What would people think about having the super-heavy on the pick (not the normal heavy though) ignore shields? It’s a huge wind-up that is disheartening to do and then have it be blocked by a shieldvermin or marauder.
In the same amount of time as it takes Bardin to do that one attack and get blocked, a fast weapon could have swung a few times, opened the shield, and then headshot the enemy.
