So by now we have a handful of melee options; all of which come in the form of legendary or exotic swords.
With the recently leaked Rise of Iron artwork, we get a glimpse at what could potentially be a new weapon class in Destiny: Elemental Battle Axes.
Whether this particular BA is a legendary, exotic, or even obtainable at all is left to be seen.

This got me thinking about melee in Destiny.
What is melee weapons aren't only a heavy weapon item? What if the melee weapon system was reworked, and we got a whole slew of new weapon classes.
[quote]Examples:
Primary weapons - longsword, katana, mace,
Secondary weapons - dagger, hatchet, shield?
Heavy weapons - battle axe, lance, scythe [/quote]
The addition of finding some ancient mythical melee gear would bring Destiny just a little closer to it intended Mythical Sci-fi genre.
It could open up many doors to the way we solve puzzles, to the encounters Bungie can throw our way. It can open up a whole new type of Crucible throwdown.

Who would win in a duel?
A hunter with a hatchet, a Titan with a mace, or a warlock with a scythe?
