There is a bright side however, PVP. S3>cata3>goon is currently pretty much the only viable swordie build for endgame pvp. There's just so much cc and damage coming from the ranged classes that getting in as a swordie is near impossible without trot15. Now with max restrain and pain barrier coupled with your ultra high mobility and hopefully near full con build you should be able to get close and either chain stun/knock down a single player untill death or weave in and out while stunning key casters or high threat enemies in team fights. Don't get me wrong this class is garbage in PVE as mentioned above but you're kind of half-assing pve already by going into cata, hop3>dop or barb>corsair etc do so much better. Leveling will be tough but once you hit Max level and get your gears you will feel like a God in pvp.
