I had an idea when I was playing as a gunner the other day. the situation was that I was just fighting a Diablos mining my own business, when I kept getting attacked by those a cursed genprey. That's when I was thinking,"If I only had a sword...". That's when this idea popped up. What if gunners were also given a sword just like the sword and sheild combo, but no sheilds. That way you can have something to kill the pesky little monsters without wasting ammo, but your also balanced because you can't block, as gunners have never been able to. The blade damage is about the same, and it can have a poison, paralyze, or sleep effect to help gunners have a small advantage over their prey. I would like to hear what you think please comment!

Brilliant! Let's give blademasters guns,and that way,we'll remove all individuality form the game! I've been looking for a way to turn my badass,Vangis-clad,Anguish-wielding blademaster into a homogenous n00b.Truly an Epic Facepalm moment,Jesse.Wow.CrellinEtreyu 19:29, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Bow melee. Ohmpahkan 19:48, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, bow users already have a melee attack(press circle.) And you can press SELECT button to attack with your legs with a weapon shethed. What the hell do you want else??? You don't need to kill preys wit these attacks, just drive them away. Epic fail dude. Boris Kazakov 19:56, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

That's EXACTLY what I meant, Boris Kazakov. OP, do you think bow melee is effective? Your idea is basically the same, only for bowguns. I honestly see it as a loss of time. Ohmpahkan 21:30, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

There was an idea on the wishlist for a new Gunner weapon class, Dual Pistols, that had, among other things, a melee combo attack for killing small monsters without wasting ammo. Cobalt32 01:59, February 17, 2011 (UTC)Cobalt32

Well, Ohmpahkan, I cut tails with it and kill pesky preys if they're too annjying.Boris Kazakov 20:46, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Okay okay, that was a really stupid idea, but how about a blade bowgun attachment that increases bowgun melee damage, and also adds slash damage? Jesse 18:24, February 18, 2011 (UTC)

It's called USE NORMAL S LEVEL 1!!!! IT HAS INFINTIE AMMO!!! IF YOUR GUN DOESN"T SUCK THEN THIS WIll KILL THEM!!! USE YOUR BRAIN TO CHUCK IT AT THEM IT THAT DOESN"T WORK!!! Torry 23:34, February 18, 2011 (UTC)Torry

@Raven We already have Bowguns with bayonets for cosmetic appeal.Cobalt32 00:14, February 19, 2011 (UTC)Cobalt32

Normal S level 1 does cutting damage? Can you cut tails with that? Never known.68.28.41.225 03:34, February 19, 2011 (UTC) Rindoroki

Sentoryu_Raven - "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore." TALK - 18:56, February 19, 2011 (UTC) no it doesn't but bowguns got a slice shot in mhtri, and they are already some felyne skills that increase bowgun melee damage, so I guess the bayonet idea isn't that bad, but we do have slicing shots now...
