except in this case, the secondary stats are so much better than the little bit of extra strength melee offers that it literally is statistically stronger. here is dancing mad's calculator using my set up and then switching to melee:

it literally is a worse armor. i don't need a lecture on how stats work, as i've taken it into account.

Swap Fuma for Melee chest, Melee legs for Allagan and run those numbers again. Each WS does a tiny bit less damage but overall WS increases by a lot. AA goes down a little as well but not enough to make up for a 1.4% increase in WS damage.
