Bonneti's is a very useful and interesting skill.

Swordfighters are actually not too popular in pvp, but in pve they're god if they god crystalline/fellblade.

Performance wise, hammer is cool cus knockdown, but the other two have shields. Its about the same, really.

First, warrior in what? PvE? PvP? What do you plan on doing? Different builds for different situations.

Second, axes and hammers have pretty much dominated swords since forever. Many swordsmen are just terrible Paladin builds.

Catching up as in damage, or catching up as in people using them?

Smart people have rarely used swords, as Final Thrust is the only skill it has worth the tactical cost, and it is very situational.

Let's put it this way: As a Monk in CA, I can have 3 sword warriors on me at once and not really care. My health isn't going to be dropping any time soon. One good or 2 bad Hammer warriors, and I'm ****ed. They get in 5 hits (most of which I'm on my butt for) and I'm toast.
