Swords need a fix!

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t swords melee weapons? If they are, why don’t they activate the melee passive skills from our skill trees? Saying it’s because they are power weapons isn’t valid, because with every other power weapon, whether they are two handed or not, I can still use my melee, and it will proc all the melee skills just the same. The sword is the only power weapon where using it denies you access to using your melee skills. Even though it’s a melee weapon. That’s not really reasonable or fun. I am a Titan main so I don’t know all of the other class passive abilities that can’t be used with a sword. But here are my suggestions: 1) Path of the juggernaut has a passive ability called Reversal, that grants health regen after a melee kill. This doesn’t activate with swords. Please fix. 2) Code of the protector has a passive ability called rally force, that restores health for you and nearby allies after a melee kill. This also does not activate with sword kills please fix.

  • It’s a sword, not a hand.

    • You melee abilities are abilities you use with your hands, your sword is a weapon, so no, your abilities do not come into play with a weapon.

      • Swords are not melee weapons...they are power weapons. All weapons in this game are conduits for our Light. So they don't operate in the same way they would if we were actually using gun or a sword in the real world. In essence, when we go up against minions of the Darkness, we are testing the strength of our magic (Light) against theirs (the Darkness)...and whomever is stronger wins. Sort of like a lightsaber duel between a Jedi and a Sith. That's contest of both their lightsaber skills, but also their strength and skill at using the Force. (Which is why Snoke was able hurl Rey around his throne room like a rag doll without even having to get up out of his chair.)

        • Unless we devise a way to conduct the energy from our arm to the blade of the sword, I don't think it's be possible... ^^;
