Most of the run. I used the antspur rapier for a lot of the game- good shield poke, rot, and accepts ashes. Usually do blood, but sometimes poison for double status build up.
For malenia I used morghwyn's huge blood spear.
There's probably other good poke weapons too, but this is what I've been using.
It's a fun play style. I'm just getting into the DLC with it. Worked really well on the divine beast dancing lion.
