The way the game works, it allows for a few different playstyles. Since red health can get gained back within a certain amount of time- getting clipped by something doesn't mean the end. With the Cane I was able to take on that group. Rushed the fellow on the ground with the firearm, zip back to the next mob and used my own pistol to interrupt an attack/evis. You're invincible during this. It gives me time to think about my next move. The main thing I had to worry about was the ranged guy on the carriage and the dog.
It's not so much 'swing ur armz' so much as using the flow of the fight to your advantage. They telegraph often and you'll just need to be attentive.
You'll see. Pretty soon there will be a ton of videos with people all playing different and you'll find it's very possible with the right movement. Don't get discouraged! I promise it can be done. Weapons have big arcs and being able to transform INTO evades that also attack? It's not easy by any means... at first. Eventually it'll become second nature.
EDIT: Another thing me and a few other peeps playing figured out. I don't recall seeing in this thread
On the subject of getting recently lost HP back with attacking, it's also possible to swing a dead body for a few seconds and still gain HP. Say you traded blows with something and you finished it off. If you keep swinging at the body you can still get HP! Even if it's already dead! A good example is those giant boars- you can apply this nearly anytime you get the chance. Only a few mobs I've seen it doesn't work on.
