At that point you're banking on the fights lasting <5-6 minutes, they shouldn't last that long but sometimes they do and at which point you're running away to reapply hunter's roll which would hurt the melee concept.

    As to the anecdotal story, 12.6 more accuracy on BLU without even counting any other stat compared to COR with daggers add another 5~ more if Almace is 85. 4.5 more from Suppa. 10 more if you're setting Accuracy Bonus because you don't make your BLU completely useless, obviously depends on play style of your group but you start to get the point.

    If COR got something like Pianissimo the idea of it being a viable melee option due to Hunter's Roll would become more plausible in my mind. Though at that point I wouldn't be surprised if SE thought COR is too powerful to get DW without a nerf.
    I just did a Prov Watcher run on COR, Tried COR/WAR meleeing for TP with Aluh for 1st time, and no sushi nor any acc food. Due to being 1st time, I forgot to pop aggressor, and TP set was crap(missing new acc DA TP piece.) and bad macro position made plenty of melee swings in WS set. But I parsed about 73% without aggressor, with aggressor it should be 85%, with new acc back piece and some more acc gear, it should hit 90%+ np. Note that each swing can crit to 140~160 a swing, without crit about 40~80. But the point is to gain TP faster than /ra. I'm very certain that you don't need a sushi to hit those if done properly.

    But I believe that for this particular BC, melee for TP is probably superior option than /ra for TP(with embrava and BRD songs) I parsed slightly higher than using staff and spamming WF on none-firesday, just because buffed last stand dmg is pretty high(easily 3k+, and I've done 4.1k once) on Prov watcher and I get to WS faster with a melee weapon. If you can some how not hit a 0 with Mkirs, I only see the output be even higher as long as TP move isn't zomg a big problem.

    As for "you need to run away from other DD to roll yourself" arguement, I always roll myself after melee done, since the roll that benefit me usually is different from melee anyways, so doing hunter doesn't hurt. Even if I /ra, I still use different set of rolls.
