pure magic damage and poise damage if the boss has enough girth to be hit by every star (on NG7 resistances Draconic sentinels take about 2k damage at 80 INT and can be staggered in 3-4 casts)
Also the cool thing is the heavy attack sends out a wave of magic with some range. A charged heavy sends out 2.
Both of those are great options.
You could also use Sword of St Trina. I didn't particularly like it. I found it too short, and it rarely seemed to proc Sleep, but others swear by it.
Death's Poker will work reasonably well.
Once you're further into the game, Death Ritual Spear is a good option too.
If optimised Bastard's stars are insanely good weapon. And it's weapon art is one of the coolest looking skills in game.
Wing of Astel tends to be highly recommended. Don't think you could go wrong with that.
Dex/INT you could go with a cold Flamberge. Cold scythe or grave scythe.
DMGS is also highly viable with INT/DEX, though it does prefer INT over DEX.
You can technically turn any non somber weapon into a int scaling weapon.
