I find even with light weapons I'm often trading hits. So if I'm gonna trade hits and can only get one attack in any way, why not have it do a shit ton of damage? This is the biggest problem with ultra aggro bosses that give you very small windows to get one attack in. Why would you ever use a small, light, weak hitting weapon over something huge which will make that one hit count?

I wanted to run a Malenia build but it feels like I will have to respec back into jumping R2 heavy weapon or some shit :/ Or maybe the ole reliable Moonlight sword str int build

I run the Moonsword. It is decent, but something other than your ass needs to take agro from bosses. That R2 is long to charge and it is a tiny bit slow even when not charged.

If you can use moonsword, you can cast spells. Nightcomet+cannon of Haima+ if you have faith deathbird explosion, if not, Zamor ice storm. He dies pretty fast.
