The reason for the mura, it's an excellent 1 handed weapon, it's 1 handed R2->R2 combo is deadly. The best weapon for Artorias' Greatshield, so classy. Backup Estoc for some turtling, little poke finish.

Nice to see the Mura getting some love!

The mura is one of those few weapons that have horrible moveset when 2 handed, only good for stunlocking. Other weapons are the straight swords, but they really like to R2 and roll away, so medium rolling is not viable for them. Can't think of a better weapon... Maybe the katanas. The build would had been perfect with 30 Faith for a buff, GMB, Great Heal and WoG, and a Str weapon, maybe a greataxe. Tanks +Faith is awesome.

you should use the cleansing shield when the dlc comes out, it might have less stability but if you know how to manage your stamina that shield is so much better.

I don't like the idea of only having 80 Physical defense. The dark hand can parry and negate all damage, and is generally light enough for you to roll away, but with the Cleansing shield and mid roll, you'll be forced to take hits.

Switch the mura to off hand (L) it swings as fast as battle axe then. Well atleast it does on Xbox havent seen anything for it on Ps3

It does, but I would use that for fast roll.
