I just think that Demoknights should be buffed a bit, at least to be on par with Batallions Backup+Zatoichi soldiers. It just seems a bit unfair that youre not really given a good bonus for giving up not only your ability to damage at range, but also the chance to lay crit-charged sticky traps if you go full Demoknight. I just think that if youre willing to charge in and melee a hale, you should be rewarded for the blatant stupidity. So I think that if you have both a shield (simply equipped, so this isnt removed when it's destroyed) and the Ali Baba's Booties/Bootlegger equipped, you should either A.) do more damage overall with your melee, probably around 250-275 instead of the current 195, or B.) have a sword-specific perk, such as increased overheal or health gained with the half-Zatoichi, and increased cap on the eyelander head bonus.
