the problem with the current balance is that uptime optimization can be completly (and i mean completly) ignored and melee still end up on top compared to physical ranged, thats even ignoring the fights where it really just means "sit on the bosses ass" but of course that is different and fair. "we (melees) have to work so much harder" would maybe have more of a ring to it if you couldn't just skip the "working harder" alltogether and still end up ahead.
