Not quite sure where you got that impression from; the few times i did use a sword, it was either too short of a fight to judge, or i just got my face done in by Schradinger. :P
But yeah, it probably is right to say that i have a general understanding of how i should approach a melee; that being said, i'm sticking to my guns and bringing in the martial artist battle mage robot ninja i've planned on using and pummeling erryone with my magic enchanted fists. And sticking them with a bladed tail.
