I actually had to grind 14 Faith to be able to use the Astora's Straight Sword. I was super disappointed when my attacks were doing 29 damage with R1. I have a Drake Sword that does 200 damage per hit.
Why is Astora’s Straight Sword so bad

The issue isn't so much with the Astora's sword, but the Drake sword.
It's a Trap! The Drake Sword and you
You need more than faith for the sword, since it will have other stats for scaling, but I recommend the above article so you build your character properly for the late game.
