Maybe it's just me not wanting to use an axe and unarmed, as my character is set up for pure MC sword and board. I just dont like B12. I have one but eh... I thought it was too cheesy. I honestly didn't care if there was only 3 abilities that used MC. I was going to use those 3 abilities and still kill animals in manly toe to toe combat. Now, I just can't, and it makes me sad
Here's a thought! Make a combat axe for shield users. Sure you can use a hatchet or woodsman axe, but a dedicated 1h axe would be a cool addition. Any new item to sync with the new ravens bite meta I guess really. As much as I hate using meta...
I've been doing ok with a sword and shield up:
sideswipe + punch or chop for initial openings
then quick barrage for 6 IP
then storm of swords + sting
That works fine for bear, moose, etc. For slimes I just use full circle and get my ass kicked.
(I just wear chainmail and a miner's helm now for mining so it doesn't really matter if slimes wreck my armor. I can't find a way to generate IP effectively to use storm of swords on slimes without my guard down getting out of control.)
