Melee roles are being gimped in this game

I guess hitting the "pew pew" buttons while standing still is tougher. Sometimes I feel like everyone's a troll.

it would fix more then you realize. As it sits right now any time you have to move a boss which happens more then you think melee lose all ability to DPS due to animation lag. On top of that melee in AVERY mmo are a liability when a boss has frontal and rear cleave like many in this game do, so having the positional requirements that goons and monks have it messes them up having to move into an area that can kill them to keep their DPS going. Simply removing the positional requirements would help melee out more then most would like to admit.

It would also dumb down the classes a great deal. This combat system isn't really that difficult. Removing any sort of depth to it for melee would make it even more faceroll. If I wanted that I'd roll BRD. I'll pass.
