I understood that Deprived is the hardest class but who is the second hardest?

Each class has advantages and drawbacks, so I guess it'll be like in DeS where you're best of starting with something that suits your playing style.

Deprived has even stats, so is good for building a character after your own preference.

The Japanese wiki states that Deprived is the only class that is particularily hard. There are rumours though that choosing it may hahve a positive effect on the games ending. Magic users are recommended for beginners.

Personally, I'd avoid Knight, since they make evasion very hard.

I want to play something more challenging this time. In DS I first picked the Knight and died too much then completed the game with that spell casting woman (royalty?).

Knight in Dark Souls is so heavy that he evades slowly?

Don't know about Dark Souls, but in Demon's Souls most people who played Knight didn't take in the fact that the Fluted Armour set was way too heavy for starter Knights, and you were encumbered by using it, thus the slow evade and movement. When you'd put enough points in Stamina, then that would become a non-issue (that's also true for any character, as I ended up using the Brushwood Set and Tower Shield and my character was a Hunter).
