BUT as I said a thousand times before, it's impossible to be 100% realistic in Minecraft because in reality you never have to hit an enemy multiple times to kill or disable him, you only have to hit him once. The hard thing is to get through the enemy armour and cover. Well, I never fought with armour, so I can't say anything about that, but to get through the enemy cover, speed is helpful to trick out the enemy with feints and hit him where he doesn't expect it.

All in all I'd say it's good as it currently is because with enough tactic reach is more important than speed. The dagger is still no weapon I find very useful. In PvE I only use daggers to take out archers. Poppycock. You clearly know nothing about what the human body can actually take(and dish out). It would take a very heavy sword stroke to kill an unarmored person with one hit, and that would leave you very open against attack. In fact, in a normal situation humans only use a small amount of their body's true potential. Our brains can activate three things in a bad situation: Two glands above our kidneys start making adrenaline while stores of it are released, and when faced with a danger we cannot defeat, our leg muscles kick into overdrive, letting us run faster than a cheetah for about four seconds before their hidden energy reserves deplete. If we cannot flee, say you've been mountain climbing and an unstable wall just caused you to be pinned under a 1,500 pound boulder, your arm bones are strong enough(albeit barely) to hold it off long enough for your muscles true potential to activate, giving you a burst of strength so powerful you actually just risked ripping your muscles off the bone, but it allows you to throw off that rock like it's a little 10 pound thing you'd decorate a garden with. You're hurt, but alive. Wow. The youtubers Rhett and Link had a video on this once, and it was pretty cool. I had heard of it before as well.
