wtf is the range on the warlocks melee? I think added graphics would be cool.
generally it takes two normal melees to kill an enemy. even with a warlocks melee ability: 1) the overload time after using it increases for your next melee 2) it doesn't so enough damage where you get killed by whoever else because it's taking longer for you to get your second melee hit in.
long story short, warlocks lose most of the 1v1 melee battles even when using the melee ability. weak.
(this is whenever we we're both at full health and smashing melee)

I virtually never lost a melee battle as a Warlock. I was able to double melee quicker than most, especially titans; And I usually just put a short auto rifle burst into people before finishing them off with a melee. People in the beta didn't seem to respond to the melee range in Destiny, and so I was constantly the quicker to get that final blow in. Also jumping/gliding around in CQC and still being able to land melee blows is invaluable.
