Swords are useless. You cant use them against any bosses without instantly dying from a melee, or just getting blown away by a stomp to the ground. You cant use the sword against the raid boss either so the only time this sword is useful is against regular enemies. Even then, you're getting swarmed by enemies and bullets so the sword is just a death wish. Maybe is swords had powers like the exotics from Destiny 1, they'd be useful, but in this case, i just use my 305 sword for light and its completely useless.
