Focus Group Feedback

According to Focus Group Testing, this is one of the least favored melee classes, and needs significant redesign or rebalancing to see more playtime. The class was considered slow and clunky possibly due to ability design or weapon choice (Greatsword). It was also highlighted that the Skills felt weak and lacked impact.
