But that's the point. On melee, there's no fumbling through anything, there's no slowing down, there's just wading through the masses with no need for situational awareness or tactics. There's burn farms, then there's melee in standard content, then there's everybody else lagging behind. The situation changes dramatically as the team size becomes greater than 1, of course, but solo? Nah, no blaster is going to outpace a meleer from 1 to 50 there.
