They fixed it so you can't cancel your melee animation to get more strikes in, also reduced her verticle stun bash leap. People were melee-shield-melee to get in extra hits. Also there is extra time after the shield bash before you can melee as it was being used not as intended.
Now if you cancel the animation you cant throw another strike until after your original strike animation would of ended.
I remember in the DCU mmo people were abusing the animation cancelation to turn were-gorillas into wrecking balls.
I'm also looking at this picture of Bridge welding the gauntlet that she is wearing and I think it might be a bad call to weld something you are currently wearing without proper eye-wear on.
