Notes from author
Improved version again, but read below:
The old version (https://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/496267) is still the main version, but this variation is intended to deal with getting poisebroken while swinging the murakumo too often. Therefore, this setup uses the murakumo more extensively to make up for the midroll.
Full set of options (not necessarily exhaustive):
1: Fastroll setup (see link)
2: Midroll setup (this one)
3: Fastroll with wolf ring (can still dodge well but doesn't have the huge critical damage)
4: Midroll with wolf ring (hornet ring isn't utilized as often for backstabs with midroll and wolf ring allows tanking of even 2hr1 ultra greatsword hits, and the murakumo is faster so you can even stunlock a giantdad even if he hit first if you're quick)
5: Fastroll with ninjaflip (easier dodging and backstabs, so poise doesn't matter as much. Doesn't do as much critical damage)
6: Either with ring of fog (Might be useful for forcing lock-on to break and getting roll or running backstabs?)
