Yet you still get the benefits of the melee perk tree?! If it's not considered part of the melee ability it shouldn't grant that perk as a result of using it imo. And yeah ok in trials etc its not that much of a problem and every class has its own thing yadayada, but my main point Is shotgun+juggernaut+twilight makes it more like, little risk high reward. The shield for juggernaut takes a headshot to take off alone which is dumb imo too.
