I'm a lvl 32 hunter with both subclasses maxed out. I have never used the sword except for only one time. Reason is because every time I enter a raid and the first question that is always asked is if I have a good rocket... Me- "Yeah I have max gally..." Them- "yeah we're gonna need you to down crota." Also there was this one time when no one was swordbearer... Them- "Rndom you mind running sword?" Me- "Never done it but I could try." Then... "Guardian Down!" Them- "there weren't enough rockets hitting him. Rndom you have a good rocket?"
Me- "yeah I have gally maxed out." Them- "ok we need you shooting at crota..."
[spoiler]moral of the story is if you wanna learn to run the sword leave your gally in the vault and just leave your unmaxed suros equipped and hope they don't boot you lol.[/spoiler]
Edit: lol I see I'm not the only one with this problem!!! Also it isn't that I don't want to try. I just don't get the chance to. Big difference.

No not bad at all for the sword bearer does not need always be a hunter. any class can do it.
