Just started with blade dancer so i only have about an hours worth of feel on it so far. I love it. You get a fair bit of lunge distance. You take reduced damage while during it. and i'll have to double check but i'm pretty sure you don't even need to be facing your enemies. If you are surrounded by 3 enemies you can just tap the melee button and your guy will snap turn to them and hit them. It's only going to get better when i can really start to modify it.
