Can use a big diversity of weapons, Grass Crest Shield for Stamina regen (duh) I used those armor pieces because Smough belly + Sack look fun IMO and along with catarina gauntlets and hollow soldier waistcoth they give 55 poise and you're still fat rolling. You can put any weapon combination of 8 weight unit. I would put a Balder Side Sword and a Scythe (regular)
