I dont know about you, but I do think melee should be able to take on stronger types, red cons and all. Its not about exp, cause in most cases the things that con red to me have 10k+ hams so there not going down quickly. So I'm not going to earn more exp then someone else just by takeing on reds cons of the same time fame. If I wanted or need exp I would clearly go fight something that would drop quicker and still gave decent exp. In other words more exp for less time.

Second point.... I'm basicly the tank. They want us to group hunt more and clearly I earn alot more exp in groups then I could alone. Since there area good amount of creatures that are aggo or pack, group is the way to go. I've run from one city to another just seeing want I would find on the way, while I could take down most things, I didnt dare do it alone simply cause I couldnt deal with 4 or 5 of them on me. So really for every thing that I could actually do alone there where 5 or 6 others I had to pass by. But now back to the main point, when I'm in a group and I let the ranged start the fight, 9 out of 10 times once I hit the target it switches and forces on me. It doesnt matter that someoneis shotting it for 2k +.... it wants me cause I directly hit it. So I need to be able to survive or else I'm worthless to the group. This is the main reason why I should be able to take on red cons.. Not for exp gains while solo (cause thats to slow on a red) But for grouping. The only time I'm not the direct target is it theres another melee, and considering most times a group of 10 consist just two melee's if that. There are times where theres more though.... But even then we are notattacking same target cause theres 5 or 6 mobs on us.

My point, dont scream nerf unless you actually play theclass and know what they deal with. I've done markmens (exept rifle getting smack with a rifle in your hand isnt nice I will say that much) and gained and taken on alot more then I ever did as unarmed. I could gain master markmen alot eaiser then to gain just unarmed or tka novice even more so since unarmed doesnt get vk's till tka novice now. I've used comprasion about how strong or easier it is at time for another class but yet I'm not saying nerf. I just dont want to see the class nerfed more and become worthless just cause a ranged show a tka takedown something they couldnt.

On a final note, unless the mobhas a really big weakness to kinetic attacks and high protection against what ever your guns useing... If a TKA took down something you couldnt as ranged, your doing something wrong big time!

I am well into the TKA tree and I can see that this has to be my backup fighting technique now after all the "changes"

I'd say make the skill point costs half of all the other professions because hell thats what this profession is worth now. hahah I know its never gonna happen. They won't admit that putting melee in this game was ahuge mistake.
