What are your favorite weapon movesets?

Discussion

I am curious what people enjoy using the most as far as weapon movesets go. For me:

Greatsword: The simple ultra great sword is the one weapon I have the hardest time playing without. The rhythmic pattern of the one-handed moveset just feels perfect, and the 270° Arc of complete annihilation perfectly handles any large density mob encounters, and you can switch to the two-handed moveset for additional damage and reach against single targets.

Big Hammer Pancake: hard to argue with this one, Even if the entire weapon class ends up only being used for one move it is an insanely good move. This is how I got through the Sir Alonne runback without ever taking damage.

Bandit Axe: this one caught me by surprise because I honestly do not like weapons with short reach in this game. Case in point I know a lot of people swear by the mace but I absolutely despise that weapon it feels terrible to use because the range is so short and the swings are so awkward. The bandit axe on the other hand has a two-handed moveset that kind of just feels like a miniature version of the one-handed greatsword but sacrificing the wide area for faster attack speed. This weapon became a shockingly reliable boss killer late in my miracle run When the slower greatsword was struggling to keep up with some of the DLC bosses.
