Give all swords repel/reflect mechanics
I would say it can be the first... idk.. one full second of activating block to reflect all projectiles(maybe even supers? If not make it an exotic perk) with a 5 second cool down.
Honestly I think it should consume even less ammo than the current state of block. I'd even go as far to say it should consume no ammo when you manage to reflect damage, or at least get a full reimbursement of ammo when you kill your target within 2 or 3 seconds from reflecting.
It's a real shame how one shotgun blast blows up your block, just to die from a second shot.
With this change, even legendary swords will be very viable and rewarding to skilled players. Not to mention it blows up shotgunners.

I think swords are fine as they are. Like anything there are pros and cons. If you know how to use them they are true multi-tools. You can use them to fly, slash, bash, guard and nudge. I just wish there was more variety and mods focused with swords in mind.
