Swordsman Archive

Ok, I have been hearing alot of talk before the CU about the swordsman being useless, doomed, etc,... But that CU is finally out and it doesn't seem that bad, besides that fact that Area and Spin attacks are gone, and it is harder to be certified for our powerhammers, but really is all this so bad? We can probably work our way aorund these and brung Swordsman back to a top combat profession, we just need to work together and find ways around our problems. I understand that armor is a big problem and everyone is complaining we should have assault and I realize there is nothing we can do about that (so leave that out of this post) and I do not wish to brag but since I am a squad leader I can use Assault, you guys should consider SL. But really? What is so bad about the Swordsman and the CU and how can we find ways to work around or with those problems? If we work together Swordsman will be good again, we just need to help eachother out.
