We're going to make the game a bit more tolerable for melee DPS

You are complaining because difficulty is high?

More like because the difficulty of playing ranged is not usually equal to the difficulty of playing melee.

Sometimes I have to ask myself why I even play a melee class. But then I remember that I am a masochist.

Stacking melee is generally a bad idea in any MMO while stacking ranged is something that trivializes a lot of mechanics in an encounter and just goes unpunished.
