Swords need a buff.
Just a preface, this is directed at ONLY crucible.
Right now, swords are, in my opinion, very bad. Compared to rockets and machine guns, swords are an awful option. Rockets instantly kill you and machine guns gun you down before you get close.
What I am suggesting is increasing the damage reduction while swords are equipped. To balance this out, it would take two sword swings to kill.
This promotes a more direct counter system. Swords counter rockets, if the damage reduction allows them to withstand one rocket, because they are able to kill the rocketeer before he can get another shot off.
Machine guns counter swords because they are able to output consistent damage, burning through the sword bearers health.
Rockets, as we all know counter machine guns. Because the rocket will instantly kill the machine gunner before he gets his damage off.
tl;dr: increase sword damage reduc, swords counter rockets, machine counter swords, rocket counter machine.

2 Antwortenmy sword can block rockets
-
1 AntwortenI survived a rocket while blocking with my sword. I think they are fine just the way they are. You just need to learn how to use them effectively. Plus why would you bring a knife to a gun fight?
-
I have a sword thts on -blam!-ing fire!....I think it needs a buff haha thts practically what ur saying
-
1 AntwortenThe arc exotic sword has no idea what your talking about
-
Git gud. They are amazing.
-
Perhaps a slight swing speed, but that's IT
-
3 AntwortenOP's light level on characters Conclusion:[spoiler]OP IS A FGT[/spoiler]

I don't think they need a buff in the slightest. Blocking a shotgunner an then slicing them in half is so satisfying it's unreal. Plus you can block a rocket or golden gun shot and survive. A -blam!-ING GOLDEN GUN SHOT.

Swords do not need a buff. Jesus man, everyone is freaking blade dancer now this is BS *turns around* WTF BUNGIE!?!? Get your shet together. The bladedancers super is garbage now you idiots.....gosh
-
Maybe you should learn to utilise the block/guard feature.
-
2 AntwortenJust no. Swords shouldnt even be allowed in cruicible let alone a buff. They are decently strong any stronger and they could be OP
-
3 AntwortenNah. I like giving sword users a nice Telesto to the face as they're rushing me. Then wave.
-
I actually agree with you. The L2 defend feature is fine the way it is. I actually think it would be balanced if it wasn't so easy to kill a sword bearer with a shotgun
-
4 AntwortenWe need an all swords mode. That would be crazy fun
-
Use the guard
-
The 25 kills part is a bitch right? When you sword, you have to think like a scrub shotgunner. Crouch in a corner and wait.
-
You can easily survive a rocket with a sword
-
1 AntwortenIf your a Titan and you use the agility tech. Can you boost and slice away from a rocket as it is coming towards you from medium distance?? Someone should test that. I got shit to do for a min. Lol xp
-
2 AntwortenNo, swords are easy if you play in ally's and not in the open
-
2 AntwortenNo. Just don't get hit.
-
2 AntwortenHave you never used the guard tactics when approaching a player in crucibles? I think the sword is kinda easy to get a couple kills each time a heavy drop.

1 AntwortenWhat the hell dude are u stupid there good already
-
2 AntwortenBlock ! Shade step Block Shade step Block Shade step Go ham once near
-
1 AntwortenBlock and let teammates shoot. Tank the rockets.

The only buff the sword needs is when you trade killing blows with other enemies. Sometimes when I trade, the feed says I was killed by whomever, but when he dies all it says is "[[i]whonever[/i]] is down. They get credit for a kill but I don't? Needs a fix. :P
-
Not necessarily a buff but a fix. I have had several cases where if they punch me when I swing (with energy), they somehow just deflect the swing and shotgun me again anyway. There is also the case where the swordbearer and/or the target sometimes gets sent flying after coming into contact.
