Honestly, as a warlock I really miss sword skating. I wish all classes could have a fun mechanic to dash through various parts of the environment. Not everyone's a speed runner that can skate through whisper, LW, or zero hour ez pz. However, I do understand why you removed skating from dunkable orbs. Hopefully, you can introduce a fun way to dash around the map that's accessible to all classes.
I don't know Bungie... Swords are way less fun now unless I'm spamming light attack over and over. It gets boring after a while though. The new energy system really doesn't make up for the changes.
