The movement speed aspect that's been annoying me lately is pole arm W key hit and run. With a glaive or a menavlion you can take a swing and rotate the mouse away to W key out, then spin back and repeat, holding W the whole time. With a 1hander against an experienced player doing this you might have to catch 3 or 4 blocks in a row before you can close the gap. It's a nightmare if you're playing with a peasant club against something like a Aserai Veteran.
