I was wondering if anyone can spot a similar talent to gunslinger for melee? Ive had a look but cant find one, although this may be intended, I was almost certain there was one in DH though.

There isn't one for melee in DH or RT.

ok, thanks.

I guess its made up for with best quality weapons anyway, I was curious though.

You could create your own Talent and have it available as an Elite Advance.

I've created an extra talent for more effective use of dualwielding melee, can't remember what I called it though. I've also created the talent Gunblade that allows you to fight with a pistol and a melee weapon equipped at the same time, as if you had both two weapon wielder melee and ranged. It is such a staple of melee fighters in the table top game. I do generally make it available at the same time as the career gains its first two weapon wielder talent. I even offer an "improved gunblade" talent for higher levels.

Some theorycrafting have shown that a big 2h-weapon will generally do more damage than any combination of two onehanded weapons, even when taking into consideration things like limited numbers of parries etc. So I think it's quite allright to buff dualwielding a bit, because it is so decorative and enjoyable :-)

The Dual Strike Talent is the one way to do massive damage with a pair of one-handed melee weapons. At the highest end, like paired Power Axes or Power Fists, you're going to one-shot-kill just about anything currently statted in the game. Dual Shot does much the same for pistols, and anything from Bolt Pistols on up is often more terrifying than heavy weapons. At PB range a pair of Maximal Plasma Pistols used with Dual Shot kills **** near anyone and lets you spend your next turn striking a dramatic pose for intimidating your enemies or inspiring your allies while your gun cools off.

Don't know of one, but with all the additional ways to make your character obscenely dangerous with a pair of swords (for parrying excellence) you hardly need one. I have an interrogator assassin who has yet to be beaten in melee simply because she's got the Counter Attack talent and a good WS. Add to that the Blademaster, Hard Target and Critical Strike talents and you've got a near-unstoppable killing machine. Mind you, it's your game; do what you like. There is I believe a similar ability in the Inquisitor tabletop combat game so there's presedent and you should strive to have fun.

Does this means than 2 swords makes you have +20 parry ? (or +30 parry for mezoa pattern energy swords)

It doesn't. You parry with one specific weapon and apply that weapon's traits to the parry.
