i would say the same i have for a while now eleveat the Devestator to AT least TAC level of melee competency, through bayonets possibly a sword equivalent that ha more impact and durability than a knife but similar damage, and take tac up to power sword ..... should fix a lot .... and if the gap between melee becomes too smal give melees mechanics related to how they should do thier job that enhance thier mlee capabilities or other gear slots to set them apart, like better LP efficiency for GA classes buying tank stats, or a buff for striking from a rocket propelled attack for JPAs theres tons of ways to rebalance after everyone can actually participate in melee ok....

Appreciated, I will update my post. I was not 100% on it so added the ~ for wiggle room.

Again, no logical debate, just the flimsy insults. So the liar moniker is looking more likely.

prolly been said already but they execute with a bolt pistol, yet do not carry one ... weird .. and in TT they also have a bolt pistol as a standard loadout as all hvy weaps do .. dunno why any class on this game should not have a basic side arm as default

I have no idea why none of the heavy support classes don't have pistols at this point.

Even if it looks weird if they go with the "Heavy bolter disappears while they take out a bolt pistol" look, who cares. It'd be a lot easier and more balanced for heavy supports to actually be able to fight back.

Only Devastators and Havocs have pistols. And I would rather Reapers get better weapons than get a useless pistol. So yeah. give this to LSM and CSM. But idc if Xenos get it. Eldar pistols are so bad I will take my chances in melee.

Plus my biggest gripe is, how in the F@#K would Lootas hold theirs?

If only Eldar could throw grenades that fast... The suicide Reapers

Got nothing to contribute on the dark reaper since i don't play eldar...at all, and don't know their mechanics

But loota would be easy!

They'd unholster a slugga from the thigh and fire it with their left hand while they right holds the rest of the deffgun weight... OR they change firemods on the deffgun, because the actual deffgun models have sluggas built into the side of the deffguns. So they could just swap out the firemode to use an attached slugga instead of the dual big shootas/kannon/beamy gun or whatever

Just saying. I would gladly get better weapons than a shitty pistol. At least then they can make Reaper Launchers the OP weapon they are meant to be in exchange for Reapers being defenseless in melee.

Plus it goes against the Eldar theme of specialization.
