seems like a very good idea. but personally, i think it owuld be a good idea if the stats of the weapon differ depending of who's holding it. not really sure what those stats would be, though.

What about
+20% damage
-Swing speed/ damage vulnerability

here's my idea

+Able to remove Electro Sappers (in one hit).
+Has 12% longer melee range.
+20% melee attack speed.
- 15% damage penalty.
- No random critical hits.

What about area damage? This IS basically a Thunder Hammer from Warhammer 40,000

what if this thing had some sort of sapper collection system? like, the weapon starts with a 20% damage penalty and a 10% slower walk speed, but for every sapper destroyed, 5% of the negative attributes are removed. So, after destroying 4 sappers, you would have a 10% faster walk speed and no damage penalty. Like the eyelander, but for pyros and engies! alternatively, this could also grant the bonuses for killing spies, but thats up to you guys.

And it wouldnt reset after death

Any potential stats that don't slow swing speed, increase damage or have some mini crit function OR area damage are a total mismatch to what this weapon does in the 40k universe.

It could be quite gimmicky but to replicate how the weapon works in Dawn of War games the area damage mechanic could be a rage bar that gets filled based on damage done and then you can activate rage which would then slam the hammer on the ground dealing some small amount of damage but either stuns people and/or knocks them back within some certain radius.

alright your pushing the anti-sapper role too much, try to go with a more offensive idea

the fact this goes for pyro demo and engie it dont really work because demo and pyro can share a weapon but they cannot share it with engie that well so...
