I tend to run a Rifle / Sword & Board setup and the times i switch to sword and board are highly situational i.e. when i am gettting flanked and need to gtfo in a hurry, or need to catch a runner and hamstring him for a ranged to down him. Theres just only so many opportunities to effectively get to go in there swinging steel and feeling like a BAMF if the enemy is quick on the intercepts/cc
