Agreed. I want a class that actually wields a sword with lighter-on-the-feet style (versus yet another Cappy, Champ, or Guard)- and it sounds like we're heading in that direction
I can see this need and agree with it. I've always thought that Champion would be better suited for medium armor, actually. Always wanted something that fit between burglar and champion in terms of gameplay style, but then that's also my go-to in most MMOs* when I'm not playing a tank. In my mind I can see sword and dagger for a swashbuckler class.
*ff14 being an exception as I didn't click with ninja, and my favorite melee DPS classes are the spear class and the scythe class. Though a dual-wield tank would be awesome now that I think about it.

The Guardian Waltz is as much chaining as I'm willing to do.
Another ranged in general would also be good, but I can't actually think of anything off hand. You have a bow/cross bow class, two magic classes, and a scream them to death class. What else is there even that would be unique and interesting enough gameplay wise? You could make it fit various niches (support, heal etc) but what even would it be?
