same with modern era.
there is a reason people don't generally use swords anymore.

It's because they aren't super soldiers who can take bullets and still make it in to close combat~

even then, they can only take so many, and if it hits the right place, they are going DOWN.
besides, imperial guardsmen use them too.

same with space marines of all types and kinds.

Well that pretty much is for all units...

exactly! You saw what I was doing there!

I guess there's a reason melee is limited to "melee" classes i.e. the classes that would be freakin' hard to shoot because of speed, closing the gap quickly will be important for them and even then getting caught up in a combo you might get munched by some other person's bullets

For me I would like to see dark reapers on the list. Otherwise I go with the teachers of old tales, those that have no need for spirit sones for there laughing god still protecs them

Dark Reapers are a confirmed class!
