BS is not worthless, but it is inferior to ninjablade in literally every metric except if you measure one single blow. The attacks are slow enough that you do need to pick your targets in teams or you really will end up whiffing on already dead enemies.
Try re-rolling with ninjablade if you want a sword, or kinetic melee if you just want a hard hitting primary.
/Dark is great especially if you layer on some defense. It combines well with both BS and regen thanks to parry/divine avalanche.
If you are going to stick it out, go in first, and focus on lieuts and bosses, don't bother with the minions on teams. The one saving grace of BS is that your good hits don't kill the enemy, but often get them low enough that someone's AoE will do it fast enough. So I just hit people once and then tab to the next one.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Well, that is unfortunate...I might have to look into ninja blade and see if it's anywhere close to my concept, but thank you for the well thought out write up!

Ninja Blade and Claws are very good dps. However it is also true that it is a different beast and playstyle to all the other damage dealers, you may prefer to play a brute.
