I really enjoy it, granted I don't fully have the class down and I have never really played melee before. In my opinion, it is a great class for synced down content to be able pick up and play the rotation better than other classes.

It has a great survivability and damage mitigation tool kit. I haven't leveled up other melees so I have no idea what they have besides bloodbath.

The animations seem to be really smooth, least on female au ra, I can't speak for other races. (I haven't forgotten MCH Hroths)
