After playing with vindicator a while here are my thoughts. Greatsword is a pretty fun weapon and is very promising but most of my negative reaction comes with vindicator legend itself.
The dodge: Honestly I don't like the dodge. It makes the class feel clunky and more often then not gets you killed after you use it. Personally i feel like this skill should be like an f2/f3 rev skill thats an invuln that ends with damage or whatever the grandmaster traits are so that its not that spammable or its not an anchor that gets vindicator killed all the time. The way you have it set up with one dodge to make it less spamable is not really a solution to this. This is a work around that makes this skill a thing and you can control by putting a relevant cool down to it.
Vindicator legend utilities: This feels like a clunky herald. Whats the point of having two legends in one when its literally just herald but clunkier. The f2 should really be a legend swap when your in alliance stance that refreshes your energy. So you actually have two legends and can legend swap between them in alliance stance. The way you have it set up is way to confusing and impossible to plan for. You use 3/5 skills and then you swap to shiro for example. When you swap back from shiro its still the 3/5 skills used. You still wanna use all your half your skills on your hot bar and ideally the swapped skills but at that point its not worth swapping for the energy cost. It just promotes never using your f2 and leaving you with what feels like inferior herald. The only real other way outside of actually making vindicator two legends is every time you swap from your legend (shiro jallis etcx) it resets to one alliance but thats just herald. Ideally make this alliance legend actually two legends in one and not budget herald.
Vindicator Elites: You go from shiro elite, herald elite, jalis elite and mallux elite and these alliance elites feel underwhelming. Personally I feel like rev elites have always been huge energy drains for big rewards if you know how to play with them. The spear is just like a press this and some extra damage (not even big damage). The urn just gets you killed. I dont understand it. The elites are super underwhelming.
Some skills also feel slow and clunky. The backroll in saint stance is like slower and clunkier shiro dodge roll.
