Preservation, if I recall, was never stated to be incapable of violence or destruction...quite the opposite - implied to be capable by Ruin at some points. Violence or destruction, however, are means to an end for Preservation (to preserve some things you must destroy others) while they are their own end for Ruin.
It was never that Preservation couldn't attack, it was only ever that Preservation and Ruin were evenly matched and neither was particularly willing to do what was necessary to end it.
