I never liked the Heide Sword moveset either.Dirty Hipsters said:The only thrusting attack that the heide knight sword has is a rolling thrust as far as I'm aware. One handed heavy attack is just a wide horizontal swing.
If you are using the Winged Spear now, that must mean you have at least 18dex, right? If you dont mindt putting 8 more points in dex you could really go for the Black Knight Halberd or the Heide Spear. Then you had a Cleric with a really good weapon and had the option to go for a cool dex/faith build later if you like.
