Bungie missed an opportunity to bring back Quickfang and Crown Splitter-like swords.

Bungie Suggestion

Bummed out after getting the new Stryker's Sure-Hand. It's got all the look of an Aggressive Frame sword like Crown Splitter, but it's yet another Adaptive frame.

Let's not mince words here. There're several problems with Swords at the moment, and the lack of variety in function is only one of them. Besides Quickfang, Crown Splitter, and the exotics, all swords have been Adaptive Frame with the uppercut attack. They've become boring and stale because of this very lack of variety, which doesn't help their overall impracticality as high-risk weapons in D2.

Swords definitely need more love. I think buffing the guard can go a long way in making them more viable weapons. At least for pvp.

People think they should be in the special and primary slots, which I disagree with, they should be beefed up to the point where they become great heavy weapons.

They should out dps most heavies since most bosses do that dumb slam anyway that will kill you at higher levels

The biggest disappointment is that Stryker's Sure-Hand

A SWORD THAN CAN ROLL SURROUNDED

Can't use the AoE slam attack that Crown Splitter has

At least the uppercut can still hit anything next to whatever you’re using it on

Buff them or move the slot and raise the ammo. Sword types with different stances. Ornaments. New styles of swords. Rapiers. Katana. Daggers. Axe. Etc. swords for dueling in pvp. There is a lot that can be done here.

This isn't Dark Souls my dude.

It's sounds more like they are describing Warframe.

But since you mention it. Some Dark Souls melee mechanics could work really well in Destiny. We could have light weapons that attack fast; but have a short lunge and can't 1-shot.

Slower heavy weapons could have 1-shotting cleave attacks. While providing super armor during the swing animations.

Also... Staff, dagger, and greathammer animations already exists in game. They just need to reskin them and scale down the numbers.

Looks like a graphics card.

Ive been running crown splitter recently it is alot of fun. I can see them being afraid of balance issues with lightweight swords that arent locked to hunters, but i was really hoping we would get some new heavy swords

In d3 hopefully there is a smaller amount of swords in the pool, but they all are much better to be on par with d1 swords. I would much rather this than have the trash we have now.

I was trying to wrap my head around why swords fell off so much from D1 to D2. Meaning legendary swords. I use to use swords all the time in D1 now in D2 i never touch them. The only noticeable difference i can see is the massive decrease in ammo.
