Quick comparison between patch 1.10 and 1.12 of Elden Ring, the latter of which released just before the DLC for the main game.
According to the patch notes:
Increased the speed of some attacks of the following weapon types:
Axes / Greataxes / Hammers / Flails / Reapers
as well as the speed of consecutive attacks for the following weapon types:
Light Bows / Long Bows
Looks like a W for the users of the above weapons.
