I now use the Bumper Jumper setup instead of Default.

You jump with your LB and melee with RB. This works much better for swords because your melee (sword jab) is much faster than the regular sword lunge. With the melee on RB, you don't have to take your right thumb off of the right joystick.

I will basically circle people while doing the fast jab.

I also upped my sensitivity to 5, and I have always used inverted.
