Warlock vs Titan melee

A couple days ago I started a Warlock class, and when I was playing on the cosmodrome I noticed something; the Warlocks melee distance is insane. I played as a Titan before, and got to level 27, and the melee was really strong, but you have to be super close, within 1 or 2 feet, to land a melee. But with the Warlock, I could be 5 feet away and still hit an enemy and do solid damage. Does anyone else notice that? TLDR: warlocks melee has better range than Titan, why?

  • It's the one thing that makes up for a Warlock's lack of armor (that and there recovery time). Warlocks have to keep enemies at distance to survive. I play as Warlock and that Melee saves me all the time . Two trolls or one .vandal with swords or even a few dregs can shred a warlock with melee attacks in two seconds, so the melee range advantage Warlocks have on enemies is fair. Titans and hunters can survive close combat (due there armor). Warlocks cannot. Honestly, I think warlocks need more buffs. The void walker supercharge should be a little more powerful. The Titan super is just as deadly. Granted the Titan supercharge doesn't have the same range, but the Warlock super doesn't have much range either (significantly less range than a grenade throw and it takes significantly longer, I've been killed while using it many times). The Warlock super should also have a faster charge time. In every other RPG game the "glass cannon" class is permitted to use their abilities more. Now I do admit, that there are talents the Warlock can unlock to increase the range of their supercharge and the cool down time of abilities, but then they can't use any of the other talents in that row.

    • because shoulder charge mate. thats crazy range for you. blink strike also has crazy range. therefore warlock melee has the least range.

    • It's there to help the warlocks out. With their lack of armor destiny connoisseurs by increasing their melee distance. The titans is shortened but does insane damage, and the hunter as is typical sites right in the middle
