Longbow/Bow is ridiculous for stringing long combos, to where you're likely going to kill most non-bosses before you can get it set up. Using Harpoon with Lunge is always good, the latter can be used as a sort of dodge in a lot of occasions but with both you can loop them together pretty easily. Might armor is probably the best way you can still take a lot of hits while still being able to string long combos and deal high amounts of damage, especially considering there's a fair amount of Longsword support lot in the Finesse tree. I personally use Finesse armor though since the damage output with it is ridiculous that and it just looks better imo
