First heavy blade weapon? Really? Heavy blades are some of the best melee weapons in the game, few melees have the range, raw damage and AOE potential of Scindo Prime,  the Galatine   or, better yet, War. They're called "room blenders" for a reason. And the attack speed is "1.00", perfectly fast enough for any situation. Use more spin attacks, they affect multiple enemies and you don't have to chain the attacks for it to be effective (the spin attack specifically is where the  monicor   "room blender" comes from). That or pick up a Tempo Royale, its attacks are generally quicker than the other heavy blade stance and instead of winding up it uses a lot of back/returning swings, effectively cutting down the time between swings. But bear in mind that its effectiveness and diffuclty to aquire have made Tempo Royale rather pricey.

But really, try more heavy blades, they are incredibly powerful. This, along with the Gram, are one of the worst heavy blades--all the "Dark" melee weapons are mediocre at best.
