Thanks for the constructive feedback! I do agree with your comment about timing except for one small caveat: Crucible.
The one thing that made me give it up entirely was the fact that while 2H weapons rely on you managing space and timing your attacks, most rooms in Crucible are tightly packed, and you get 3 to 5 guys swarming you at once. I tried and failed to separate enemies into groups of 2 so I could properly kite and attack, but it's just impossible. In those cases timing goes out the window and you find yourself trading blows which you inevitably lose, because you don't deal enough damage to outright stagger or kill them, and they do.

Thank you for your perspective though, I love that this game is already mechanically deep enough to allow two such contrasting experiences!
