Short answer? Fix the EX WS's. Not a perfect answer, but a start. I'm not asking for a complete tear down and rebuild of the job, and yes, melee is a "sizable facet" when the vast majority of job-exclusive gear and some of the very few JA's the job gets are melee-centric. It may not be a sizable facet to your personal play style, but it's there in the game engine. Just because people choose not to use it, doesn't it make it suddenly not exist.
