So, I am doing an evasive knight for my playthrough (basically, no shield + fast roll), using the logic "If lord Gwyn didn't need a shield, neither do I".

I cannot think of a good weapon to go with, It seems they all have some flaw. Currently I have a choice between a hard-hitting weapon which is not too heavy (Greatsword of Artorias, Mace, etc.) or a faster weapon that I can easily combo with (Katanas, straight swords, spears, etc).

Stats aren't really a problem for me, since this is purely a PVE build. I was thinking of choosing the GSoA, but it can't be buffed, and its moveset is not as good as the Abyss Greatsword one (but the Abyss Greatsword is not a knightly weapon at all: Any help would be appreciated with picking up a good weapon. I don't mind the GSoA, but is there actually a better weapon that can be buffed?
