The Zweihander is imo the best two handed weapon especially once its upgraded with a shiny stone.Beating that succubus bitch was a real ... bitch. Mostly it came down to luck, for me, at least, I lost count of how many times I died, because I charged in to attack and she spawned one of those death balls right behind me, pretty much 1 shotting me. I think I was around lvl 55-60 when I finally beat her, my strength was 30ish and I had about 450 HP. I also was using a holy spell that fired a cross that would explode. I didn't use the spell much, it takes a while to cast, but it hits for decent damage.
You are doing pretty much what I did, try adding more health to your character and boosting your strength. I also had a pair of rings that would allow me a second or two to recover missing health by attacking the boss, it doesn't always add much, but every bit can help.
Stay away from using slow heavy weapons. Quick attack weapons do less damage, but you aren't stuck in animations that long. The first weapon you find in the beginning of the game is a pretty decent weapon for speed and damage and there is a claymore (not sure if it is, but the weapon looks like a 2hander/claymore to me) you can find late in the game that has pretty decent damage and speed as well.
After a bit of playing around, I would recommend that you upgrade one of your weapons. (I never did this for my fight with her and now I wish I had) The damage boost you get from it is very good and should help a lot with that fight. I upgraded the 'starter' weapon to the max I could and it is pretty impressive. It is quick, does fairly good damage and doesn't cost much stamina to use.
Also yeah she is a bitch to fight and once she shoots the little balls you need to tab block to create perfect blocks, if she creates 2 blood spheres, once she creates a shield for herself and the others is aimed to trap YOU but if you time it right, you can use it a s a shield against her orb barrage!
