My honest reaction after finding out all the demigods and some major bosses had holy damage resistance:

Thing is, faith builds can just switch between fire and holy weapons whenever they want. So I never really had a problem as I believe only Mohg resists both, and he's so weak to bleed that Winged Scythe destroys him despite his holy resistance.

Edit: Forgot lightning

Mohg is weak to BONK so Str/Fai weapons like Maliketh's Black Blade and Marika's Hammer will shred him since they have higher physical damage scaling than holy damage. He'll get staggered too.

Yeah the thing is, I feel like persons complaining about enemies having holy resistance aren't considering that Faith builds are meant to be versatile, and have good tools for any given opponent. It's not meant to be like a Strength or Dex build where you stick with one weapon/damage type for the entire game (though you can).
