All AoE is not made equal, for sure. But, the perception that melee classes have terrible AoE is mostly unwarranted. They are weak in that they can run out of TP quickly (which the pull should be dead before mostly anyway), and some of them have awkward aiming conditions (looking at DRG).

But, all classes are capable of putting out good AoE DPS. Melee classes have a more difficult time of it (so your average terrible DF DPS will suck at it) but they can definitely compete.
