Those are indeed ignorant groups. I've been Monk since launch. I've downed T5, all 3 Extremes.

Guess who's been top damage on every single fight, lol. That's not bragging, honestly, I'm just
saying that Melee are far from worthless on any content in this game. Mechanic/Dodging wise,
yes, it's lopsided. I can't argue that. But anyone who dismisses melee like that need to broaden
their horizons. =/
