Well whenever I get a hold of the sword its like white on rice, b/c I can't keep everyone and their brother from charging me. I'm usually pretty good at staying alive, but when you got a hold of that sword its crazy. I say if a guy can go 10-15 kills straight that takes some skill and I blame myself for not recognizing it and nipping it in the butt, but some times you just can't make it to the sword guy. Oh well. I like it as it stands. If the sword took damage that means it would respawn in the same place all the time and lead to a lot of camping around the sword spawn.
