You can mix light medium and heavy to your benefit quite easily. Also be willing to change up the arnor based on your area. High poison resistance for Blightown, Poison and Curse res for the depths. Undeadburg is mostly physical types of damage with some fire. lower Undeadburg has that sneaky bleeding damage but you will pick up on all of that. Aside from Havel's (super heavy) set it is hard to find a really good set that covers it all. To add to this, a 100% Physical block shield with higher stability can be a good substitute for poise if you don't rush into areas and get surrounded. Spider Shield is ideal for Blighttown as it has average stability and 100% poison block as well.
