I can't punish people like I used to, they're too slow. The STR weapons I liked using were twice or more the weight of my favorite DEX weapons, causing me to sacrifice poise or HP to be able to maintain fast roll. There's always mid-roll and elemental weapons, but mid-rolling is too easy for me get punished with, and elemental damage is a joke compared to +15 and scaling.
Now I'm going to end my short rant by telling you all who use STR weapons that I have great respect for you. It takes special people to get around all of the things I listed and still do well. I'm satisfied with using a playstyle a majority of the people use when I know I can't handle the other playstyles.
