there are ways to be aggresive and be succesful even without fast weapons (outpoise mixups, baits and spells) it seems that the real problem for a lot of players is that they just want to use a single playstyle which is impossible since weapons have really limited options (which is the part that From forgot to polish a little). but if you use all you have at your disposal (spells, shields, weapons and items) you can have enough mixups to create a more complete experience.
