Since swords are currently one of the worst weapons in the game, why not make them secondary weapons (except black talon). I think this could actually make them useful and viable in pvp as well as pve. In pvp I think they should have a damage nerf, if they ever become secondary, and a slower heavy attack. This should mean that landing multiple light attacks consistently will reward the user, or they use a slow heavy attack to get a ohko, like it currently is. Just an idea but I think it could work
