I've noticed a pattern with Strikers in Lockdown. Most of them like to charge in, deliver one quick slash, and then dash out. Rinse and repeat until opponent lays dead in the dirt.

It's a valid strategy sure, but is it fun? I don't think it is. But you know what is fun, dual wielding.

I propose that Strikers lose the utterly cosmetic shield and replace it with a stock weapon. The stock weapon would have predetermined damage that is specific to each tier.

This will give Strikers incentive to stay in longer to deal a couple more hits. I believe it will also give the class a much needed buff. Thus far, the only people that really make use of the Striker class are the ones that are really good at it. (or hit and run, whichever explanation you would prefer). Most people would rather play it safe with recon or guardian.
