So during twitch they said marine fists are too fast. Prepare for ork fists aka garbage. One second fast attack wind ups. FOUR second power attacks. In other words, prepare to completely forget about ever using them.

WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE!

In all seriousness perhaps the Klaw felt useless because the Fist was so much better in comparison? The weapons should be equal; further changes can happen from there.

So the weapon the community dislikes is going to be used as the baseline....

And you haven't seen the Sisters yet.

This is LSM's fault!

I never really minded the klaw. It works surprisingly well when you turn off auto-targeting and learn to anticipate where a target is going to dodge to.

What bothered me was that the power fist was basically the same weapon, but almost twice as fast.

From being on both the fisting and recieving end of the power fist, I can tell you that its current incarnation is simply too good, so this is probably the reasonable approach to take.

They are not made for what you want them for bro. The Powerfist and Powerklaw are not made to massacre entire squads of people like they do now, while also killing tanks. They are made to kill vehicles while also being able to kill infantry on occasion, in that order.

It was stupid, it was overpowered, and it's getting nerfed because it deserves it. The ork powerklaw didn't need to be brought up, the powerfist needed to be brought down. Had they buffed the klaw all they would have done is cause the powerklaw to be as cancerous as the powerfist.

Their reign of terror is coming to an end, and rightfully so.

Anti tanks aren't meant to excel vs infantry.
They're supposed to be able to kill infantry, but be inferior option to everything else.

The fist is too good vs infantry at the moment. Given the choice of having the klaw also be too good against infantry or the fist reduced in its effectiveness I'd definitely go for the latter.
